Follow card
A profile card: picture or initials, name with a verified check, handle, a follower count that counts up, a line of bio and a Follow button a cursor presses.
Notification
A phone or desktop notification slides in: the app's icon and name, the time, a bold title and the message.
Notification stack
Notifications land one after another and stack up, each new one pushing the pile down.
Chat thread
A message thread plays out: their bubbles arrive after a typing indicator, yours on the right in the accent.
Social post
A post card: picture or initials, name, handle and check, the words, and likes, reposts and replies counting up as a heart pops.
Now playing
A music card: the cover (or a generated one), the title and artist, a progress bar moving with the clip and an equaliser.
