Building a Magical 3D Button

I had a neat realization recently: Buttons are the “killer feature” of the web.

Every significant thing we do online, from ordering food to scheduling an appointment to playing a video, involves pressing a button. Buttons (and the forms they submit) make the web dynamic and interactive and powerful.

But so many of those buttons are lackluster. They can trigger enormous changes in the real world, but they don't feel tangible at all. The feel like dull everyday pixels.
