On: Laws of UX

[montroser]

For a site espousing UX platitudes, I don't feel it's too nit picky to call out their completely terrible back-button behavior.

You click on one of these items, read down the item detail page, then click back to go to back to the index page, and this happens:

- it scrolls you back to the top of the item detail page

- it fades out the detail page

- it fades in the index page

It's janky, and wastes my brain cycles trying to parse the fleeting intermediate states. Also, the fade animations are too slow -- literally making me wait through the jank to get back to the content I'm looking for...

The "montroser principal": "Enough with the animations already".

No, it's important that every single element vertically slide and fade in as I scroll the page.

How am I supposed to know this is "design".

That's the "chrstphrknwtn principal", use whichever principal best applies.

This is the "jonny_eh meta-principle" at work! Finally see it with my own eyes!

[jonny_eh → drekipus]

I, personally, see it everywhere!

The orthography principle.
