HOw should I animate the new messages in? - NoahWatchmaker - 02-18-2016
so I don't have a demo. sorry. yeah. I can't show you the code i'm using for paranoia purposes. Thanks for understanding.
but here is a mockup

so everytime you type a message or someone else does i want the new one to come in a slick way.
i may have multiple animation options.
I'm trying to get the right "FEEEL" so please, throw me your 2 cents.

If you don't show us the code, how can you expect us to help? Also, it looks bad.

This isn't about help coding. I'm a genius with that. (I say that tauntingly)
I want ideas for how the animation should look. Fade in, roll in. fade in... 3d flip in
Isn't there a study behind this or something?
I just joined a "UX" Forum ... i'm going to ask those people.
I'm a UX/UI developer as my real job

I wouldn't go too fancy with the animation. A seamless, simple animation would go way better than an elaborate one. Imagine if you're in a hurry to reply or are sending lots of messages in quick succession.

Good plan! Post it over in the feedback section once you've got some more.
For future, it may be worth having some examples up, even if you're showing an example you've seen elsewhere (as long as it's referenced). We will get a better idea of what you're asking for!

Oh damn. A new issue just came up. What if 10 messages come in? What if it's just 1? They need to have different feels. but this also means they'll need different classes. Wow. this is going to be a bitch. because the amount of items being chucked in effects the animation calculations. which means i'll have to manage <style> elements. discarding animation classes as they aren't needed anymore. ugh.... wow. new garbage alright. let's do this shit.
It's crazy how I have to add this wrapper element in order to get some of these animations to come out right. Throws a wrench in my archtiecture
anyway, yeah. i'm just off at the mouth now. back at it.
