I completely disagree with your comment. Please mess with scrolling. Make it better, try new things. The idea here has a ton of merit, and while you're complaining about the experience, the poster says "Warning: I’m not really a programmer so the demo is just a hack to demonstrate how it could work...."
This is nothing but a quick hack demo to show his idea.
If people don't 'mess' with things, they're never going to improve. I think this is a great step to something that could be very functional and easy to understand.
- saurik 14y agoThere are more integrated, more universal, and in fact I will claim easier ways of accomplishing that: jailbreak the device and hook the scrolling algorithm.
- rbellio 14y agoI agree with both of you in some fashion. On one hand, to stop investigating and pushing is to stop breaking new ground. On the other, nearly good ideas can be just as bad or even more so then ones that seem automatically catastrophic. The minute I saw the diagram that showed the difference between the two types of scrolling, the "Oh, no" was already forming in my mind and working it's way through my synapses. The reason gestures work so well is because they are so greatly different than each other. The flick, the pinch-to-zoom, the tap, all easily discernible gestures. The short flick vs. the long flick? When does it stop being a short flick and start being a long flick? The idea of a bring to top of page gesture, however, is genius. Now we just need to find a gesture that would be best utilized for it.
