everywhere on the web i am reminded of Sir Humphrey's Law of Inverse Relevance: the less you plan to do, the more you have to talk about it there's a modern version of that with scroll gags and stock photography that poo poo is so obviously a distraction from the fact you don't have anything

What is it called when a page tries to not look like its scrolling when you scroll it but it instead like moves elements around or opens up/expands elements as you scroll? Whatever that is I loving hate. EDIT: It is like the flash restaurant site of the now. Demonachizer fucked around with this message at 12:29 on Apr 12, 2016 |

Maldoror posted:* people are buying more phones and tablets and less computers, so our website should look and feel like it was designed for a tablet / phone, with big color blocks everywhere, less information, and less intuitive look and feel, everything should just be swipe / click bait Goddammit this one could be my current list of top pet peeves at work chaosbreather posted:if you take over navigation with a stupid spa and don't use the history api properly and responsibly to push out working, current urls for content you're human garbage who is breaking the internet Anytime people are trying to tweak or enhance or reimplement native browser func is almost always bad but messing with scrolling? gently caress YOU IDIOTS. God i hate being a developer sometimes. I blame ios mostly. People think their web page needs to have all this ios-app-style ui functionality that is janky as gently caress to implement with web tech. Like scrolling through a bunch waypoints and stuff. Yeah it's possible to do on the web but again gently caress YOU IDIOTS

I know what you mean. It is a weird bastardized usage of a parallax effect and it is absolutely poo poo but there may be a more specialized term (or at least 5 terms that all refer to that same exact concept; such is the life of a Computer Developer). can anyone think of any example site? This is another trend that made it to the web from android/ios apps i feel like.

Why can't websites be well formatted and readable text with pictures that you can click on to see big or whatever. I would be perfectly happy if THE NET was functionally identically to windows 3.1 help files.

Speaking as a designer, we would all be much better off if we stuck with Gopher, serving Markdown or purely semantic data utterly divorced from display considerations. But then everyone would just create the filth some other way There just might not be a medium that can communicate anything important or useful that can't also transmit retina-searing commercial infused diarrhoea. Maybe that's a good thing somehow?

Youre right though, web technologies can more or less do all the fancy poo poo flash offered over a decade ago except with much better performance (um in theory at least) and security. Streaming encrypted video is still one of flash's only valid use cases in 2015 that i can think of

Oh gently caress, you know what we need? A big horizontal bar at the top of the screen so when you page down via the space bar or page down button, more than an inch of your aeticle is hidden behind it. Lets throw one at the bottom of the screen, sometimes too, just gently caress it. Who cares if its covering content?

Plus two enourmous whitespaces on the side, since we need to put that all that horizontal space gained by selling people widescreen monitors to good use.

It also uses up a poo poo load of RAM after a while and in the case of Twitter pushes you back to the top of the feed when you press the wrong button trying to get an image full sized.

This is more backend, but Google Tag Manager is the bane of my loving existence. How about we give the client's marketing total control over script injection! Surely it won't result in recursive ad loads resulting in 2500 requests over 50 seconds until the page crashes. Sorry, I cant fix that, you wont give us access to your GTM account. Have fun though! Seriously though, leave your console network tab open on some sites and you will be appalled.

The Verge is terrible, let's examine why:quote:LMOrchard analyzed what happened when his browser opened a Verge article in July. Before it was done displaying a 1600-word article with a couple of pictures, it had downloaded almost 10Mb of data. All of the words in the article add up to about 1/1000th of that amount of data! When a reader complained on Twitter about bloated pages from the Verge’s mobile site, Nilay Patel (Verge editor-in-chief) conceded that advertising was responsible for much of the rest of the loads.  http://www.brucebnews.com/2015/09/ad-blocking-the-good-the-bad-and-the-death-of-the-internet/
