I'm just annoyed at the quality of the web, the accepted standard is all choppy<p>and not smooth. Most of the web would be completely unacceptable by iOS standards.<p>Yet we continue with a remarkably similar state to our past.<p>"Well if the web is soo choppy, point out some examples"<p>Sure. Off the top of my head...<p>Github: We love reloading pages.<p>Linode: "Unleash your inner geek" ..<p>...and find yourself complaining on HN about the <img> tags with no width and height attributes! (http://www.linode.com/tour/)<p>Design principal: Humans are very sensitive to movement,<p>so please make sure your pages don't twitch when the user loads them. Let's up the standards of the web.<p>The fact that iOS is soo much smoother than the web doesn't contribute much to why iOS is soo much more profitable,<p>but you can the fact most of the web is choppy doesn't help when we want users to pay for our web apps.
GitHub is a poor example, since it has an excellent usage of history.pushState and slide transitions for navigating repos.<p>If anything, blame Apple for cripping web apps when you add them to your homescreen.
