Prelude

It always bothered me, that all apps use an interface principle which relies on vertical scrolling. I bet the first three apps you open everyday are based on this. So I asked myself the question how a principle with horizontal scrolling would work. I did some basic UI/UX research and came up with some pretty neat solutions. Of course, this system isn’t as perfected as the vertical system, but it’s a starting point. And that’s the point of basic research.

Basic UI/UX research is in my opinion a extremely precious thing we can do as a design community. And sadly it’s only done rarely, so I have to encourage you to do it yourself. Just pic a topic your interested in and think could need some change. Or maybe you come up with a better solution to my problem.

Here are some examples where research has to be done: shadows; the hamburger menu; what comes after flat?; online advertisements; car interfaces; type; feeds; interfaces for kids; what’s the simplest form of ui; audio interfaces; app drawer; AR/VR interfaces; gradients; redesigning the desktop; in stream; commenting; grid/off grid; feeds; on boarding; UI and algorithms; and much more!

But now let’s get started with horizontal scrolling.
