Make Goofy Features

I have zero authority here, I just enjoy finding and creating these features and want to see more of them 😄

Potential Benefits:

• Personality
• Friendly (hopefully!)
• Memorable
• Can even be a reason to share your site/app/etc.
• Learn new things when building the feature

Tradeoffs:

• Time
• Requires creativity
• Could be distracting or take away from the main purpose of your site/app/etc

Examples:

• Suble animations
• Not-so-sublte-animations
• Micro interactions
• Scroll triggers (but not scroll hijacking!)
• Confetti cannons
