Summary

A delightful file deletion microinteraction where users must flick a crumpled file into a trash bin, complete with miss tracking and a toast confirmation on success.

Visual description

A white dialog on light gray background prompts the user to delete a file by flicking a crumpled file into a trash bin, with the bin illustrated in the center and the file thumbnail displayed below it. Typography guides users in plain language: the heading asks 'Delete this file?' and instructions read 'Crumple Mockup_V2.png and toss it into the bin.' A miss counter in the lower right tracks failed throws as clear feedback.

Key takeaway

Transform a destructive action into a playful gesture by replacing traditional confirm/cancel buttons with interactive drag-and-drop mechanics that reward engagement and track failures as a light game element.

Reuse notes

Reach for this as a motion still reference. Pairs with minimal, playful directions. Original by Nils.
