How do you indicate something is scrollable?
Indicate content overflow by cutting off grid tiles. Or alternatively you can directly ask users to scroll. A subtle cue, such as an arrow pointing off-screen or a text “scroll down,” can inform users that most of the content will be laid out linearly.
How do I deal with infinite scroll?
Simple and performant infinite scrolling using React Hooks
Infinite scrolling is a UX design technique that loads content continuously as the user scrolls down the page. This approach eliminates the need for any pagination elements. By freeing the user from that burden, it leads to a clean UX experience.
Is infinite scroll better than pagination?
Pagination works better on websites where users are looking for specific pieces of content. Whereas infinite scroll is better suited for websites where you want users to discover and explore the content available. Infinite scroll is also much more effective for mobile devices.
Is infinite scrolling a dark pattern?
Infinite scrolling is a common dark pattern you may be familiar with if you use Twitter or Facebook. Content continuously loads as the user scrolls down the page, so they never need to click to the next page.
