Comments by "Winnetou17" (@Winnetou17) on "“Act On Press” - John Carmack's Hot Take On UI" video.

  1. One thing to mention: on things that should be on release, you can still have a little effect on press. Buttons are like that, to have 4 states: normal, hover, active (aka on pressed, no released) and disabled .... if I remember correctly. Having something like a color change on press would still maintain the feeling of very fast interaction.

  2.  @privateanon7623  Yeah, but you need to see the bigger picture then. There are cases where it should be on release. Like allowing drag-and-drop (which Carmack mentioned). Whatever happens directly on press has be easily undoable (like on a virtual keyboard) or not that important.
