Man I tell ya, I am really coming to appreciate simplicity and predictability in UI design. Efforts to transpose physical patterns like swiping through pages onto the digital surface just feel wrong, and are never as intuitive as just scrolling down a page.
I say this as a mobile UI app developer who is coming to grips with the shittiness of some of the interfaces I've written that are out in the wild right now.

- anigbrowl 12y agoYes, but look ow much less text fits on screen. I mostly read at my desktop and I am sick to the back teeth of super-pretty scrolling websites that only use 1/3 - 1/2 of of my screen, and don't present a large volume of information at once. There's a reason we abandoned paper scrolls in favor of pages, they're a pain in the ass to navigate. The web in 2014 is arguably a significant improvement on magazines, but I still find it a vastly inferior reading experience compared to a book.
