Paging is an implementation detail that's forced on users, like flipping the cassette to side B. It's really great for reading a stream of content without having to think about previous or next, especially when referencing items that would otherwise be on a previous page. DuckDuckGo is a good example.
That said, it's also abused a lot...
- cyphar 11y agoAnyone who has encountered a book is familiar with the concept of pages. I doubt that people would prefer their books printed on a single strip of paper. Why do the same for websites. Not to mention that bookmarks are broken in both scenarios (single sheet books and infinite scrolling webpages).
