The mistake isn’t biasing your UI towards one type of user, it’s failing to realize that your user’s bias is changing.
User profiling could really come in handy with animations that are designed to instruct changes to the model.
Links that link to more information within a page.
I’ve been thinking lately about link signifiers. This is a perfect example of why I believe there should be another way of indicating that a link will simply un-hide information in the page versus whether it will take you to a new page in a more classic link (hyper-text) way.
In this example “view source” and “API documentation” result in totally different things. I completely missed the tip off with the cryptic eyeball icon next to “view source.”
So I right clicked “view source” so that I could open it in another tab. Which led to an error. When I clicked “view source” within the page there was a nice slide-down animation that was a total surprise!
However clicking API documentation in the second link provided, which slides down with the page as you can see, results in a totally new page of API documentation.
Really neat. I use the program that inspired him to make his own (transcribe) all the time.
interesting hourglass timer to pace the slideshow. like the text/image overlay too.
