Jakob Nielsen

Response Times: The 3 Important Limits

1993

Source: http://www.nngroup.com/articles/author/jakob-nielsen/

What are the 3 limits?

Limits

Determined by Human Perception

100

milliseconds

1000

milliseconds

10

seconds

Source: http://www.nngroup.com/articles/response-times-3-important-limits/

Reaction Times

100 ms

About the limit for having the user feel that the system is reacting instantaneously, no special feedback is necessary except to display the result.

1000 ms

About the limit for the user's flow of thought to stay uninterrupted, even though the user will notice the delay. Normally, no special feedback is necessary during delays of more than 100ms but less than 1 second, but the user does lose the feeling of operating directly on the data.

10 s

About the limit for keeping the user's attention focused on the dialogue. For longer delays, users will want to perform other tasks while waiting for the computer to finish, so they should be given feedback indicating when the computer expects to be done. Feedback during the delay is especially important if the response time is likely to be highly variable, since users will then not know what to expect.

Animations

Why animate?

Polish
Context

Animations should never inhibit the user experience

Rule #1

Animation Length

Should depend on:

Uniquness
Frequency

Frequent ≤ 300ms

Unique ≥ 1s (go for it)

  var directives = angular.module('app.directives', []);

  directives.directive('ngTap', function() {
    return function(scope, element, attrs) {
      var tapping;
      tapping = false;
      element.bind('touchstart', function(e) {
        element.addClass('active');
        tapping = true;
      });
      element.bind('touchmove', function(e) {
        element.removeClass('active');
        tapping = false;
      });
      element.bind('touchend', function(e) {
        element.removeClass('active');
        if (tapping) {
          scope.$apply(attrs['ngTap'], element);
        }
      });
    };
  });
})(angular);

Cache Data

When you can

(function() {
'use strict';

  var ngModule = angular.module("PeopleCache", ['angular-cache']);

  ngModule.factory('PeopleCache',['CacheFactory', function(CacheFactory){
    function options(){
      if (!CacheFactory.get('peopleCache')) {
	CacheFactory.createCache('peopleCache', {
          deleteOnExpire: 'aggressive',
          recycleFreq: 60000,
          storageMode: 'sessionStorage',
          storagePrefix: 'fs'
        });
      }
      return CacheFactory.get('peopleCache');
    }
    return options;
  }]);

})();

(function(){
  'use strict';

  var ngModule = angular.module('PeopleController', ['PeopleCache']);

  ngModule.controller('PeopleController', ['$scope','PeopleCache', 'PeopleService',
    function($scope, PeopleCache, PeopleService) {
      var peopleCache = PeopleCache();

      $scope.dataList = [];

      if(peopleCache.get('people')){
        $scope.dataList = _.sortBy(peopleCache.get('people'), 'name');
      } else {
        PeopleService.getPeople
          .then(function(data){
            peopleCache.put('people', data);

            $scope.dataList = _.sortBy(data.people, 'name');
          });
      }
      
    }]);
})();
