if you want to be even more frustrated by this, try scrolling by clicking and dragging the scrollbar on the side of the window. note that it's buttery smooth.
so it's almost certainly caused by JS scroll event handling, since the iTunes store on OS X is just a big webview.
- dilap 11y agobetter, but still not buttery smooth for me. it's frickin' insane. it's a page of static pictures. it should hit 60fps easily. no one cares about quality software.
- mh- 11y agoI'm in complete agreement. It's incredible how much the 'smoothness' of user experience has regressed, on average, across the board. Seeing that kind of unnecessary jank totally drives me up the wall. Generally, i try not to think about it too much.. because it often feels like I'm part of a tiny minority that thinks this is an absurd state of things. Slack is a perfect example. I love Slack and use it very heavily. But it's maddening how laggy their "app" (which is just their web interface in a wrapper) often feels. Users should not be frequently experiencing keyboard lag in a chat app!
