This could be an interesting discussion.
I notice that even large apps like gmail and google calendar use native alerts (and I've been using them a bit more under certain circumstances—something has gone terribly wrong). What about native alerts in all situations equals unfriendly design—esp. when trying to mimic mobile native apps, but needing to span the gap from OS to OS?
- mmorris 12y agoI agree with their use under very particular circumstances, like in your example or (at least in desktop Chrome) for bringing attention to a window that isn't visible. I was referring more to using alerts as they're being used in the SweetAlerts examples (success messages and other "flash messages"). In these cases, UI-thread blocking seems bad, no? I actually think SweetAlerts looks pretty nice for those kind of in-app notifications, which was the point I was trying to make. (Though seeing comments from people who have dug in further it seems like it has some issues)
