Although that’s an old one, results seem to apply on #mobile devices as well:

In reality, research, including my own, suggests users rarely engage with content hidden behind the swipe. Instead, consider replacing the carousel with a static element, maybe including a queue, that updates the content either randomly or within a given time frame.

168 followers · 441 posts · Server mstdn.dkI was working on a #UI #component today and wondered how to name it. What’s the difference between a carousel, a swiper and a slider? The terms are used interchangeably, but I would argue, there’s a semantic difference.
#Carousels are circular. They start over once you reach the last item.
#Swipers are linear. You can swipe back and forth, but once you reach the last item, you can’t swipe any further.
#Sliders are input elements (think volume controls), and thus entirely diffenret UI components.
