Scroll-Driven Animations
- tomkaos 2y agoNot really useful when it's not support on most recent Firefox version.
- ewalk153 2y agoIf Firefox does release support, it shouldn’t be long before adoption is widespread: > Since Mozilla throttles the rollout of a new version (incrementally upgrading the percentage of the population getting upgrades), it takes about four weeks for about 70% of clients to upgrade before stabilizing. https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity
- DoctorOW 2y agoUnrelated but from that link "But why profiles? Why not just measure new user rate? Because we don't track users." is a weird thing to write after showing Monthly Active Users.
- dylan604 2y agoThe number of devs that see something isn't supported on FF and do something other than shrug their shoulders is probably me and one other person on the internet. Maybe. It could just be me. I don't think that moves the needle much on if people care it doesn't work in FF.
- tshaddox 2y ago> The number of devs that see something isn't supported on FF and do something other than shrug their shoulders is probably me and one other person on the internet. Maybe. It could just be me. The number is likely extremely close to the number of Firefox users.
- dylan604 2y agoAnd yet you missed the self-deprecating humor in acknowledging FF users is such a small number, it's me and one other person. Did you think that was a literal number I believed to be true?
- mden 2y agoMy (personally) humorous interpretation was that they were extending your joke by implying the only users using FF are devs and they are the ones that care.
- layer8 2y agoDepends on the region. In Germany for example, Firefox has higher market share (around 10%) than Edge or Samsung Internet.
- phoronixrly 2y agoSounds like a total win for Firefox! Hope it stays this way. Use Firefox! It does not support sites that make you physically ill when you scroll them!
- incognito124 2y agoGenuine question: do people like having their websites move around while scrolling? Just show me the text
- calebio 2y agoWhen I'm reading? No. I don't want a unique experience to consume your text context. There are some websites where this is done and it's really cool, but I'm not there to read text on those websites.
- pinoy420 2y agoI think there are people who like the aesthetic. I don’t think many put thought to whether they objectively like the concept of it. Given the choice of a page with information readily available or a page where you have to scroll and it does whacky animations to present the information.. I don’t think many would choose that.
- dylan604 2y agoI'm really not a fan of the image sequence that loads in the background and the scrolling of the page is hijacked to move between the "animation" scrolling the image sequence. If anything, that should be a left/right scroll when the element is active or at least on element:hover. Stopping the expected page scroll to now start "animating" this media element until the end which then releases the scrolling back into the expected behavior is clearly designed by sociopaths and sadists.
- miohtama 2y agoBurn it with fire
- ericyd 2y agoI hate it. Easily my least favorite kind of interactive content.
- MattPalmer1086 2y agoI actually find it a bit nauseating.
- lelandfe 2y agoSuper neat. Worth noting that some of these, e.g. Reverse-Scrolling Columns and Horizontal Scroll Section, kill the ability to use the macOS trackpad to swipe through history on Chrome.
- dylan604 2y agoIf I'm scrolling up/down and the page is reacting by scrolling left/right, I want to throw my mouse at the screen. Maybe it makes sense if all you have is a scroll wheel, but I haven't had one of those in over a decade.
- triyambakam 2y agoI just experienced this from the demos.
- Diti 2y agoThis is the very first website I have ever stumbled upon that made me physically ill (nausea) from the motion. WOW.
- Levitz 2y agoSame, it's impressive in a way, but I loathe this.
- oulipo 2y agoThe best ones are in the NYtimes long form articles, it would be cool for them to open-source their framework
- ergonaught 2y agoPeople who read don’t want this garbage. If your content must be read, don’t use this garbage.
- throwaway422432 2y agoWhich is why it is great that Governments are adopting design systems that discourage anything that is superfluous to the content people are looking for. There is a very high emphasis on accessibility and consistency because it makes sense. https://designsystem.digital.gov/ https://designsystem.digital.gov/ https://design-system.service.gov.uk/ https://design-system.service.gov.uk/
- neilv 2y agoThere might be some good uses for these effects, but IMHO this particular Web page is an argument against them.
- DoctorOW 2y agoThis effect is a particular favorite of Apple: https://www.apple.com/ipad-pro/ https://www.apple.com/ipad-pro/
- qingcharles 2y agoI hate these, but Apple does make some of the nicest, least-offensive examples.
- kryptonomist 2y agoTo be honest, I find it sometimes pleasing, like when introducing some new programming libs: https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/swiftui-concepts/exploring-the-structure-of-a-swiftui-app https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/swiftui-concepts/explo...
- namuol 2y agoThe neon signage of our time
- jonahx 2y agoNeon signs have more charm.
- jdjdjdjdjd 2y agoI can't stand websites that do this kind of thing. Just distracting and adds nothing.
- lapcat 2y ago[self-promotion] My paid browser extension for Mac and iOS has a "Stop animations" feature if this kind of stuff drives you mad: https://apps.apple.com/app/stopthemadness-pro/id6471380298 https://apps.apple.com/app/stopthemadness-pro/id6471380298

- emmanueloga_ 2y agoI feel like people are being overly critical of this work. When used sparingly, scrolling effects can add charm to marketing pages and portfolios, and I've seen some great uses on so called "explorable explanations" and other long form articles. The main objective seems to be advocacy/evangelism on new browser animation APIs, which I welcome [1]. ... I agree that the top mouse animation is, errr... a bit ugly, though :-). -- 1: https://scroll-driven-animations.style/#links https://scroll-driven-animations.style/#links
- layer8 2y agoThe issue people have is that those effects draw attention to themselves (be it “charm” or dismay) and away from the actual content.
- zzzbra 2y agoWhen did we stop referring to this as Parallax Effects
- fogleman 2y agoA mouse zooming into your face isn't parallax
- jojobas 2y agoGod I hate it.
- vivzkestrel 2y agoThe way the article is titled, I was expecting a virtual list or virtual scroll. Now that would be one of the most useful things to talk about. How to virtual scroll 10000 items with different heights. 1) When user can provide heights and 2) when everything has to be rendered on the fly
- Brajeshwar 2y agoAlmost all the scroll-driven animations add no particular value. However, when it does, it does, just like every successful website, go back to being a tad boring and to the point, with precise information and bringing the Bottom Line Up Front. When SVG animation was beginning to be widely supported by modern browsers (about 10+ years ago), a friend did a CSS-enabled SVG animation for a company’s website that explained “How it works” as the user scrolls the website. It worked, and the most asked question of “how it works” support ticket drops, thus increasing conversion and trust. The website was for a hardware company in California that serves B2B customers with MIPS-based networks, video and security processors, etc.
- dreamcompiler 2y agoI hate these things but they're not made for you and me. They're made for some VP who pays the developer's salary. Most VPs think the point of their website is to impress rather than to inform. I'm only impressed by websites that do inform, but I'm rarely the person who writes a check to the company with the impressive website. That person is ... another VP.
- ubertaco 2y agoBasically the modern <blink> or <marquee> tag.
- reportgunner 2y agoI'm happy to see that only one of those animations work in the browser I used.
- Imustaskforhelp 2y agoI actually really like the scroll bar at the top , I also like the general style of your website. https://scroll-driven-animations.style/demos/progress-bar/css/ https://scroll-driven-animations.style/demos/progress-bar/cs... I was going to ask you to provide source code but it turns that its hand crafted css / js / html so I am probably going to create a hugo plugin and transform into this (though I would really really like it if somebody could write a dark mode , though I just tried dark reader and its also really nice , feels like magic , but I am going to create a dark button on the top , and change the width of red and maybe the color as well and it could be so cool. Thanks a lot man A lot of people are saying , why do you need this , I wouldn't over use it on every page , but I like this , I genuinely do though I also prefer simplicity. I think that a guy should have two parts of a guide while still adhering to the same guide , maybe have the frontpage a little bit more scroll driven animations , heck three js if you want , but it shouldn't be on my face kind of animations But keep the inner documentation smooth and simple , pure static html
- Imustaskforhelp 2y agoThis shows a jitter of dead pixels , which isn't shown if its full screen on chromium https://scroll-driven-animations.style/demos/cover-to-fixed-header/css/ https://scroll-driven-animations.style/demos/cover-to-fixed-... https://ibb.co/qFy7YnTF https://ibb.co/qFy7YnTF
- trallnag 2y agoI don't really like it on "normal" websites, but for art projects it's great. For example, I recently came across https://www.aquarium.ru https://www.aquarium.ru, a page dedicated to Aquarium, a Russian band
