In my not humble at all opinion - user expectations sank to absolute lowest minimum.
Oh my, for example I never asked for smooth scrolling (I've actually disabled it in browser), instead someone insists on it and forces that on me with some javascript. Thanks, but no thanks.
I can't even have my own scrollbars from system theme most of the time (why even this?!).
What we have now is ultra slow interaction because of tons of JS. Constant cpu usage and battery drain. And most importantly boundless memory hogs such as oh so great interacting facebook that easily eats 2.5gigs of memory.
And don't get me started about "effects", animations, fades, stolen keyboard shortcuts, right clicks and every other bit that throws accessibility out of the window.
- compscistd 6y agoA lot of these gripes seem to be aimed at either poor imitations of well designed and implemented marketing pages or just straight up poor designs. From my experience as a front ender, I want to make the user experience as welcoming as possible instead of replacing native scrolling, stolen keyboard shortcuts, etc. It’s a designer that tries to impose their mock-up on browser defaults and only with front end pushback do we get a mediocre middle ground. There are certainly poor front-end led sites but I think that can go away quickly after some experience in the field. Design is largely shielded from that if they stay in the land of Sketch or Figma instead of interacting with the real web. This problem is as old as time: even in print, it takes experience and planning to visualize a digital composite as a physical object that lives up to your expectations.
