Janky scrolling isn’t part of material design. It’s all about the crappy UX of Android Mastadon clients. Features aren’t lacking. Polish and craftsmanship is.

I'm not sure what they're talking about. Tusky feels no different than scrolling in Safari, minus the elastic scrolling at the side of pages.

After noticing someone else wrote a very similar article on an RSS reader on Android the day before, John posted a new article today. It included this:

> One thing I learned long ago is that people who prioritize design, UI, and UX in the software they prefer can empathize with and understand the choices made by people who prioritize other factors (e.g. raw feature count, or the ability to tinker with their software at the system level, or software being free-of-charge). But it doesn’t work the other way: most people who prioritize other things can’t fathom why anyone cares deeply about design/UI/UX because they don’t perceive it.

I’m curious what you think of it. I’m not trying to imply you’re in ether category.

This reminds me of mirror-universe conversations I've had with executives about developer experience for APIs. If an API functions and is technically capable of performing all of the operations that are business-critical, it works and is good; why complain? "Developer Experience" is just a fluffy, hand-wavey kind of mysticism that's so subjective no one can be expected to care about it!

And yet.
