nikitonsky: At this point... Just don’t bother with tooltips

#Tooltip

nikitonsky: Don’t use two very similar, almost identical words to indicate state in a long list

#iOS #iPhone #Settings

nikitonsky: WHAT. YOUR. APP. DOES. IS. MORE. IMPORTANT. THAN. POPUPS.

#Google #GoogleTranslate #Popup

nikitonsky: Here where? I’ve been looking for 10 minutes, it’s nowhere to be found.

I wish apps returned to the simple idea of having all their functions in the topbar menu instead of hiding them in multiple “special”, only seen in this app places.

Yes, menus aren’t sexy. But they are discoverable, universal, and they get the job done

Thanks @komarovman and (almost) @vanadium23 for reporting

#Google #Meet #Button

nikitonsky: Please. Sort your lists

#Sorting

nikitonsky: If I sort by “Most Users” it doesn’t mean you don’t have to do filtering anymore

#Firefox #Search #Sorting

nikitonsky: Pro tip: one button is enough

dmitriid: Even mobile phones have enough space to display most of what you need to show.

Especially one-liners consisting of six-letter-words

nikitonsky: It’s 42, why do you ask?

Thanks Scott for the picture

nikitonsky: First purple rectangle is a toggle. Second is an action button. With the best eyesight on Earth, you can’t find the difference

nikitonsky: How long are your tooltips?
