Grumpy Website

nikitonsky: I want to see all categories. I said all. I said all. Thank you!

Thanks @toby3d for reporting this

nikitonsky: I’m sorry, what’s the idea here? You make text field tall enough to fit both label and value. You then put label in place for value, where you expect user to type. Is it supposed to look inviting? Then when user finally figures this out and clicks inside, you move label to the empty space you had there all that time? Why not put it to the top in the first place?

nikitonsky: My first thought was: gray text is explaining what the toggle does. But then I read the text and it made no sense: if I _restrict_ sharing, it will allow people to save and forward?

Okay. Second idea. It might be explaining current state of the toggle. That would be wrong (don’t to this! always explain what toggle does when enabled), but at least I can understand the thinking.

So I enabled it and the grey text didn’t change. Now I’m out of ideas.

#Telegram #Toggle #Description

nikitonsky: How do you tell a button from a text input?

#Button #TextInput #Affordance

nikitonsky: Please, make your #icons abstract

nikitonsky: Erase your comment or erase your comment? The choice is yours!

#Microsoft #PowerPoint #Form #UserData

nikitonsky: Imagine seeing this without context. 88% where? Why not just say what’s going on? Why the mystery?

#Windows #Update #Wording #88percent

nikitonsky: Three popups, and we haven’t even seen what website this is

#Popup #Cookies #SignUp #ConfirmShippingLocation

nikitonsky: 1. Checkbox should be placed next to the setting, not to its description

2. Description shouldn’t explain how checkboxes work (“when enabled”, “controls” etc)

#VSCode #Checkbox #Settings

nikitonsky: This is the strangest spinner I’ve ever seen

Thanks Bricked for the video

#Android #Spinner

nikitonsky: Pro tip: try searching for what user is actually typing

Thanks Kevin for the video

#macOS #AppleNotes #Search

nikitonsky: When your logo has an arrow, using it in navigation might be confusing

#Istanbul #Metro #Logo #Navigation #Arrow

nikitonsky: Come on Apple, (i) is for information, not for “there’re important controls hidden in there”

#macOS

nikitonsky: Abstract art or #Jira UI?
