I dislike scrolling. I dislike scrollbars. All.
Re-imagine content. Eliminate scrolling. Keep content represented on the screen. Elegent, progressively granular navigation on the screen.
I love when a scrollbar handle thins to represent the proportion of content on the screen and shits the usability bed.
You have only so many words left to say or type. Use less. Live/Say more. Condense information to fit the medium. Lose you paradigm.
Writers are paid by the word and we pay by the byte. Writers shit the net. Don't waste my life with words. Get to the point. We're dying here.
- roryokane 13y agoPerhaps many apps would benefit from this, but there are some cases where content has to be larger than the screen. This includes high-resolution images whose details you want to inspect (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:John_Singer_Sargent_-_Mrs._Fiske_Warren_%28Gretchen_Osgood%29_and_Her_Daughter_Rachel_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:John_Singer_Sargent_-_Mrs....), and books on websites such as http://www.talesofmu.com/story/ http://www.talesofmu.com/story/ and https://www.fanfiction.net/ https://www.fanfiction.net/. In the case of an image, the ways of seeing different parts of the image I can think of are zooming in and out, scrolling with scroll bars, or paginating the image. I think allowing both zooming and scrolling is the best interface in that case. So scrolling is sometimes necessary, and should not be abolished.

- dagw 13y agoI don't know about 'typically', but it isn't uncommon among freelancer writers.
