808628 - [calendar] [UX] move through weeks and days (swiping right-left) should have horizontal transitions

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 797702

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Calendar, defect, P4)

Description

[Pablo Sanchez [:pabloUX]]

currently is possible to move through weeks and days swiping left-right the screen, but there is no transitions that facilitates noticing and understating it.

Agreed.

Michal, didn't you work on calendar month panning a while ago?

Comment 3

[Michał Budzyński (:michalbe)]

I did, it's waiting for review for 2 months now (#797702)

The current version of that patch has some issues (the original issue was around .currentFrame which is still an issue) and we where seeing somewhere around 4-10 fps during transitions. Contacts had an interesting technique involving moz-element css rules (then transitioning those mirrors) to achieve better fps.

Personally I would prefer no transitions unless we can achieve a decent frame rate during transition.

James, I'm worried about the lack of affordance created by not showing _any_ transition. Can you ballpark the feasibility of using the Contacts method?

Michal, can we improve the performance of your implementation?

Casey, can you comment on the usability here?

Comment 6

[James Lal [:lightsofapollo]]

Using a similar method would be fairly simple (LOE:S) but would definitely require some CSS/JS coordination. You might want to nom this for a P4 soft blocker or a P3 for c3?

Comment 7

[Josh Carpenter [:jcarpenter]]

Okay, thanks James. Knowing that I will leave this in our UX-P2 queue for now, and make a P4, as you suggest.
