May 9	comment	How can the mode of a car's transmission be made more clear? As for 'always leaving car in one gear' if that is a real issue, then I think it's a valid question, but I don't know of any data that says that's a real issue. Most everyone I know that drive a stick has a habit of putting the vehicle in neutral as they start the vehicle.
May 9	comment	How can the mode of a car's transmission be made more clear? It's an interesting hypothetical, but I think in reality, anyone that drives a stick intuitively and habitually always shifts before accelerating.
May 9	comment	Sending a formatted email vs. sending a PDF as attachment When I want email, I just want email. No HTML. No PDFs. So, this may not be a feature aimed at everyone.
May 8	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JustinMeiners I don't know specifically what you are referring to (BTW, if you can take this to chat, please do, alas, I can't see the chat option).
May 8	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps let us continue this discussion in chat
May 8	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JustinMeiners I've used some native apps with horrific UIs and UX. I've used some great web apps with wonderful UIs and UX. Point being that the code, in and of itself, is hardly the deciding factor in whether a UX is good or not.
May 8	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @rahul the chat option doesn't show up on this thread for some reason.
May 8	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @3nafish I understand you are comparing Native Apps with Web Apps. I'm not critiquing your answer (as it's a good one) but trying to get clarification from the OP on exactly what they want. I think (but am not sure) that the OP was wanting to compare Native Apps (coded in a native language) with Native Apps (coded with HTML5 and PhoneGap). Again, it's confusing as people are using different definitions for the various terms throughout this Q&A. (In other words, it appears that there are many varying definitions of 'web app' floating around in these answers which maybe confusing to some).
May 8	comment	How should I design a table with clickable rows? @lenny.myr oh, I see...both links take you to the exact same information? If so, then I suggest that ONLY the book title be a link.
May 8	comment	Research on scrolling within modal (web)? pros/cons? I've run in to that same debate before as well. My take is that regardless of the option, the goal should be that only one scroll bar appears on the page at a time in those situations).
May 8	comment	What is the validity of contrast and colours tests? Somewhat ironically, the checkmycolours site uses 100% white text on 100% black. Ouch, my eyes!
May 8	comment	Is it OK to use 'free' in a tax subtotal? I wouldn't mention that they are not paying taxes because they are special, as that's a lie. They are not paying taxes due to local tax regulations.
May 8	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @sirtimbly I'm still a bit unclear as to what you are specifically wanting to compare. 3nafish's answer is great, but is talking about web apps (meaning apps that exist on a web server that you view through a web browser). However, I think you were asking about compiled native apps built using HTML5 via PhoneGap. Note that those are different things.
May 8	comment	Content Management Systems (CMS) layers @JoseDavidGarciaLlanos closing and downvoting aren't really flaming on SE. That's just how these sites works. Don't take offense. All that said, the question you are asking is about software development, so I would ask this question on one of the software-developer focused sites (Such as SO, or Programmers or CompSci)
May 8	comment	Content Management Systems (CMS) layers @JoseDavidGarciaLlanos flaming? Anyways, a CMS doesn't have a set number of 'layers'. It will depend on the particular CMS and how that particular CMS was built. The 3 layers you talk about are 'software architecture' layers. MVC is another architecture that uses layers. There are other options as well, and a CMS may use one of them, or none of them.
May 8	comment	Content Management Systems (CMS) layers What you are describing is 3-tier architecture: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… It's not specific to a CMS (nor would a CMS necessarily use it) and it's not really related to UX.
May 8	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JustinMeiners I'm not sure what specific part of that web site you are referring to, but that would be a an example of a specific feature in a specific app, where choosing a particular technology may very well be a make it or break it decision. But that can't be applied universally in a generic way to all apps. Sometimes it matters, sometimes it doesn't .
May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JustinMeiners and to be clear, I fully understand the technical aspect you are arguing. Yes, faster code is faster. But there comes a point where the code is 'fast enough' in that anything faster isn't going to give the end user a better experience. My web browser scrolls pages just fine, so I can't see how faster scrolling code benefits me as the end-user.
May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JustinMeiners yes, like I said, technically it's objective. But if a user can't actually tell the difference in use, it's somewhat moot. As for knowledge base, you're coming at it from purely a code optimization point of view--which is just one factor in a big picture of overall UX.
May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps I don't understand what you mean by 'see scrolling'. Can you be specific? My web browser seems to scroll as fine as any native app I have.
