Who on earth thought it'd be a great idea to make the whole content on that webpage shift sideways as you scroll down the page? Thanks for that. I really appreciate designers making webpages more of a challenge to read.
- chazu 12y agoYeah that definitely gave me a weird moment of vertigo. Decidedly unpleasant.
- taigeair 12y agoInteresting. I just wanted to collapse the side panel for less distraction. Didn't realise it was an unpleasant reading experience.
- Kequc 12y agoI would have that happen immediately, then slide open again if called upon rather than automatically from scrolling. While not truly unpleasant this did catch me off guard I was forced to understand what happened and that took me out of reading.
- taigeair 12y agoOkay, I'll look into re-designing it. Thanks for the feedback. Yeah it's not a standard design pattern. Does anyone like it though? Seems like most people don't from the comments.
- ekianjo 12y agoProbably someone who thinks that "making pages readable for everyone" is a goal for losers :) That's the theory in action !
- lifeformed 12y agoI thought it was kinda cool, but unsuccessful. It's probably something that sounds better on paper. I'm happy it exists. People should try weird things and show others, good or bad. Then everyone get's to learn what works and doesn't. Experimentation is good! Especially on low-risk ventures, like blog layouts. I think the response to unsuccessful experiments like these should be more like, "That's interesting, but I made it harder for me," rather than, "What the hell were you thinking?"
