nikitonsky: How was your experience?

nikitonsky: We’ve identified that 5 out of 45 people have problem, and we build a UI just for that purpose. BUT we won’t pre-select those 5, good luck figuring that out yourself!

Thanks @tenochtitlan for the pictures

nikitonsky: Pretty creative scroll behaviour

Thanks @fried_zucchini for reporting

nikitonsky: HOW???

Via @nikitabarskov

nikitonsky: Decided to play some games on a plane. Four out of six downloaded turned out to be in this weird state: Steam somehow knows there is update but can’t download it (because I am on a plane). And it won’t let me play the old version either.

Don’t do that.

nikitonsky: Pop-up menus should NOT have another pop-up menus available on the right click. It’s really hard to figure out you can right-click second time as there’s no precedent anywhere else.

Thanks @nomit for submitting the picture

nikitonsky: System share menu on Android. Complete chaos

Thanks @antoon334 for the picture

Correction: not the system menu.

nikitonsky: “Download font” → “It looks like you need to download that font.” WTF?

nikitonsky: I am nauseous.

Also unnecessary animations that move things around and back create a feeling the UI is very frail instead of solid.

Leave things in place.

nikitonsky: Try to keep controls in place. In case of e.g. calendar, take into account that some months can span six weeks while most span only five.

Thanks @AndrewRichAdams for the video.
