Amazing UX design. These Dropbox designers have really stepped up their game. Try resizing the browser window or submitting a blank form. It's the little things

Amazing UX design. These Dropbox designers have really stepped up their game. Try resizing the browser window or submitting a blank form. It's the little things that matter.

Very Nice & Simple, a few subtle things going on and only has 717.5kB page size. Nicely done, I'll dig around for a bit but probably will not be attending.

Are they using a public lib to achieve the resizing?
- alexcroox 13y ago
  Why would you need one? It's just media queries with the added use of a general css3 transition on the elements so the browser animates them when they transition to the new position/size.

When I resize the window the day counter at the top overlaps itself. And why is it upside down in the first place?

The font is kinda awful here on Chrome/Win7.

  That's a general problem with chrome on windows rendering sites with custom fonts. It doesn't have directwrite, unlike Firefox and IE.

  It's awful in Chrome on 10.6.8, too. Not sure what they were thinking with that color and that aliasing.

I find the graphic at the bottom to be absolutely beautiful. It's one of those rare moments where I looked at the DOM to see what was going on under the hood. Unfortunately, this page also seems to cause Chrome's rendering engine to consume a full core on my machine to run. I'm not sure if that's Chrome's fault or the page's fault, though.

Amazing? Here is what it looks like on Chrome 27 under Ubuntu: http://i.imgur.com/rDiKbvd.png http://i.imgur.com/rDiKbvd.png Poor contrast with small type is not cool. The resizing is neat, I guess.

  Does it really just show the upside down "63 days" at the top for you?

UX maybe, but the visual design with that light gray text on white is terrible. On my MacBook, I had to turn the brightness up to painful levels, and even then it's barely readable.

That's amazing UX? Everyone was so happy about flash going away and now we are just moving into abusing html to do annoying animations on every possible thing. I find it grating. Why does the text disappear and then reappear at the top, seems like anti-UX Also their font is not very legible.
