Now that Wikidot is pushing forward with mobile compatibility, one thing I would like to see is the ability for the ListPages module to load content as the user scrolls. That is, the module (when this option is activated) would only load items that can be viewed by the user, and if the user scrolls, more items are loaded as needed.
This is extremely great for mobile users, as the mechanic works intuitively with the finger-swiping scroll mechanic. This option is superior to the current alternatives:
Alternative | Why Dynamic Loading is Better |
---|---|
Fixed Pagination | On mobile devices, this can disrupt the flow and ease of reading. |
Maximum perPage | ListPages can be rather slow when listing hundreds of pages. Loading all of those pages is also very often unnecessary. |
I believe this wish is similar, if not identical, but I created a new ticket in light of the Bootstrap and layout pushes.
