The pattern is consistent across all MSN apps. In News, the article content is scrolled vertically, too. I missed the news, this was discovered a couple of weeks ago in a leaked build.

@JohnGB Don't know. I haven't heard anything. The style guide talks about multi-column layout only for text.

I think this is huge news: Microsoft is moving away from horizontal scrolling in Universal Windows Platform. If you're testing Windows 10, make sure Weather app is updated and check it out

@JohnGB I think the home button reinforces the inconvenience and redundancy of steps needed to accomplish the task

Yeah. I thought the same, but that doesn't mean we can't appreciate the UX.

@srph If you're designing a desktop-use site, then there're no guidelines other than the standard usability and accessibility best practices. If you're designing for mobile and are trying to pass off as native, then the platform guidelines apply

@srph That would be a part of every platform's design guide. All interaction patterns are described quite meticulously for Android, iOS, and Windows

I went to a talk last night about security and UX. The speaker (a designer) argued that there should be some barrier to entry in secure communications apps because users will have a false sense of security if everything is smooth and automated.

@nightning Foundation has 2 humongous advantages: 1) it's responsiveness is based on REMs (typography remains proportionate regardless of screen size & pixel density), 2) Interchange loads only small images on mobile devices; if you use just media queries, browsers will load all images resulting in more traffic and longer loading times

I don't think that there's 1 way to rotate text for vertical display regardless of the situation. In that particular situation, the only implication would be for animation of rotation but no more than that
dnbrv
Feb 17, 2015 23:44
Agree to disagree?
dnbrv
Feb 17, 2015 23:39
@JohnGB Since you deleted the comment, I'll expand here. The earlier question has shown that there's no 1 correct way to do vertical text. The study you cited doesn't seem to deal with comprehension of rotated text but more with visual perception of mentally rotated letters.

Of course we're going to narrow it to English and Spanish, but wondering if there's some easily recogniz...
