UX, maybe. UI? No, not even remotely in the conversation.
The commenter is complaining that the back button took too long and the creator responded to indicate it's a load issue. At no point is that in the realm of design, which is what my comment was about.
- tobr 4y agoPerformance is part of design in software, much like how button feel is part of industrial design, or fabric qualities are part of fashion design. But I also see what you mean, you were talking about visual design.
- Klonoar 4y agoThank you for somehow being the only person in this complaint thread to grasp that, lol
- clord 4y agoLoading and performance behind loading states are UI concerns, especially on a big distributed system like the modern web. Perhaps you allow native browser elements to provide that UI, perhaps customize it somehow, but a UI designer must consider how the page fills as data arrives. Do you do the ‘spinner hell’ thing? Keep it blank? FOUC? Show cache and update? These are primary UI concerns.
- eterm 4y agoThat load even affects the back button is very much part of the User Experience (UX) and immediately broke the illusion of being back in 1998.
