Tips #11

It'd be nice to give larger rewards to users than a single upvote.

I've been agonizing a bit over the UX of this. Incorporating another button is not cool. I hate having too many interaction points.

I think what I'll do is overload the upvote button. First click is upvote -> lightning upvote turns orange and tip of lightning bolt turns from an arrow to a plus sign -> subsequent clicks pop up a modal and users can allocate funds to tipping or boosting.

I'd like to also have another lightning/bitcoin animation for tipping as a visual reward for generosity. Maybe some kind of aurora type effect. Not sure yet.

Someone's already open source an aurora effect https://github.com/Btsan/Aurora-Effect which is awesome

Boost could get a different animation. Maybe a tiny rocket winding from the bottom of the screen to the top. Might be too cheesy actually but I like cheese personally.

personally id be a bit more subtle with it. I like the medium claps, where you do a long press for more claps, and the colour of the button and rate of the animation gets more intense.

Very tasteful, thanks! I like the hold interaction a lot.
