Gestures as a New Dimension in Mobile Design
- justjimmy 14y agoOh god…the rewind on Paper. Makes me want to punch myself cause it makes me feel so damn stupid when I can't get it to work. Then I'm stuck with more random scribble marks when the rewind fails. Please, no rewind gesture unless a failed rewind doesn't activate other stuff. It's horrible to have a rewind feature where you can accidentally draw on your pad, causing more issues. Other than that, decent article. (And the Paper app is awesome, just I hate the damn rewind function. It'd be so much better if it was like a slider like a video)
- gannonburgett 14y agoDoes that really happen that often? I consistently use Paper and maybe a few times in months of using it do I mark a bit when trying to use it, but it's usually because I didn't have two fingers on the screen. And even if you do make a mark or two, you can go ahead and rewind those as well.
- jerf 14y agoIt's interesting, but gestures in general have a major discoverability problem. I do not know that it is an unsolvable problem, but until it can be solved in a more general way, it's going to be hard to push them much harder than they already are.
