How do you define a delightful interaction? When do you know an interface is reacting too quickly? What separates average designs from those that create habits in users? The answers are included in this free ebook.

Interaction Design Best Practices: Time & Behavior boils down complex IxD theory into practical and digestible advice. The book explains the importance of theories like salience, anchoring, and framing, but teaches with live examples gathered from around the web.

The six chapters include:

  • Topics such as minimizing friction, optimizing interface feedback, creating magic through animation, and more.
  • Analysis of visual examples from 20+ well-known companies such as AirBnB, Netflix, and Mailchimp
  • Thorough yet concise approach that explains only the most actionable topics
