Like & Upvote
Design a like/upvote control for a content feed item. Pick a clear interaction pattern: icon only, icon plus count, or a compact vote stack. Show the default state, the active state, and what happens when the user taps it again if the action can be undone.
Make the feedback immediate. The icon, label, and count should change in a way the user can read at a glance. If you use motion, keep it short and subtle; the state change still needs to work without animation.
Place the control where it can be reached without interrupting the feed. It should hold up in tight layouts, on touch screens, and with keyboard focus. If there are separate like and upvote behaviors, make the difference obvious in the visual treatment and wording.
What to deliver
- Design the default like/upvote control.
- Design the active state after a tap or click.
- Design hover, focus, and pressed states.
- Design the count update treatment.
- Design the undo/unlike state if the action is reversible.
Humanize the experience! Add a touch of whimsy or delight with an animation that reacts when the like or upvote is given.
