it's actually intuitive because it mimics a real life physical dragging of an object by a rope, which most people have a feel for. Skeuomorphism can be quite intuitive imho.
- justlikereddit 1y agoTry drawing your signature with it and see how intuitive it feels.

- heeton 1y agoIt’s not a tool for signatures. It’s also hard to sign documents with a paint roller. But this UI is much better at, e.g. drawing a smooth, symmetrical heart symbol, with a crisp turn. Different UI for different tasks, and it’s very cool to see something that intuitively lets you control something that is normally hidden under your finger.
- DrewADesign 1y agoSkeuomorphs retain purely ornamental components of the thing it’s mimicking. If it was a graphic of a rope rather than a dashed line, or if it looked like the line was tied up around the thing in a bow, those would be skeuomorphic elements. But graphical interface elements always retain ‘some’ functional connection to the physical world and trigger ‘some’ abstracted existing metal model about how the world works. GUIs themselves conceptually mimic the idea of a physical space because it’s easier for people to reason about than a bunch of text. This is no more skeuomorphic than the reply button below the comment box.
