The latest icon change removed the spinning + checkmark "boost" animation, please bring it back
ShadowJonathan opened this issue · comments
Pitch
Before the massive icon change, we had a custom boost "spin" that would appear when you clicked the button, plus it'd show a checkmark (to differentiate without color) when something was indeed boosted, please bring it back
Motivation
While the fav icon still spins now, the boost icon is a bit inert by comparison, i love little quirky touches like this, so i'm making this issue to keep track of this sorta-regression
The checkmark icon is made irrelevant for all icons but the “boost” icon, and hopefully mastodon#27924 will be merged soon enough, making it irrelevant there too.
For the boost animation, this require substantial work, and it's something I'd like to see upstream too, please open an issue there if you can!
I'm not sure, did upstream have the same animation? If so, i can just refer to it, else ill have to refer to glitch-soc
The checkmark was something only glitch-soc had, but the animation is something that was upstream too
Animations are still lacking, but an active icon variant for all icons should now serve the same purpose as the checkmarks
Thanks, ill keep the issue up until there's an animation, but the active variant should already give the button some more oomph :)
