In 2016, a trendy way to enhance user experience is by implementing microinteractions. You can read more about them here and there, but briefly, microinteractions are tiny engaging moments built into your application.

They offer a vivid way to provide feedback to your users, improve customer satisfaction and increase retention.

Here’s a look at a few examples, compliments that could ease transitions between states within your app:

- It’s nice to see such kindness (confirmation after registrations / a donation / hitting the “Recommend” button).

- I hope we’ll know each other for a long time (after a registration).

- You’re great at being creative (after posting something on Behance or Medium).

- I bet if Britney Spears knew you, 2008 would have gone differently.

- You’re empowering (in an app using artificial intelligence).

- Your passion is contagious (after a push to Github or an upload to Dropbox).

- You inspire me to be a better person (AI again).

- You’re so understanding (after muting an app).

- You have great taste in _______ (within a fashion app context).

- You’re so fun to talk to (for a chatbot).

- I bet you are amazing at chess.
