Grumpy Website

 

Don’t force customers to watch a cartoon before they can interact with the website. Especially returning customers who’ve seen the very same cartoon hundred times already

As I understand it, quality control is basically non-existent at Apple these days

For a while, we thought they just don’t care about Macs, but iPhones still should be okay?

Well, they aren’t anymore.

Here’s the checkbox. But we won’t let you press it.

Thanks @hanser for reporting this

UPD: Looks like it’s disabled because suggestions are disabled unless you select Google Search. Apologies to Mozilla

If you didn’t do anything, press “Admit guilt” anyway

Thanks Fuchen for the picture

Today’s useless feature by a multi-billion corporation: Apple Photos will change (i) icon based on the approximate content of the photo.

Not sure why, the menu stays the same and just shows you meta-info on the camera (lens, focal distance, date, place etc)

Probably took a lot of effort, but thanks, Apple, I can see it’s cat by looking at the photo.

P.S. Horses have hooves, not paws

Animations should help users understand relationships between components. E.g. if menu “lives” inside a button, it should appear _from_ that button

Resizable windows? We don’t know how. We forgot how to.

Thanks @rudantu for reporting

I never understood this error codes thing. If you know what they mean, why not display it directly in the UI? Why do I have to go to another site to learn what Error: 9 Code: 0 means?

We did user research and identified three groups of users:

“As a user, I want to look at three chairs in a row”

“As a user, I want to look at four chairs in a row”

“As a user, I want to look at two chairs in a row”

Perfect! Let’s develop a separate UI for each one of them

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

Thanks anonymous contributor for the video

#Tooltip

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

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

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

Pro tip: do not ask user about every minor interaction detail in a modal popup

Ah yes. The famous UI component, drop... input?

A popup that asks if you want to change nothing and continue doing what you were doing. Crazy
