List View: Consider removing cell animation to improve scannability

[richtabor]

There's a slight animation (via CSS transition) delaying the visibility of the menu cell. It leads to a bit of inconsistency in how items are transitioned to a hover state as you scan the List view block (as the text hover style is immediate).

While I'm a proponent of animation, I do think that in the context of the List View (where speed and accuracy are paramount and there are lots of moving pieces) we should reduce the transitions.

Another potential follow-up would be to apply a background color to the hover state, instead of a text color change, so that the text and icon colors remain the same (but that's another discussion point, as its not done elsewhere).

Also, scannability might not be a word :)

Nice. Talking about list view working speed, what is your opinion about these two issues?

Agreed. Let's put it in the ux board.
