Really impressive layout and visuals. I know some folks have complained about the "long form scroll" as being less usable than linked pages broken up by section, but I'm a fan nonetheless. The more I use the web / tablet / phone, the more I find I prefer sites that put all of their content on a single scrolling page. It just feels easier to digest. In this case, honestly, I probably wouldn't have clicked through each section if it were in a more traditional layout -- I would have looked, said "cool", and moved on. But as it stands, I scrolled through the whole page from top to bottom and AirBNB delivered the full experience to me, as intended.

I agree, it was so nicely done and fluid. This is the reason you hire developers, and not "UX experts" No one other than a really good developer would have made it so fluid and nicely.

  Yep, that struck me to. A lot of previous long scroll examples have been "sexy" but lacked fluidity. I'm not a massive fan of long scroll in most cases; but it has it's occasional uses, and this was a brilliant implementation.

    I was impressed at how well it worked when I opened it on my Z10. Very well done implementation.

      What's your impression of the Z10?

  Try to scroll with your mouse wheel. It still sucks. It's only good with a touchpad.

  Fluid?? Are you joking? Try it on Android (Nexus 7 / JB) Urgh...

    I tried it on a bunch of Android devices and the only one that worked well enough to be usable was my Asus Transformer.

    Many Android devices lack hardware rendering, I meant fluid on quality software. iOS devise, Chrome. Etc.

  Just a question: This is exactly what i would expect from anyone claiming to be a UX "expert" - they should be able to show me new UX models that I, as a non-expert - would not have thought of. In this particular case - the fluidity of the background transitions along with the data changes was fantastic - and I tried it in reverse to mae sure it worked both directions. The execution, I expect from a developer implementing the vision of the UX expert. Am I wrong? Can you explain? (An aside: This is the type of "UX Expert" Quora really needs. The UX on Quora is so horrible, it was 30% of the reason I quit using it)

certainly works quite well in the format of telling a story.
