Checklist - Animation showoff

Soon I'll release this web app on GitHub! But first, a quick question to everyone:

Do you like the animation? :)
Imagine you are using this web app to create a to-do list or checklist. Would the animation annoy you or you like it?

This is super slick.

I'm on the fence as to whether this might annoy me, but I definitely think execution is there. There is also a practical purpose for the animation as it makes it could make the success action a bit more obvious.

Whenever I use an app, I NEED the feedback from the app. I am a big fan of animations, nothing fancy but a simple slide up, fade in can make a big difference. Thank you for your reply!

If you must animate it, I would suggest maybe not moving it all the way from the bottom. Start with it a little below where it will end up, and also start from 0 opacity. It will fade in and slide slowly and smoothly to its final position. Subtle, but better IMHO

I think it's pretty cool. Would like it slowed down a tad personally.

Interesting way to add items to the list!

I do think that tweaking the duration and playing with the easing can make it even better, in it's current state it feels a bit to blunt.

I am glad you like that!
I am definitely planning on tweaking it a bit.
