Grumpy Website

nikitonsky: Yo dawg! I heard you like tables in your tables, so we added tables to your tables!

Thanks Gamlor for the picture

#GoogleSheets

nikitonsky: No wonder nobody can remember what these icons mean

#Telegram #Button #Toggle #Mute #Video #Enabled #Disabled #StatusOrAction

nikitonsky: Not sure why but on Figma home screen there are three buttons to create new document. They all work differently (selection screen, dropdown, immediate action) but eventually create the same empty document.

#Figma

nikitonsky: I didn’t think this pattern still exist anywhere: you have to manually “Save” settings before navigating away, otherwise you’ll get this annoying popup.

But the question I have is: do you really expect “Discard” to be the most useful action here? Like, people mostly go to settings to change them, not to discard them, right? At least (at least!) add a “Save” button somewhere too.

#Todoist #Settings #Popup #Confirmation

nikitonsky: This is exactly backwards! Checkbox (top) should be square, radio buttons (list of reasons) should be round. Come on!

Thanks @chuhlomin for the picture

UPD: You can select multiple reasons, so checkboxes are correct there. My bad

#Amazon #Checkbox #RadioButton #Unsubscribe

nikitonsky: This is unacceptable. Burn it to the ground

#Notification #Dot #Habr #Animation

nikitonsky: This dialog always confuses me. I have to read small print to really understand what does it want

#Apple #macOS #Dialog #VisualHierarchy #Fingerprint #Authentication

nikitonsky: Calendar that starts on Wednesday? Sure, why not

nikitonsky: Leave it to Apple to design popup in a popup in a popup

#macOS #Tahoe #Apple #Popup

nikitonsky: Props to Apple for making a simple “Save As...” dialog so confusing

#Apple #macOS #Tahoe #Dialog #SaveAs #TextEdit

nikitonsky: Left: text field, right: button. Obviously

#Patreon #Affordance

nikitonsky: Do you even remember why we were making websites in the first place?

#StackOverflow #Popups #CookieBanner #SignIn

nikitonsky: Show more options: same 4 options

Thanks @zabolekar for reporting this

#Windows #Menu

nikitonsky: How many times does one need to click on a power off icon to power off computer? 4 times, apparently (last one shows one more menu)

Thanks @zabolekar for the picture

#Linux #Ubuntu #Gnome

nikitonsky: So many icons, so little spa...

Thanks @Svenlaa@mas.to for the picture
