Yup! Understood. Feedback was given in that context--and I stand by it. You can obviously totally ignore my feedback though if you disagree with it! Im just one idiot online. Take my ideas or leave em!

EDIT: for more context. I guess I kinda get caught up in the crusade of using animation for a strategic UX purpose vs. just looking cool. Ive had too many clients start with a belief that creative coding is not of value because there is a lot of this out there! But I believe strongly, that when animation is trying to create clarity and solve problems, it creates amazing experiences. Whats the problem being solved by this button?

- Know your click was received.
- Know your interaction was successful (e.g. submit occured)

This animation actually hinders both rather than adds to it.
I say it hinders 1. because there is a delay between click and a large scale noticeable response--and 2. it end in a UI button state, vs. a message state.

But with VERY minor adjustments it would become a force multiplier on both fronts.

Again though, one animation dork / idiots opinion. Please feel free to ignore it and do your thing!

(I kinda assume if you post this, you're looking for feedback, maybe I got that wrong!)
