Microinteractions: Little Things that Matter
summary
Defines microinteractions as single-use visual cues and maps three building blocks — feedback, transition/animation, and personality — with concrete examples: an animated mute icon, the hypnotic three-dot loader, and a recreated Medium clap implemented in vanilla JS. Shows an implementation using a Vue single-file component (template, script, scoped styles) and CSS keyframe animations. Notes longevity, A/B testing, and that the Medium-style clap runs with only ~10–12 moving elements, so performance stays practical.
