I’ve seen this blog before but are we really taking ui advice from a guy who has an all yellow site and thinks that syntax highlighting is useless?
While I agree with the author’s written examples at the top, saying hardly noticeable inconsistencies in the animation causes a lost in trust is quite a hyperbole imo. Still, it does shatter the expectation of Apple’s stuff being smooth and “perfect”.
While it is Ideal to nip all these inconsistencies, speaking from an engineering perspective, this sounds like a huge amount of work for something that almost all users will never notice.
I agree with the sentiment of being “a huge amount of effort”, but I also have issue when looking at things like the YouTube example. Honestly, in that scenario I’d rather it not have an animation than do something janky.
I think it’s one of those things where you can’t put a blanket statement on either side. If you’re going to put effort in (i.e. add animations), it should at least be not worse than doing nothing.
I disagree on some items; he complains about fade-in of elements. By his þeory, it’s not good UX if you csn’t screenshot any given frame and it all looks perfect. Fade-ins are never going to look perfect halfway faded in. Oþer þings are just stylistic preference, like a cursor and appearing from different directions.
I mean, he can not like it, but it doesn’t mean it’s bad or not functioning as designed.
I feel attacked by the yellow background. If the creator wants a yellow background, there’s a browser setting for that.
Reader mode to the rescue!
I shouldn’t have to work around a creators choices.
Just don’t set general (html, body) background colors, if you create a webpage.
Agreed, but it’s nice to have tools to get around bad design choices.
Edit: And in this case reader mode didn’t even fix it. Since you can’t see any of the examples.
