I've seen this disappear from the web so much that it's jarring to encounter nowadays. It was never, ever good UX.

- Kaiyou 7y agoIt is an excellent feature in certain contexts, for example image galleries. In other contexts, however, it's horrible.
- mkl 7y agoIt's terrible for image galleries too, as the images stay in RAM and the memory usage can quickly become insane. Animated GIF galleries are especially bad for this.
- vimslayer 7y agoDepends on implementation, you could remove the images from DOM when the user has scrolled passed them, and many libraries for inifinite scroll do exactly that.
- Kaiyou 7y agoI mean an image gallery of thumbnails, that lead to the real image. Like you search for a wallpaper with key words and then scroll to infinity and open the interesting ones in a new tab.
- brlewis 7y agoTwitter still does it, but their implementation is not terrible.
- WillPostForFood 7y agoTwitter is horrible - scroll down a few pages, click something interesting, hit back, and you’ve lost position, and have to reload and rescroll through everything again. Even worse because some clicks will open a modal that you can close and save position, but other clicks will reload the page.
- buboard 7y agoIt s horrible. I constantly lose posts because of zooming in, open in new tabs, misclick etc. And its made even worse by the fact that the whole feed will change if i hit reload I wish i could turn it off like tumblr
- mkl 7y agoReally? I'm seeing it more and more.
