The most frustrating thing to get right via CSS only are the micro animations. Because I cannot do them using any files, I have to kinda faux-replace them via CSS by using pseudos, base64 and hacks and animating those. Also because the element size will change depending whether it has a number or not, it's difficult to keep it in place.

This is why I have disabled the boost animation for now. The heart and star animations are staying in place, because they either have less numbers on instances that have numbers or no number at all.

@rolle Maybe the way to go is to open a PR upstream with some nice animations?

@rolle Thank you so much for the fast help today! Looks great! #BirdUI

@renchap Yes, this can be done properly to core via SVG animations. I have been hesitant to do it, because my heart and retweet animations are blatant Twitter ripoffs.

Also, should find a way to do it so that I don't need to double-do the work to the UI of my own.

Might as well do some draft during my holiday... added a task to my personal backlog.

@rolle Ideally you get @Gargron to approve them before hand so you know this can get in before you start working, but I know that small touches to the UI are often very appreciated
