A new use for the scroll bar
- matthaeus 15y ago(seems to be working in Chrome and FF)
- geuis 15y agoInteresting concept! It would be really useful with this design to be able to click on a label and have the page jump to that section. Simple #hash and anchor should do it.
- thristian 15y agoFor those as confused as I was, it turns out you have to grab the scroll bar and move it until one of the (initially invisible) bookmarks is highlighted on the right. (Firefox 7, Linux)
- angryasian 15y agoare those of you who can't see anything have any type of twitter widget block. I tried in incognito mode and worked. Anyways sort of cool, but i've seen similar implementations of the same idea.
- irrumator 15y agoThis is probably it, I block all social widgets, addthis, share me, and advertising in my hosts file.
- irrumator 15y agoWhat scroll bar? (Chromium 12, Linux)
- artursapek 15y agoTHE scroll bar
- dekz 15y agoWhat scrollbar? (Chromium 12, OSX Lion)
- artursapek 15y agoI've never used Chromium, but you don't get the browser's vertical scrollbar on the right side of the screen? I have it in Chrome on Windows. Moving it shows various categories right beside it and lining it up with them changes the content in the middle.
- matthaeus 15y agoYeah this is no good for Lion users (assuming that Lion hides ALL scrollbars automatically, right?)
- dekz 15y agoIt seems even turning the option to 'Show Always' still doesn't show them. http://d.pr/jMYZ http://d.pr/jMYZ
- Cushman 15y agoI have one in Chrome 13 on Lion. What happens if you scroll?
- natesm 15y agoThis is what I see: http://i.imgur.com/EeMg7.png http://i.imgur.com/EeMg7.png
- Garbage 15y agoWhat scroll bar? (Firefox 5.0, Windows XP SP3)
- Marwy 15y agoIt works on Opera 11.50, Linux. I'm surprised!
- artursapek 15y agoGreat idea and well made, but it frustrated me that I couldn't do anything with the tweets.
- geuis 15y agoI don't think its meant to use the tweets for anything other than content for the demo.
- rkwz 15y agoWhat is this I don't even
- Splines 15y agoFYI, this thing needs to talk to twitter, so if you have disconnect.me or something similar installed, you need to allow it to communicate with twitter before you see anything. Otherwise you get a nice off-white box in the middle of the screen, and not much else.
- matthaeus 15y agoYes it grabs trending tweets from the Twitter Search API as content for the demo. If that fails for some reason, then nothing happens (obviously something that I'll need to fix next).
- jesseendahl 15y agoThis doesn't appear to work in Google Chrome in OS X Lion at all (version 13.0.782.112), although it does work in Safari.

- plainOldText 15y agoI didn't know what to except when I clicked on this post. But as soon as I landed on the page I started scrolling up&down, left&right; eventually "the thing" showed itself to me. The concept is neat; i must say.
- zemaj 15y agoUI would be a bit friendlier if; 1) The changes were more responsive. The delay is too long when scrolling and hovering over an element - should be around 100ms or so. If it takes time to load the content, show some visual signal (loading... or similar) that state has changed. 2) You could mouse over and click on each of the items.
- highriseo 15y agoIt seems that the API that this is using has been rate limited.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoChrome, Linux: 14.0.835.35 dev. I don't see any scrollbar. Scrolling with the mouse does nothing. Got it working in Firefox, or at least I think I did. This is kinda awful, and I do mean that with respect. I'd much rather mouse over the labels on the right and have the message pop up instantly. The delay and amount I have to scroll makes this awkward. I thought it was broken still until I gave up and the message popped in.
- bunchesofdonald 15y agoNeat idea for an interface, but as others have pointed out the demo needs some work.
