nikitonsky: I wish programs could check for common causes like “You are offline” or “No internet” instead of “Error 11556”. Seems like a common case

nikitonsky: Applications should match OS look and feel, unless there’s a good reason not to.

Browsers, specifically, should draw as little attention to themselves as possible. It’s about web pages, nobody cares about the browser.

nikitonsky: The idea of icons is to be easily distinguishable. If the only difference is 30° rotation of two pixels, at this size... it won’t work

nikitonsky: An idea: double your page width for side-by-side diffs

Thanks @dottedmag for the picture

nikitonsky: The right to select text is a basic right of every user. Don’t take it away!

Thanks @verglasz for the picture

nikitonsky: Pro tip: background windows should indeed be dimmer, as in, have less contrast than foreground ones. Not the case in this picture
