The average mobile user has only one thumb and every gesture that isn't a simple swipe causes them unimaginable agony.
Thus, the infinite scroll is the only appropriate navigation mechanism.

#7Terrible headline. The article provides does nothing of the sort, it's just a meandering, musing on the nature of scrolls. It's filler. Lovely magazine prose.

#9Hit the paywall, so I couldn't read the article, but here is an article about Chinese handscrolls:

You read them horizontally, in a mode that indeed is quite similar to today's virtual scrolling.
So I guess, the alternative to infinite vertical scrolling is... infinite horizontal scrolling?

And they managed to hide it so heavily behind a paywall that I got 1 paragraph that ultimately told me nothing and did nothing to make me want to read more of the article. What crap.
I am totally in agreement with the sentiment that infinite scrolling sucks. I just want pages back.
