Pulsing Cart Reminder π
A small UX interaction that could help increase e-commerce conversions.
When a shopper adds a product to their cart and continues browsing, the cart icon subtly pulses for a few seconds.
The idea is simple: keep the cart visible and remind shoppers that they already have an item waiting for them.
The Problem
Shoppers often add products to their cart and then continue browsing. As they explore more products, itβs easy to forget what theyβve already added.
The UX Solution
Introduce a soft pulsing animation around the cart icon immediately after an item is added.
It provides a visual reminder without interrupting the browsing experience.
Potential Benefits
π Keeps the cart top-of-mind
π Makes the added item easier to remember
π Encourages shoppers to revisit their cart
π― Creates a clear path toward checkout
β‘ Requires a relatively small UX change
Pro Tip π‘
Pair the pulse animation with a lightweight βAdded to Cartβ notification.
The combination provides immediate feedback while giving the shopper a subtle reminder to return to their cart.
Small interaction. Simple implementation. Potential CRO impact.
This is the kind of micro-interaction Iβd test through an A/B experiment before rolling it out site-wide.
Would you test this on your e-commerce store?

I was building ProjectPeek for the Framer Marketplace and had one problemβ¦
I had two completely different ideas for how the preview should behave.
One stays exactly where you put it π
The other follows your cursor π±οΈ
Both felt right. So instead of killing one, I made the component do both.
Thereβs now a simple toggle to switch between the two interaction modes β plus 20+ controls to play with everything from size and position to tilt, spring physics, glow, offsets, CTA, and more.
Now I need you to settle the argument:
Which peek feels better? π π Fixed Position π±οΈ Cursor Following And yesβ¦ Iβm still undecided. π
