UI Animation articles and design guides

Micro-interactions, timing, and the question of whether a thing should move at all. This tag sits between motion design and product design. Two hundred milliseconds feels instant, four hundred feels considered, eight hundred feels broken, and knowing which you want is most of the craft. We compare the tools honestly, including where Jitter beats After Effects for product work and where it doesn't. If your animation exists to explain a state change rather than to be noticed, you're in the right place.
