#7 Primer — Displaying Progress Circle inside a Floating Action Button
Between the criticism of FABs causing terrible UX and not displaying enough information to the user, to the argument against of why they’re important — Primer has a subtle way of letting marketers know where they’re located in a lesson by adding one little detail to the FAB.
This is interesting since, it’s an app that adheres to the guidelines well, uses kick-ass animations but also is capable of elevating the experience to the next level.
I’ve had troubles to display progress on a card with a FAB. Especially if it was a video artifact. The Progress would conflict with the FAB itself. Instead, a better implementation seems to be Primer’s approach.
It maintains the state wonderfully and transitions to the meter progress in the details activity.
What are few other creative implementations of the FAB you’ve seen in apps?
