After reading the comments and taking everyone's input, here are a couple of points:
* infinite scrolling turns webpages into web apps yet not everyone likes or expects web apps;
* infinite scrolling fails to tell people when they reached the end and this is frustrating;
* infinite scrolling fails to tell people how far along they have consumed the content, or how far back is the top bar;
* infinite scrolling breaks the basics of UI tools (no scrollbar, no end key, no home key)
* infinite scrolling should never be other than a gesture for more (scroll for more)
* infinite scrolling should still allow for going "back" e.g. either it scrolls back up and/or allows for going back to the beginning.
* infinite scrolling should have an "end" e.g. a bar at the bottom that phases away when scrolling further down and then appears at the next end.
* infinite scrolling is a bad habit for more, and may be should be discouraged e.g. electrocute the user every time he asks for more /s
I hope you agree.
- Schroedingersat 4y agoThere's also the bit where you put important contact, privacy, or similar information below the infinite scrolling element so it's only reachable via debug tools or turning the internet off (the latter doesn't always work because it often results in an 'oopsie wooopsie somefing went wong' error popup).
