Feedback should confirm, not distract
Buttons, toggles, and form fields should acknowledge input within ~100ms. A short state change is enough. Long animations that block the next action feel expensive for the wrong reason.
Prefer opacity and transform over layout shifts. Users tolerate motion better when content doesn't jump underneath their cursor.
Motion has a job
Use motion to show relationships: where something came from, what changed, and what happens next. If an animation doesn't teach or reassure, cut it.
Respect reduced-motion preferences. Premium also means inclusive.
A template you can rewrite
Swap these paragraphs for notes on hover states, empty states, loading skeletons, or success toasts. Keep the same slug structure and cover pattern so the articles section stays consistent.
Four dummy articles ship with this template so the listing page never feels empty while you write the real ones.
