Wait until they realize that on mobile they can use accelerometer data to keep the element in the same position in space across translations of the device.

- jagged-chisel 2mo agoWait, I have to hold my phone how in order to see the div? ಠ_ಠ
- blamarvt 2mo agoI assume you have to be facing the server...
- alterom 2mo agoI mean, this could have applications, if you need to be facing a certain direction to read the content. While the Silicon Valley is merely a figurative Mecca for all things tech, Apple could require people to be facing Cupertino if you want to watch a WWDC stream :D
- Izkata 2mo agoAww, looks like the magnetometer web API was abandoned: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Magnetometer#browser_compatibility https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Magnetomete...
- dotancohen 2mo agoThis might actually be useful as some people do their maintenance facing either Jerusalem or Mecca.
- giancarlostoro 2mo agoThe same way Steve Jobs said to hold the iPhone.
- dpkirchner 2mo agoIt's easy, you just need to hold your phone such that your eyes are pointed directly at the ads as they scroll up and down the screen. Thank you for consuming content.

- fluoridation 2mo agoBut the problem is, you can never quite catch up to it without a rocket.
- valleyer 2mo agoNo, you can also take your clothes off and throw them upward with sufficient force.
- dotancohen 2mo agoI think that I saw somebody take your advice about five hours ago at the beach.
- happymellon 2mo agoAnd running to counter earth rotation...
- Izkata 2mo agoTranslations? Not far enough, got to include rotations: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Device_orientation_events/Detecting_device_orientation https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Device_orie... (And yes, CSS can rotate around all three axes, so you could make a div that resists rotating your device in addition to resisting translation...)
- LocalH 2mo agoStop giving them ideas! :(
- tzs 2mo agoI've actually kind of wanted something like that. Sometimes there is no size setting that will get the text lines on a page to fit horizontally without making the text too small to read. Making it large enough to read means lots of left and right scrolling which is annoying. A mode where moving the phone sideways scrolls the text at a matching rate so that the experience is similar to reading a page with a magnifying glass might be handy.
- fluoridation 2mo agoMost people would rather lines to be broken up and wrapped around than to have to walk around the room to read. Do you often find yourself reading photographs of stone tables or something?
- tzs 2mo agoWhy would you have to walk? You would be moving the phone back and forth by less than the width of a page. Wrapping is fine on some material, but when there are tables it can be very annoying.
