- Griever 1y agoPersonally I don’t mind them and sometimes find them quite tasteful. Fortunately a lot respect ‘prefers-reduced-motion’ these days.
- armedin 1y agoThat's something I have on my backlog
- EvanAnderson 1y agoI agree with you so much. UI animations and needless "glitz" is inconsiderate of low-vision users, users who might have poor technical skills and who rely on UI consistency to accomplish tasks, users with low-spec hardware, users who are forced to use remote framebuffer protocols over low bandwidth connections, and of the environment (by way of increased processing power and electricity required).
- mycall 1y agoWhat if the "glitz" was optional and low-vision or low technical users could have a browser setting to de-glitz their UX? That way everyone wins.

- EvanAnderson 1y agoI wish this setting was better-resoected. On Windows PCs, at least. I do not find that Chrome or CrEdge behave significantly differently when my OS settings telegraph my desire for reduced motion.
- iamsaitam 1y agoWhy stop there? Just make everything static everywhere. /s
- lnenad 1y agoYeah. I don't know why people project their taste as the penultimate version of x. The trend is there because the majority of humans obviously enjoys moving pixels. If you don't you just need to accept it.
- armedin 1y agoExactly. Not everything has to match everyone's personal taste, and that's totally fine.
