Domanda
Mobiscroll is a new date and time picker which dramatically increases usability on touch devices.
My intention is to create a web app which will have responsive UI ( aka works on Tablets,Touch Phones and Normal Desktops ) and I want to use Mobiscroll,as it seem to be working well on desktop browsers as well.
I was interested in knowing fair it would be to use Mobiscroll in a normal web page ? Would is create pain / poor usability ?
And example of Mobiscroll on normal web page by some expert will be great ! ( jsfiddle ?? ) Example shall portray best practice , if any ?
Soluzione
Whatever you choose to do, there are some usability concerns you should take into account.
- Make sure you add to the experience, by making the life of the user easier, not harder (that's why mobiscroll works good on a touch device).
- Make sure you don't lock the user into a corner by forcing him to do something that he's not familiar with. For example... you can provide a textbox for entering the date & time, and have a "show picker" button, which invokes the mobiscroll picker.
You can always make your app intelligent enough to figure out where it's being used and invoke mobiscroll only on tablets/smartphones.
