@ggpsv @molly0xfff what do you use for mobile clients without media queries? Is there a better way? I've been trying to make my website as fast as possible, no JS etc. using Hugo @ashleycollinge @molly0xfff Sorry, I was not clear. I meant using the media query for "reduced motion": `@media (prefers-reduced-motion)`. I use this in my Hugo site so that the "jump to top" button is immediate if this setting is set in your device. Otherwise, the scroll is "smooth" ``` @ggpsv Ahh I understand! I'm going to save that. I prefer websites to be snappy, too often I've managed to move the cursor to the next button before it's loaded, not good! @ashleycollinge To be fair, CSS has changed a lot and it may be hard to keep up with all the latest things. But if you're doing a lot of animation/transition like Molly's example, it's good practice to respect that setting.   @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io Yeah, I use uMatrix to prevent sites from using CSS or javascript — originally when every site decided we only needed text weight to be at homeopathic levels and ultra low contrast, but I've managed to mostly escape this drek.  @molly0xfff It does cut down on animations, so there can be a perceived performance increase. @vertana this is the site with prefers-reduced-motion. a responsible web dev would eliminate the unnecessary animations IMO @molly0xfff Wow. I don’t think I’ve actually seen a website respond to the reduced motion setting from the OS. This looks (and probably feels) much better with reduced motion. @molly0xfff I was going to respond with that site that is super fast with no javascript ~”this site is really f’ing fast”, but web search is so completely broken today that I can’t find it. @keyboardg I think you're talking about these: (which I was beaten to :( ) @molly0xfff maybe this is a stupid idea, but I think we need a dumb browser that just does not support this stuff. Tho, I gotta admit, be cool if all corpos switched over to GeoCities and late 90s design. |
@molly0xfff Running into sites using media queries or checking for reduced motion is somewhat like running into a legendary pokemon when starting out in Pallet Town.
