1 month ago Yes, please! I came to this repo to open an issue to request this. I'm happy to see that somebody else has already done that.
The scrolling of images upon mouseover is annoying to say the least, and distracting to be fully honest. Animation of this kind can be a problem for neurodivergent users, causing an accessibility issue.
Occasionally I notice images in Phanpy "scrolling". This happens both on Preview Cards for links and images that have been truncated for display on the timeline.
I think this happens when the post/image has the focus (although I'm not really sure what that means on mobile!)
It's a really neat feature and I like it at a technical/UX level but... I find animations really visually distracting and so, personally, I'd rather not have them
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. This does not relate to a specific problem.
However as above I (and I understand this to be a not uncommon issue) find animations overly distracting.
Describe the solution you'd like An option in the settings menu that would disable the automated "scrolling" that happens to images that have the focus.
Describe alternatives you've considered The only other option I can think of is disabling it completely but obviously that isn't really an acceptable one especially given I recognise this is primarily a person project.
Or not implementing and just putting up with it I guess.
Additional context
I really like Phanpy and it's now my default app. I hope this request makes sense because I really wasn't sure on some of the terminology and if my assumption of when this happens is correct.
