This is nice for those who like the pull-to-refresh trope (I'm not among them, but that's not relevant here).
Some suggestions:
1) Wouldn't it be better to have some initialization function like $('body').hook('Reloading...') to create the necessary markup instead of requiring the developer to put it on each page?
2) I'm not sure how hard this would be, but I think it would be better for the pull to refresh action to be longer and more gradual. I hit a refresh just by scrolling up a few pixels past the top when I didn't want to trigger it.
3) I'm not sure if you already support this, but it would be nice if the reload action could support a user-specified callback function instead of always reloading the whole page. That way people could use it to make AJAX calls and reload specific <div>s instead of reloading all of the page nav and other static pieces. That's more like the behavior we see in mobile.
- return0 14y agoTangengially, people should stop using the trendy word "trope" to mean 'recurring thing'. It's only valid in a metaphorical sense. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/mind-your-language/2011/sep/29/mind-your-language-buzzword-trope http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/mind-your-language/2011/sep/...
- blowski 14y agoFrom the article to which you linked: > But wait: Oxford Dictionaries online, while giving a similar definition – "a figurative or metaphorical use of a word or expression" – adds a second: "a significant or recurrent theme; a motif: she uses the Eucharist as a pictorial trope".
- akavi 14y agoGod, I abhor this sort of peevery. But especially here, when the linguistic innovation is so damn useful. The "trendy" meaning of trope, is, as far as I can tell, not one easily replaced by another word. It's not a motif so much as a kind of generalization of what archetype is to a character. In its narrative sense it refers to the sort of "tools" and "parts" the story teller uses to construct their tale, and I absolutely love the extension of meaning to refer to UX... tropes (what word would you use here? Motif? That suggests to me more aesthetic design elements than things like pull-to-refresh)
- gojomo 14y agoPrescriptivist peevery (often with weak support) is by this point an HN-Trope.
- robertskmiles 14y ago> to refer to UX... tropes (what word would you use here? Motif? Probably 'pattern', I guess. I agree, I think it's a very practical new usage which doesn't introduce much ambiguity elsewhere, so I'm all for it.
