Figma microinteraction
The purpose of microinteraction in UX is to provide visual feedback, enhance the user experience, guide user attention, and create a sense of delight and satisfaction.
Delight and sastisfaction. Hard to measure but it creates a real value for users and increase NPR of companies. And finally it's chip. All you need is a designer and their 🌈imagination.
This one is perfect for usability, but damn it is boooooring.
Although these sophisticated microinteraction are designed to be simple and easy to understand, users may still find it confusing before they are introduced to a new behavior.
But give them time and finally they will fall for a product driven by emotions. You might heard about Asana's unicorn. Here we go.
While there may be limitations in technology that prevent designers from making huge leaps forward, the use of animation provides new opportunities for experimentation. It's no wonder that animation has become an annual trend in UI design each year.
Does it mean that microanimations must be ubiqutios? No, it 🤚doesn't! And here is why:
Too many of it can be overwhelming and distracting, leading to a negative user experience. It can also slow down the loading time of the interface, causing frustration for users. We for sure don't want this.
Moreover, some users may experience 🥴motion sickness or vertigo when exposed to certain types of microanimations, such as rapid flashing or spinning animations. This can be particularly problematic for users with neurological conditions or sensitivities.
Microanimations as everithing at the interface create 🧠cognitive weight and if it is too much or too complex it can lead to cognitive overload, making it harder for users to process information and navigate the interface. This can be especially problematic for users with cognitive disabilities or impairments.
So, as we see microinteraction isn't the silver bullet and we should use it with cautiousness. Let's elaborate the best 💼cases to add some feedback from a system.
Form Input. Microinteractions can be used to help users fill out forms more efficiently by providing feedback on their input. For example, showing a checkmark or green border when the user enters a valid email address can help them avoid reerrors and improve their overall experience.
The main rule here is to be descreet and use simple and understandable feedback to prevent user from distraction.

Notifications. We can notify users of important information, such as new messages, updates, or alerts. By using animations or sounds, microinteractions can grab the user's attention without being too intrusive. Plus this can provide uncosness bond with our app which can develope a habit loop.

Progress Indicators. Through showing users the progress of a task, such as uploading a file or loading a webpage by providing visual feedback through animations or progress bars, we can provide users with a better understanding of how much longer they need to ⌚wait, which can reduce frustration and anxiety.

Navigation. Microinteractions can be used to improve navigation by providing visual cues, such as highlighting or animating menu items. This can make it easier for users to find what they are looking for and navigate through the app or website.

Gamification. Microinteractions can be used to add elements of gamification to an app or website, such as 🍒rewarding users for completing tasks or achieving milestones. By providing visual feedback and rewards, we can motivate users to engage with the app or website more frequently.

Personalization. Microinteractions can be used to add personalization to an app or website, such as customizing the user's profile or preferences. By providing options for personalization, we can help users feel more connected and invested in the app or website, which can increase retention and user 😏satisfaction.

Providing immediate feedback, guiding users through tasks, and adding elements of gamification and personalization, microinteractions can make tasks easier, more engaging, and more enjoyable.
And let's be honest, who doesn't love a well-designed microinteraction? Whether it's a satisfying animation, a clever loading screen, or a witty error message, a little bit of fun can go a long way in improving the user experience.
So let's embrace the power of microinteractions and make our digital products a little more delightful, one interaction at a time😉.
