So how are you solving the problem of connecting desktop app to web app? Are you writing an Excel add-in to propagate and receive changes? Or making changes to OpenOffice?
P.S. You complained about the selected-cell animation in the web app. This animation is not limited to the web app -- exists in Excel 2013 as well. It's just an animation -- there is no functional effect. If you don't want to get slowed down, ignore the animation and start typing.
It's just like unminimizing a window in the Windows taskbar. The animation is just eye candy -- the window is actually fully-active as soon as you click on the taskbar button.
- revorad 13y agoAre you writing an Excel add-in to propagate and receive changes? Or making changes to OpenOffice? I'm not fixing those apps. I'm building a new one without that issue. This animation is not limited to the web app -- exists in Excel 2013 as well. Yes, but it affects the web app a lot more. You're right that it has no function, so why slow down the user for eye candy?
- tanzam75 13y agoYou're writing a new web app and a new desktop spreadsheet? Very ambitious. I'll check back in ten years. As for animations, users like animations. Only a small fraction of users know the program well enough to outpace the animations. And they can simply ignore the animations, like I do.
