I love the mission statement, but this would be rejected 100% for the slow animation. Just absolutely no.
UX is hard! you can put a TON of well-intentioned work into a feature and miss the mark completely. That might even be the norm.
Wonder if he's read older authors like Jef Raskin and Jakob Neilsen. Even Tufte. This feels like a reversion to the Flash era.
That said, as a portfolio piece, I'd lean towards a hire. The willingness to question basic assumptions (or default UI) is really nice to see
- astrange 4y agoMost of the replies here are the people who need to read Jef Raskin - they're convinced it's "faster" to not have animations, like people think it's "faster" to type emacs key combos instead of using a mouse, when it turns out it's not faster and people are just poor at counting subjective time.
