[–] kokopelli@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Personally I like the bounce, the stretch on my android always felt anticlimactic permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] simplejack@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah, I assume the Android stretch is because Apple might throw a legal hissy fit if they directly cloned iOS’s “rubber banding.” It was one of the early R&D interaction models that was key to Jobs green lighting the iPhone. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kokopelli@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Really? That’s kind of neat. I will say, iphones feel really nice to use, with the haptics and also general fluid animations. That is, assuming you do “basic phone things”, because as soon as you try and do complex things you need many more taps per action and sometimes the animated delay gets in the way. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] simplejack@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Turning on some of an OS’ accessibility setting around motor and vision impairments can speed things up if you want to fly fast. There are a lot fun hidden features that will kill animation or open up hidden shortcuts. IMHO, the end of scroll animation is probably one of the more harmless ones. Since scroll bars are usually hidden or faint, it provides some affordance for hitting the end of the line. Using an old Android phone that does a hard stop really feels pretty bad now. It’s one of those “how the fuck did we live this way for so long” moments. It’s like going back to a lower refresh rate on a display. It just feels kind of janky. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kokopelli@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I like the animations for the most part. The only time it gets annoying is when I misclick and have to wait for the animation of shame to complete lol permalink fedilink source parent
