I like the fact that it gives animated feedback to emphasize what is happening/being altered. Native components don't always do that very well. Animations are not just artsy fluff, they have real UX value (if done right, of course).
I don't know. At the point in which you have to reinforce visual context with animations, I feel like you've already failed at the part of UX that actually matters. Like there's already been a cascade of structural failure, and now you're trying to put bandaids over it.
Honestly same, I was less interested in the styling and just interested in the immediacy of response which is ironically missing in a lot of modern ui
The animations, in this case, are not helpful. They distract from what you're trying to do. And components that don't give feedback are bad. It's trivial to have different color palettes for over, click, release, etc.
I think the trick to using libraries like this is to not go all in on them. Applying these effects to every element would be garish.
But for a single like button, an effect slider, or magic search bar? It would be be a lovely touch.
