How often do people really jump to an arbitrary page? I'd say filtering / searching capabilities are far more important for users than paging.

- _nothing 6y agoIt depends? If I'm looking for a new desk on IKEA's online catalog then I care more about filtering/searching, but if I'm reading through a conversation on a forum and want to be able to link to certain sections then I want that paginated.
- tshaddox 6y agoBut even for the latter case, surely you're not specifically interested in a specific page called "page 50" but rather you're interested in items satisfying some predicate (like "posts from 2 weeks ago") or locations respective to the entire list (like "halfway through the list"), and it would be much better if the user interface supported those sorts of navigation.
