Content aside, the usability of this layout needs some work. Its very "page-focused" with each image having a small bit of overlaid text content, but the breaks between pages are impossible to tell because the actual content only scrolls a tiny vertical amount and then suddenly changes pages before fading in the next bit of text. Using page up/down jumps to random spots instead of to a natural break with the next page/text centered. It takes more then one entire scroll on my mouse to move less than one page and I found myself furiously scrolling the wheel just to move through the article at an appropriate reading pace.
NYT does these kind of scrolling picture stories but at least in those its long-form content interspersed with images and it scrolls at a "normal" pace for most of the article.
- Markoff 8y agoyeah, the images were loading for me when i almost scrolled then out of screen on mobile, never experienced such late loading with other pages
- eafkuor 8y ago> Content aside, the usability of this layout Come on, do we really need this comment on every post? Especially this one?
- danso 8y agoI actually expected more of those type of comments. It is a "heavy" kind of interactive experience, and I'm generally not a fan of them, especially the throttling of the mouse scroll, but this is one of the few cases (and maybe the only one I can think of not done by the NYT) in which the extra animation and load times enhanced the storytelling and visual effect.
