Wondering what do you call this? Is there a name for this kind of navigation?

Manual pagination? Slow mode? Finite scrolling? Windowed browsing?

Something like "manual virtual scrolling"? :)

@cheeaun this is nice! A rose by another name. I like the deliberate/intentional approach, maybe something along those lines.
@shom rose?

@cheeaun sorry I went all Shakespeare on you πŸ˜‚

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet

@apps what's it called? I love the feature in your app :)
@cheeaun my post is in the video, haha.
@cheeaun If it's not "Endless scroll", is it "Ended scroll"? 😁
@chris it didn't end tho', still can continue 🀣
@cheeaun Just checked Pinafore, and it calls the toggle to enable this "Disable infinite scroll" πŸ˜…
@VincentTunru ah thanks for checking, I kinda forgot it had that feature, though it doesn’t seem to preserve the scroll position πŸ€”

@cheeaun finite or windowed seem appropriate.

Reminds me of the indicator to fetch new posts on the Masto web client, but I don't use it enough anymore to be sure how it's different.

But do appreciate it might be an option in phanpy soon.

@cheeaun yep, just checked, and for the current version running on mastodon.social, an indicator of "new items" shows up, you click, and then can scroll up through whatever was loaded.

But it's not a set amount, which I'm guessing is what you are doing with this new u/x in phanpy??
