-# 2026-01-07-ux-enhancements-animations.md: UX Enhancements & Micro-Interactions
-
-**Status:** Draft
-**Created:** 2026-01-07
-**Tags:** ux, animation, interactivity, frontend
-
-## 1. Context & User Story
-* **As a:** User interacting with the dashboard
-* **I want to:** See smooth transitions and immediate feedback when interacting with elements
-* **So that:** The application feels responsive, "alive," and high-quality.
-
-## 2. Technical Requirements
-### Data Model Changes
-- N/A
-
-### API / Interface
-- N/A
-
-## 3. Constraints & Validations (CRITICAL)
-- **Performance:** Animations must use `transform` and `opacity` properties to ensure 60fps performance without triggering expensive layout reflows.
-- **Accessibility:** Respect `prefers-reduced-motion` media queries to disable animations for sensitive users.
-- **Subtlety:** Animations should be fast and subtle (e.g., 150ms-300ms), not distracting.
-
-## 4. Acceptance Criteria
-1. [ ] Content fades in smoothly when the page loads.
-2. [ ] Interactive elements (buttons, links, cards) have hover effects (scale, lift, or glow) that provide visual feedback.
-3. [ ] A subtle, dynamic background effect (e.g., slow gradient mesh or blur) is implemented to remove the "flat" look.
-4. [ ] Loading states (skeletons or spinners) are available for future dynamic content.
-
-## 5. Implementation Plan
-- [ ] Add keyframe animations for entry transitions (fade-in, slide-up) in `style.css`.
-- [ ] Apply hover transitions to `.card` and navigation links.
-- [ ] Implement a subtle background gradient using `background-image` or pseudo-elements.
-- [ ] Add `prefers-reduced-motion` overrides.
