0030, my wife: “It’s been two weeks now, why aren’t you getting better? You should see a doctor.”

1058, GP’s nurse: “Yeah, it sounds like you need to come in for an appointment.”

1355, GP: “I’m sending you to hospital for a chest x-ray and blood tests.”

1440, radiographer: “Never mind the blood tests, you should go to the emergency department now.”

1825, ED doctor: “You have double pneumonia. We’re going to keep you here overnight.”

Well that escalated quickly.

“Dad you said there was going to be a funny part! You lied to me!”

I guess the 5yo is not yet old enough to appreciate the Muppet Show.

@marioguzman@mastodon.social @mwichary@mastodon.online If you need to custom-replicate it anyway, you could dial up the duration and/or distance, or dial down the damping. Like you’re sitting on a seesaw and someone just jumped on the other end.

@marioguzman@mastodon.social @mwichary@mastodon.online A more appropriate animation could be for the window to briefly bounce towards the user (bigger and with deeper shadow) and back again.

More appropriate because this animation is already used for a very similar situation: if you use the Open File dialog to open a document that’s already open. Try it in TextEdit, Pages, Numbers, Acorn, Bike, OmniGraffle, etc.
