The updates feed in the account home at facebook.com features a soft version of the continuous scrolling – or pagination – where the next results aren’t loaded automatically, but on clicking the “Older posts” link. Instead of linking to a new pagination page, the next items are pasted in the bottom of the page.
UI-Patterns.com is the work of Anders Toxboe – a Danish web developer seeking to categorize what has before seemed like ad hoc approaches to developing web applications.
By not only listing different ways of solving common design problems, but also rationalizing about how, when, and why such solutions should be used, it is the goal to create a tool that will help end feature debates, get a clear understanding of why we’re doing what we’re doing, and why we’re not doing what we’re not doing.
UI-Patterns.com is an attempt to over time create a library of such solutions to common problems. It is a personal project, but is open to contributions.
