Kill The Hamburger Button | TechCrunch
by sbrothier
That little three-lined button is the devil. Whether you call it a side menu, navigation drawer, or a hamburger, hiding your features off-screen behind a nondescript icon in the corner is usually a poor mobile design choice. Interaction theory, A/B tests, and the evolution of some of the top apps in the world all support the same thesis: The hamburger button is bad for engagement, and you should probably replace it with a tab bar or other navigation scheme.
Web design as troll: how The Verge Fanboys piece taunted the internet | Vox Product Blog
by sbrothier
How do you speak to a group of extremely passionate people? What kind of design would speak to them? When Joshua Topolsky approached us about creating three different layouts in the style of three mobile UI’s we were initially torn. Something about mimicking the UI of phones didn’t feel original. But more importantly, it presented a problem of presentation. There was an inherent a UX problem to solve: do you offer presentation options or do you trick the user? We decided to troll.

This mantra is as true for the mobile Web as it is for the desktop Web.
La tête dans le Flux ! - Mobiles : tout est une question de taille !
by Monique
Ça commence à se savoir, les navigateurs mobiles n’en font qu’à leur tête rien que pour nous mener la vie dure : tailles virtuelles, viewport fluctuants, pixel-ratios incohérents, résolutions divergentes, valeurs faussées selon les contextes, etc.
Bref, les mobiles nous mentent ! Et en beauté.
Comme les tableaux et les listes de valeurs ne sont pas toujours très parlants, je me suis dit que des exemples visuels et illustrés seraient bien plus éloquents.
