This site is the first working zoomable UI design I’ve produced. Here’s a list of things I think are cool about it:
- Navigating through posts and categories feels like I’m still in the same “system”.
- There is no home page or navigation menu.
- Every article feels like it has a spatial location on the site.
- Permalinks, browser history, animation-free browsing, and JS-free browsing are supported.
- You can hit ESC to zoom out.
- You either zoom or scroll. Never both at the same time.
- The fluid “covers” for each article are pure HTML/CSS.
J’évoquais la semaine dernière la navigation au scroll, Joni Korpi expérimente le zoom (là il va falloir aller voir sur place). La recherche est intéressante mais le bouton de retour mériterait d’être plus proéminent pour mon usage. L’arborescence doit être plate pour que cela fonctionne bien, mais c’est presque une feature :-).
