[Usability] Just for Fun: Don't Click

[Alan Horkan <horkana maths tcd ie>]

I think this has just enough to do with design and usability to be worth
posting here.  Flash is required.

We've had many discussions about double click versus single click (more
web like) interfaces and on a few of those occasions I've joked about
taking away the click altogether and having a Zero click interface.

Well the designer of the following website had a similar notion and put it
into practice and designed a website which does not require any clicking
(mostly).

It is interesting, and if nothing else shows the importance of good
affordance as in most cases the design flows very well and leads or guides
the user on to the next sections.  The rearranging of the interface is a
little annoying and unpredicatable though.  Risk of accidentally
triggering something but a good design should be forgiving (a big red
"dont push this" button, is asking to be pushed.)

Perhaps not of any great relevance of Gnome but it will be nice to have as
a reference response next time someone insists they couldn't even imagine
the possibility of not having a mouse with two buttons.
