Animation sequence associated with feedback user-interface element

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

• send, to be displayed on a screen of a computing device of a user of a social-networking system, a social-network content item that corresponds to a user interface (UI) that includes one or more social-network content sections having one or more social-network content items;
• send, to be displayed on the screen of the computing device, a feedback UI element associated with the social-network content item, the feedback UI element to indicate user feedback with respect to the social-network content item;
• and
• send, to be displayed on the screen of the computing device in response to a user interaction with the feedback UI element, an animation sequence involving the feedback UI element, the animation sequence visually simulating that the feedback UI element recedes backwards on the screen while decreasing in size from an original size to a minimum size, and then visually simulating that the feedback UI element advances forward on the screen while increasing in size from the minimum size to a largest size, and then visually simulating that the feedback UI element decreases in size from the largest size to the original size.

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to:
• send, to be displayed on a screen of a computing device of a user of a social-networking system, a social-network content item that corresponds to a user interface (UI) that includes one or more social-network content sections having one or more social-network content items;
• send, to be displayed on the screen of the computing device, a feedback UI element associated with the social-network content item, the feedback UI element to indicate user feedback with respect to the social-network content item;
• and
• send, to be displayed on the screen of the computing device in response to a user interaction with the feedback UI element, an animation sequence involving the feedback UI element, the animation sequence visually simulating that the feedback UI element recedes backwards on the screen while decreasing in size from an original size to a minimum size, and then visually simulating that the feedback UI element advances forward on the screen while increasing in size from the minimum size to a maximum size, and then visually simulating that the feedback UI element decreases in size from the maximum size to the original size.
