chatrooms text direction
Posted: 17 Jan 2012, 22:46
As you might have noticed the newest msgs are now shown from the bottom to the top.
this is a temp experiment.
Yes I have a new smartphone, I've been testing this and it's very much not pratical to chat on your smartphone when the newest msgs are at the top and you have to type at the bottom.
Scrolling isn't exactly the best treat, let alone typing fast without error.
So making the direction bottom-up actually gives it a bit more efficiency.
Don't know what the reactions on this are going to be.
Probably a bit weird at first. But let's see.
As the IT applications get more mobile, it might be that simple things like this may give us a little boost.
What's your input on positive and negative points on this?
