What it does

  • Spatial consistency: toast enters and exits from the same direction, making swipe-to-dismiss feel intuitive
  • State indication: a morphing feedback button shows the state change
  • Explanation: a marketing animation that shows how a feature works
  • Feedback: a button scales down on press, confirming the interface heard the user
  • Preventing jarring changes: elements appearing or disappearing without transition feel broken
  • A fast-spinning spinner makes loading feel faster (same load time, different perception)
  • A 180ms select animation feels more responsive than a 400ms one

Requirements & configuration

  • Don't require dragging past a threshold. Calculate velocity: Math.abs(dragDistance) / elapsedTime. If velocity exceeds ~0.11, dismiss regardless of distance. A quick flick should be enough.
