- TeMPOraL 10mo agoBeing related to neither software behavior nor the structure of the underlying problem, animations tend to obscure the causal relationships and make it harder for user to build a correct mental model.
- kaoD 10mo agoI see where you're coming from: animations are overused and even when they make sense they are made too slow and flashy (because otherwise how would the implementors feel like they did something if it's barely noticeable?) Animations are like bass in music: most people notice them only when they're missing or bad.
