Grumpy Website

nikitonsky: Three problems with table at the top:

1. Data is too far away from its labels

2. Data is right-aligned

3. Too much visual noise created by delimiters

All solved trivially in the bottom one.

nikitonsky: Modern idea to put controls on top of content when the space on screen is essentially free and infinite is... not good

nikitonsky: Why does some of your content hovers over some other content? Can’t decide what’s more important? You control _everything_ on this website. Find a place for “continue watching” that’s not as annoying as current implementation. Probably a case of two departments fighting for user’s attention, but still, no excuse

nikitonsky: Two “Continue” buttons on one screen. As a rule of thumb, one clearly distinguished “call to action” primary button is preferred

nikitonsky: As a rule of thumb, don’t change the size of your graphs when editing irrelevant settings. It looks like files are getting smaller, when in fact they are not!

nikitonsky: Try not to separate table header and table columns

Thanks @semeromance for reporting this

nikitonsky: Put important information first.

Thanks @SomeKirill for the picture

nikitonsky: There’s no reason to give disabled buttons different styles

nikitonsky: How do you want to verify your identity? I choose email. And start monitoring my inbox for the code.

When, unlike any other 2FA system, Microsoft has one extra step to _type in email_ that looks exactly like “enter 2FA code” screen would look like.

Very confusing.

nikitonsky: This tag UI is optimized for wrong thing: excluding instead of including.

I want to know, in which movies this person was as an actor. Instead, what I can do is see in which movies this person _wasn’t_ an actor. Nobody wants that.
