"Just like Apple.. ..Guide the user’s eyes to where their action had an effect.." — in Mobile Safari, when you open links in new tab, there's an animation like throwing something (I don't know what's that, too fast) to the bottom of the screen. I initially thought, "Shit, I pressed wrong button, I don't mean to _download_ it" but then I found out that it's just gesture to show that it's opening in new tab. I never get used to it though, every time it happens, for a split-second I thought I accidentally download the page.
- JKCalhoun 8y agoOther animations in the article (changing color on touchDown) are far less distracting ... certainly should not cause motion sickness (to address another point in the comments).
- heartbreak 8y agoThis is pedantic, but technically that animation is for opening a link in the background ("Open in Background"). The animation for opening a link in a new tab ("Open in New Tab") is quite a bit different. Background vs New Tab is a setting in Mobile Safari's preferences. New Tab is the default, so most people have probably never seen the animation you're referring to.
