… and yet, I still found the Instapaper implementation (and all other implementations of this that I have ever seen) completely unusable and cumbersome. Scrolling is not exactly a complicated gesture on smartphones. It’s also precise, direct and quick, three attributes in which all tilt scroll implementations inherently do worse. All they have going for is that you don’t have to move a finger (but you have to move your whole hand precisely) and that you don’t cover the screen with said finger (but I can’t read while scrolling anyway). I’m really not sure we desperately need a replacement for it. Even if we do (and I’m just not clever enough to see that, which is very possible), I really don’t think tilt scrolling is what we want.
