Microinteraction

A small, focused interaction with a single purpose.

A microinteraction is a tiny, self-contained moment — checking a box, liking a post, toggling a switch, adjusting a volume slider. Each one is small enough to design and polish in isolation.

Great microinteractions feel satisfying. The tiny bounce on a heart icon, the slight bob of a switch, the chime of a saved file — these moments add up to a product that feels alive and trustworthy.
