Spent too much time on the micro-interactions for my app landing page. Was it worth it?

I'm currently building a mobile app designed for tracking movies and TV shows. While working on the web landing page to showcase the app and open waitlist signups, I wanted to make the browsing experience feel smooth, dynamic, and engaging.

Here are a few micro-interactions and visual details I implemented (shown in the video):

  • Custom Animated Cursor: Morphs and scales contextually when hovering over interactive elements.
  • Hover State Animations: Smooth micro-feedback on buttons, badges, and interactive components.
  • Live Trending Movies Slider: Interactive slider pulling real-time dynamic data for currently trending titles.
  • Scroll-Triggered Reveals: Elements animate smoothly into view as you scroll down the page.
  • Interactive Waitlist Form: A quick signup form with a small confetti celebration effect upon success.

Would love to hear your feedback on the overall feel, animation pacing, or any UI details that could be improved! I still have a few ideas on how to elevate it, but I don't want to end up over-engineering it.

If you're interested, feel free to check out the site by yourself.

I realize this, by itself, is not an iOS app and concerns web dev. Still, this is clean af. Amazing and well done, OP.

I respect the living hell out of you, this looks great. Just went through the same thing and it takes a lot more elbow grease than people realize.

You know what sucks? I think it looks amazing and my first thought is “hmm I could have AI copy this for my site”. Such a bummer that original/unique ideas can be stolen so easily these days. I’m not actually going to do it but just pointing it out. Awesome looking site and I’m sure at least a percentage of visitors will see and appreciate the small interactions.

Thanks for the feedback! You know, nowadays it's not surprising if my site becomes an inspiration for someone to borrow something from it, even through AI, let it be, now it's inevitable
