Why aren't iPhone text messages at full width? I wonder if layout is the same for languages that read right to left? |

Making space for the “drop cue” in a drag-n-drop design I also find it entertaining that this is exactly what happens when the last shelf is being overflown in the current version of live demo. It'll need a sort of believable animation though. |

Making space for the “drop cue” in a drag-n-drop design What I like the most about @Marjan's solution is that it never breaks shelf integrity. Imagine this interface as part of a book reader application. Is it likely that the user will use shelves for organization? If so, the top shelf will likely be used for favorite or in-progress books. Now, consider that the user may give meaning to other shelves as well (e.g. second and third for fiction, fourth for non-fiction). If she moves a book to “favorites” when it is packed, each shelf will get one “extra” book that has nothing to do with the rest. |

Making space for the “drop cue” in a drag-n-drop design @Jimmy: I will certainly keep doing live demos for some of the solutions here to test them. |

Making space for the “drop cue” in a drag-n-drop design @Marjan: This is a very simple solution I haven't thought of. Would you please post it as an answer instead? |

Making space for the “drop cue” in a drag-n-drop design Why, this is a very reasonable point. I also noticed that iOS home screen drag-n-drop doesn't animate immediately. Such delay nicely solves the problem of “overflow noise”. |

Making space for the “drop cue” in a drag-n-drop design Thanks for pointing out that this is the iBooks behavior, I'll get my hands on an iPad in a day or two to study it myself. I just realized that iOS home screen behaves this way as well so it makes perfect sense to mimic this established behavior. However, cascading overflow issue is not really a problem in iOS because there are just four rows. When there are eight rows, flying books will take longer to animate and they will probably be more distracting to watch. |
