Question

We’re currently using Monocle (https://github.com/joseph/Monocle) to build a book-reader application. The scrolling speed of the built-in Monocle.Flippers.Scroller is slow, especially when compared to native book applications. How can that be improved/sped up?

Answer 1

We fixed it in scroller.js. There’s code near the top that looks like this.

var p = API.properties = {
  pageCount: 1,
  duration: 300
}

Setting duration to 100 made it much faster, though we actually refactored it to use the k.speed constant (you can see the change we made here).
