There is no point in talking about these things in absolutes. Sure, animations can and often times are overdone, but done well they are extremely useful and gives you just the right context on what happens/happened. We are visual creatures who build up a mental model not based on static images, but dynamic interactions. That hover, or overscroll animation gives you essential additional information.
- z3c0 4y agoAgreed. The best animations "mean something". As in, if a page swipes left in a transition, it should be to indicate to the user that they're moving forward in a workflow, and the reverse, backwards. Up/down imply the same, but within the same step. If you're in the Western world[*], this can feel very intuitive. I'm the static HTML type, but one can really smooth out their UX with animations and transitions. [*] where reading is typically left-to-right
