Recently I worked on one of my apps update and I wanted to create a fun "welcome" for new users.

So I made an animated splash screen (looks good to me, it's simple and effective) but I felt like going directly to a login screen was harsh (yep, it's a WebView login since the app interacts with Google via web, they have no public API for the features I wanted to use).

I know many of the causal users may not feel like "yeah let's do it!" and I totally agree with that, so I wanted to offer a limited minimal use of the app even if you do not login (which the real app is completely useless, since the app is not capable of managing anything if the user is not logged in).

So declining the login (bottom button) I wanted the users to still be able to do very basic things (just one honestly): click on an icon (of well known app list which have a beta program) to launch the testing webpage and let the user do things.

The problem I found was the "how". I wanted to balance the ineffective part with a barely wow effect, so I spent 4 days making a custom view and this is the result.

Would anyone mind giving me feedback about it?

PS: this update is not released yet.
