nikitonsky: Checkbox/toggle label should not change. Checkbox state is an indicator if what’s in label is currently true or not.

nikitonsky: Do: make checkbox labels clickable

Don’t: make label clicks do something different from checkbox clicks

Thanks n10v for the video

nikitonsky: I thought I’ve seen everything. But here’s a checkbox that has a checkmark in BOTH states

Thanks @pablobirukov for the video

#Checkbox

nikitonsky: I mean, it’s strange to write this. It’s very strange to explain such elementary things. But if you make a checkbox, it’s a checkbox. If you want a navigation button, make a link. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT make checkbox text also a link! It’s impossible to figure out!

Thx @acedened for the picture

nikitonsky: - Please don’t put checkmarks in checkboxes before I checked them

- Checkboxes are multiple choice

- No, clicking on checkbox should not submit a poll

Thanks @siracusa for reporting this

#checkbox #poll

nikitonsky: This is my personal quirk, of course. I can’t make peace with using a cross for marking a checkbox. Normally cross means “No”, but for some reason, when put inside a checkbox, it’s supposed to mean “Yes”? Doesn’t make sense for me.

nikitonsky: another Telegram invention. A checkbox at the other side of the Universe

nikitonsky: Checkbox labels should be clickable. Come on, Apple, you are better than this!

nikitonsky: Please don’t change the state of control before I click. It’s very confusing
