I'll try to round up some comments later tonight.
I have visual-motion sensitivity, and plan to write some articles on some of the problems with recent animation trends. I'm also planning on creating browser extensions that disable CSS animations and other spammy problems with UI design.
It's really difficult for me to use Google's new designs. I switched to Thunderbird/Lightning until I can find a Google Calendar replacement. I removed most apps from my phone and turned off most notifications, because it's too stressful to use it. There needs to be a low-animation setting.
Designers should be asking themselves, "how do I make this UI functionality clear with the absolute minimum of animation?"
- dman 9y agoDesigners also need to ask what is the economic price of disrupting existing user expectations.
- milas 9y agoAt least on Android you can disable most animation in the Developer Settings app. I'm guessing how much that affects individual apps varies wildly, however.
- crtasm 9y agoI set three options for animation to 0/disabled in there. Phone felt much faster but it took me a couple weeks to realise why Blackberry's swishy "you're plugged in, want to fast charge? or transfer data?" semicircle popup was no longer appearing. No way to transfer data without reenabling one of the options.
