This is good time to mention that scrolling is the bane of all things usable, and the person who invented it should be shot. If I wanted to lose context of my operations I would hire some guy to scream in my ear every few seconds, it would be less annoying.
Scrolling uis clearly tailored to touch devices like this one really should be an available alternative, not the only interface.
- ethanbond 12y agoWow. Are you kidding? "Scrolling" is the bane of all things usable? Short of clicking on things, scrolling is probably the single most familiar and universal interaction on any computer of any form factor. Not sure how scrolling necessitates loss of context nor how not-scrolling maintains context. The two are causally unrelated.
- carlitobklyn 12y agoI think he/she is referring to the fact that the site scrolls for you (i.e. scroll hijacking), not the action of scrolling (by users). When a site scrolls for you, it can cause you to lose context (as what you just did is no longer on the page). I feel like a more apt term might be slideshow design?
