I added subtle hover animations to icons and it made a bigger difference than I expected
I was working on a project and noticed most icons just sit there with no feedback at all.
So I tried adding really small hover animations just to see if it changes anything.
Nothing fancy, just slight motion on hover. But it actually made the UI feel way more responsive and “alive” than before.
It’s one of those tiny things that users probably don’t notice directly, but it changes how the whole interface feels.
Curious how others approach this
Do you prefer completely static icons or subtle motion?
