I'm hoping this will be the death of that hideous OnSwipe Wordpress theme which tries to make a perfectly functional smooth-scrolling website and turn it into a faux iPad app with jerky, glitchy scrolling and none of the usual site navigation. On top of that, the "View as standard site" link doesn't work 90% of the time.
- ugh 15y agoOh, that theme is so awful. Besides the horrible scrolling it is also very buggy for me, especially after rotating the device. Who had that idea? Browsing websites on the iPad works great. There is no need whatsoever to turn a standard website (like a Wordpress blog) into a web app. That’s just stupid. This should be used for web apps, not for websites.
- 8ig8 15y agoAgreed. Every time I land on an OnSwipe-themed page, I immediately hit my Readability bookmarklet. Sometimes I don't bother and just hit the back button. I often get frustrated with web pages that are modified/altered to work with the iPad. OnSwipe annoys me the most. I also find it frustrating when a mobile content width is defined which takes away my ability to zoom.
