I often find myself having to display a wildly unpredictable number of images on a page. The image size ratio is about 3 height x 1 width and I can have anywhere from 1-40 images.
Carousel's do suck, but what other options do I have?
op uses textblocks with extremely fast autoscrolls to convince you of something he believes in.
that doesn't mean there is no place for carousels anywhere.
take the new youtube profile pages for example.
the carousels are used to show unpredictable number of videos in specific lines (recent videos, playlist) without littering the screen with videos, not creating empty spaces where video numbers aren't divisible by 4 or 5 (depending on how many elements are supposed to be shown on one line)
this makes it much easier to scan several playlists on one page.
