| Oct 5, 2014 at 20:00 | comment | added | Mast | Have you thought about making the slider adjust the speed of increment instead of the increment itself? Further to the right is faster ascending, further to the left faster descending, etc. | |

| Oct 3, 2014 at 16:22 | comment | added | colmcq | yes, so if you imply a max value at the end the user will most likely wonder why: that is a max value and why they can't reach it quickly with this control. | |
| Oct 3, 2014 at 15:48 | comment | added | JonW♦ | @Blam I'm trying to determine a control that would allow the user to continuously count up. So in that sense there is no maximum. There is no 'last' number in existance. In practice we will likely restrict it to a certain amount, but I need a control that can theoretically have no maximum. With a scroller you know you are roughly 75% towards the end, but here I don't want the user to be able to see that. | |

| Oct 3, 2014 at 12:28 | comment | added | JonW♦ | It's probably more likely people will pick something within a range of a few thousand. But as it's just an interactive 'toy' thing they'll be encouraged to play around with wildly different figures. It's more the method of inputting these figures I'm concerned with rather than the specific accuracy (it's a textbox too so can be typed in directly). | |
| Oct 3, 2014 at 12:17 | comment | added | Henrik Ekblom | Does your users milage have a distribution (normal distribution is what comes to my mind) of how far they travel, or is it random (e.g. it's just as likely that the user will chose 35 miles as 346,352 miles)? | |
