Humanized Weblog: No More More Pages?
- aasarava 18y agoVery, very interesting. Though it does have the drawback of not allowing any bottom-of-page content (Ads / About / ToS / Contact links, etc.) It also brings up the question of how much data you can fit into one browser window. (Anyone know?) Still, slick idea. And definitely nice to see someone taking a different approach -- those Google page numbers really are pointless.
- gojomo 18y agoMaybe I'll get used to it, but so far I find apps that change the scale/range of the vertical-scrollbar while I'm scrolling (like this Humanized Reader and Google Reader) annoying and a little disorienting.
- omouse 18y agoWhat if there were no vertical bar? What if there were an up and down arrow that would appear only if there was more to see in that direction? I agree though, it is disorienting.
- gojomo 18y agoJust arrows is often seen in custom Flash scrolling UIs. I find it even more annoying. Some you have to click repeatedly, others you hold down (and the rate-of-scroll is always too slow or too fast), they vary in positioning and appearance. Standard, predictable scrollbars are good.
- mechanical_fish 18y agoThis blog entry, by the way, is very annoying. It outlines the problem and then stops dead. "We'll debut the answer this week!". But no description of the answer. The irony of a page that complains about "More..." links but leaves you wanting more was not lost on me. So I clicked on the link marked "the answer" and I got... a page that neither discussed the problem nor demonstrated the answer. I came this close to just clicking away forever, in complete annoyance... but I finally decided to click the link to Humanized, where I found the feature in question. I agree that it's kind of disorienting, but I might get used to it. It's an interesting idea that's worth trying out.
