Description

Having some animations could make the app feels more alive and fn to use.

Things like:

  • buttons visually getting smaller and "popping" after being pressed
  • The result sliding into the "main" row
  • cursor blinking

If you plan on adding animations:
maybe add a menu option to disable them, or even better have a range slider to choose the speed of the animation: going from 0 (none) -------- 500ms, with incremental steps (100, 250, 330)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement button press and result sliding animations using Android's ViewPropertyAnimator. Add a settings option to control animation speed via a SeekBar. Consider using SharedPreferences to persist the speed setting.
