Scroll the page to the right to see the breadcrumbs/stack accumulate on the right. I think this style of presentation greatly encourages the reader to jump to other sections of the website, without worrying about losing track of where they left off the previous page.
I would love to know more about how to implement this technique, and possibly see this implemented in websites like Wikipedia.
- busymom0 5y agoI think the idea is very cool however the UX of scrolling horizontally isn't easy when using a mouse. It might be okay if using a touch screen or a touchpad though. Maybe you can implement: 1. scrolling vertically at the bottom edge of the page translates it into a horizontal scroll instead? 2. Ability to use the left and right arrow to go to next page in the stack?
- kixiQu 5y agoThe latter makes total sense to me! I don't love vertical and horizontal scroll gestures being swapped, personally; feels jarring.
- busymom0 5y agoYea, I agree. I think the keyboard option is the best.
- cratermoon 5y agoHow about mousewheel? Would it be too unintuitive for shift-wheeldown to scroll right and shift-wheelup to scroll left?
- busymom0 5y agoI think that's too complex. Any frequently used gesture which involves both keyboard and mouse can get quite annoying.
- cratermoon 5y agoMy mousewheel doubles as a middle button, how about button-wheel scrolling?
- busymom0 5y agoMost people don’t have that ability in their mouse and even many people who do don’t know about it. UX should always be easily accessible and to as many people as possible.
