Good morning! First Christmas day off 🌲🎅

Is there a name for what Teams or Messages (on Mac) does when you're scrolling up the chat looking for something and it jumps to a different place so that you lose track of where you were? It's such terrible UX, and I've seen it more than one place. (And I think I get why it's happening, technically - it still sucks 😑)

I don't have a word - but I absolutely hate that. Twitter does it all the time. I'm scrolling down reading some persons work, and follow a link. Then I go back and I'm lost. Having to scroll down pages upon pages and figure out where I was. Grrrr

teodorlu11:12:30

Perhaps chat apps should just store position in chat, and ask you explicitly if you want to go to latest?

reefersleep11:12:46

Stuff like that is why I generally open links in new tabs when I can, which is not always easy on the phone

That's be neat

The situation I'm talking about is purely when Im scrolling, though

Scroll, scroll, scroll, looking for something... Oops, the stream of messages jumped to s different point (lazy loading I guess) and now I have no clue were in the stream I am

teodorlu12:12:53

Oh - right, even worse.

I feel a bit torn myself between chat apps and "note taking apps". The fast interaction from chat is great, but it's hard to connect things. Roam Research has a sidebar that I use as a "context stack". I put things there when I want to reference it later. It helps be stay grounded. I would have loved to see something similar in chat apps. Put some messages on the sidebar to see them at the same time and compare.

teodorlu12:12:38

(I'm guessing we'll see a blurring between note taking/ knowledge management apps and chat apps the next years)

Mastodon has surprisingly good UX for that, but it helps that the stream is of course strictly chronological.

@U0AQ3HP9U I recommend completely forgetting about Teams during your xmas holiday 😉

@U052XLL3A don't think that'll be difficult, fortunately 😁

Turning some before-the-xmas-holidays-slack into code https://github.com/zk/clojuredocs/pull/246 🙂 Great to see the clojure.math ns appear locally…

Good morning! I'm down in a man cold. Waking up the winter landscape was strikingly beautiful and if I hadn't been so weakened I would have taken pictures because the view escapes my ability to describe in words.

flowthing17:12:21

Yeah, a lovely winter’s day on this side of the Gulf of Bothnia as well. Here’s to hoping for a white Christmas.
