Thanks! Yeah, it seems that the touch-based scrubbing is the closest to what I thought of. It's not my idea, of course. I just really like the UX of the material design from Google where the animation is linked to the progress of some touch event. It's not only pleasant to look at and play with, but it also lowers the cognitive confusion factor, since the visual stimuli is directly linked, by both trigger and progress, user action, instead of "happening on its own". Lastly, it works really well as tutorial since user can slow down, or pause in the middle of the action and the animation slows down, or pauses, in response. User can even reverse the motion and the animation will follow. This all in my, naitve, UX stufy on a few of my less technically gifted friends, did wonders to their ability to gain sense of comfort in understanding the UX paradigms of the software. I'd love to see the Web gain this capability, and of course, to see Firefox UI use that. zb. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
