"...without jank."
Is this a technical term?
- bcoates 8y agoI think what they're describing is actually a glitch in the technical sense -- an untended output state caused by not being able to change all inputs exactly at the same time
- alangpierce 8y agoI think it's a reasonably common technical term in Android circles (possibly elsewhere) that means "non-smooth animations" or "skipped frames". https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/jank https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/jank
- Serow225 8y agoIt's a term of art in the graphics community, you'll see articles and talks by people like John Carmack on VR mentioning it quite a bit.
- jjcm 8y agoI've heard "jank" used almost always when referring to visual stutter caused by mass-style changes, both in my current role at Atlassian as well as Microsoft. I think it's pretty standard.
