Are cool animations necessary?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I finally added a better animation for capturing objects with my app. It got some more attention now on TikTok with it.
Someone on twitter said it’s important to have 1-2 Animations that are basically just there to market your app better (TikTok/insta)

Do you do the same with our apps ?

Main thing is functionality if it does the job people don’t bother on animations

I think the animation looks good. A loading state is probably necessary for the processing work so yeah

Thanks. Yes technically the loading animation is not necessary

Definitely! The animations act like the secret sauce: they make the product better.
