"Group of friends take over Nashville hotel for hours after no employees were found". #WeirdNews Fun story, but I'm not posting a URL because all the webpages I opened of this article have too many ads, autoplaying video, and other bullshit. ☹️ #UXFail #WebDesign #www #fail
I wanted a coffee and I have a coffee powder all over the flat instead.
I was grinding the coffee beans while also walking around the flat and talking with my girlfriend. Then I noticed that I didn't mount the cup collecting the powder in the grinder. 🤦
My excuse is that this is really a #UXFail as it is possible to assemble it without the cup.


Such a useful notification in macOS Ventura... and if you click on any of them it just takes you to the Login Items page... doesn't tell me which one is which nofication.. #UXFail
Ugh - the 'verify' step takes just one second if you remove the trailing 'designs' folder from the URL pointer to your account. Wish it had indicated that it was having a problem rather than just spinning, making you think it was working. :(

I have no idea who designed the UI for Teams, but it does so many weird and counter-intuitive things.
If you press the up key, you are suddenly editing the last comment you posted.
If you then press Esc, which I expect would cancel that action, nothing happens.
I have to pick up the mouse and click the small "X" button that also often gets overlayed by the popup menu, and then I have to press Discard in a modal dialog, even though I made no changes.
WHAT THE HELL!

Il y a un an, j'ai designé une interface où la modification se fait via une modale. Je SAVAIS que ce n'était pas une bonne idée sur le long terme, mais c'était tellement simple sur le coup...
Et ça y est, le jour redouté est arrivé : ma modale a bien évolué, et j'ai maintenant besoin de faire apparaître une modale sur la modale 😭.
Bon, j'ai pleuré un bon coup. Et maintenant, je vais essayer de limiter la casse en évaluant mes options (merci au chouette https://modalzmodalzmodalz.com/)
🌟 Инновации в #Skype, диалог с самим собой! Уже знакомый паттерн из разных мессенджеров для быстрого сохранения заметок на будущее.
Сделан, в духе #Microsoft, через задницу.
Для начала, он в разделе Favorites (Избранное). Если щёлкнуть по нему правой кнопкой, всплывает меню с разными действиями, среди которых… "Add to favorites" (добавить в избранное).
…
Што?
Так он в избранном или нет? Интерфейс однозначного ответа не даёт.
Но что хуже, убрать его оттуда тоже не даёт.
В этом же меню пункт "Hide conversation" (скрыть беседу)… ага, тоже ничего не делает.
Encore un site qui veut trop en faire avec la validation d'email !

Twee verbeterpunten voor webshops:
⬜ Ja wil graag de nieuwsbrief ontvangen
⬜ Ja, ik wil graag herinnerd worden aan het schrijven van een review
Opt-in in plaats van ongevraagd tig mailtjes nog na de bezorging ontvangen.
Als ik je de eerste keer al heb weten te vinden, dan lukt het me een tweede keer ook wel.
Stuur je me ongevraagd nog allerlei mails, dan sta je voor een volgende bestelling onderaan mijn lijstje.

Tous les trois mois ça se déconnecte. Et alors il faut remettre le code wifi. Wtf.

Je profite de la vague X pour refaire mon #introduction
Sur Masto depuis la vague francophone de avril 2017 ( j'ai quitté twitwi définitivement en 2018), j'ai rencontré plein de gens sympas et rigolos (oui, même les jumeaux), y compris mon namour 🥰
UX designer depuis des lustres, je chouine sur les #UXFail, j'adore collectionner les copies d'écran d'interfaces déglinguées et poster des #websitefromhell qui dégomment les rétines.
J'aime ici la bonne humeur générale.
It's a common practice in Unity to start the name of a scene, prefab, etc. with an underscore so it will be listed first in the project window.
This is because things are sorted lexicographically and underscores come before letters in ASCII, right?
Well, no.
So what the heck is Unity using to sort things? Did they ... did they really add the underscore as a special case?
On this form, an empty string fails the "does not contain illegal characters" requirement.
Holy triple-negatives, Batman.
And what is an "illegal" character? Based on the remaining criteria, I think this means, "non-ASCII".
The whole form (which is the whole webpage) looks so 90s and amateur. Good job, Oracle.

@libreoffice has this odd behavior where if you select some text and export a PDF, by default you end up with a PDF that contains ... the selected text. This is how I've routinely ended up with PDFs containing the word "the" or "of" just because that happened to be the active cursor selection.
Classic case of "pick sensible defaults" to avoid #uxfail.
Didn't see an existing bug for this so I've opened one here, curious how the project responds to #UX issues:

Pokaždé mě udivuje a rozčiluje, když vývojáři nemyslí na zcela základní ovládání formuláře pomocí klávesnice.
Toto je prosím #Google, ověření uživatele na #YouTube. Objeví se formulář, input políčko nemá focus, tj. uživatel musí do něj kliknout, potom po zadání číselného kódu se automaticky sice zvýrazní tlačítko SUBMIT, ale opět nefunguje klávesnice, nestačí stisknout Enter, musí se opět myší kliknout 🤦

CMB again, 72h avant de valider un IBAN, puis ensuite 48h dans un autre message, toujours dans la même appli
CMB : quelle idée alakon de masquer les 5 derniers chiffre d'un IBAN qui n'a rien de confidentiel, surtout dans l'appli où on peut les afficher qu'une fois authentifié fortement !
UX failures: there are now four (4) competing scroll bars on screen for this webform.

Heureusement qu'on me dit quoi faire au moment où je me déconnecte parce que sinon, j'aurais pas su 😅 #UXFail #PrenezMoiPourUnJambon
Oh putain le gros #fail de #Gthumb là…

And then there's the ultimate second-most annoying popup that has ever graced my 4K monitor.
The most annoying popup was still a record held by Clippy, of course.

...but whoever designed the rest of the UI needs to tone down their ADHD.
The introduction page content says no to clutter, clicks and distractions yet the page design is all clutter, clicks, and distractions.

My phone thinks, I’m sleeping. At the same time it’s playing music. Not sure how that goes together. #iphone #uxfail #uxwonders

Tried the official #ChatGPT app, it sucks! It’s rare for a website to be better than the dedicated app. Haptic feedback while the AI types? Why?! All chats are labeled as 'New Chat' unlike the website, which names chats intelligently. And no auto-scroll? Every chat or messaging app since the days of IRC has understood the importance of autoscrolling when new messages appear. This is basic UX, don't make your users work for the information. #AppReview #UXFail
I just reinstalled @element on Android and set up a new @matrix account on it. The handy UI that divided rooms and people (DMs) into separate tabs is gone, replaced by a one column UI with a confusing mixture of rooms and people. I've been through all the settings, multiple times, and I can't figure out how to get my familiar UI back.
Help?
"Engaging new UI design" is when you have to use your #adblocker to remove a #popover element that is not going away by clicking on it or the new feature it is advertising.
Just happened with the new #gitlab merge request menu. It was blocking the #edit button 🤪
Said it before, Ill say it again.
#mac / #macos "Search" function?
100% hot garbage. NEVER works the way you'd expect.
"Somewhere in this folder is a file with the name 'license' in it... just can't find ti atm..."
"Here are all the files across your machine that have embedded somewhere in their metadata the word 'license'. Also, I'm going to lock up, but you won't know it.
If starting a shell, typing 'find . -iname '*license*' is faster, something's wrong.
The UX spidey-sense is a blessing and a curse. I'm happy I can make software a little less awful for people, but it means I'm the one who has to pay attention to the crud in the corners.
Like, in this dataviz tool, you can mouse over a segment of a stacked bar chart and get a popover with tabular data...but that popover scrolls...and it vanishes before you can mouse over it to scroll through said table...

Impossible d’accéder à l’espace client de la poste (https://www.laposte.fr/espaceclient).
Visiblement, React n’est pas content.
Désactiver JavaScript affiche le message « You need to enable JavaScript to run this app. », en anglais dans le texte qui se traduit par : « Vous devez activer JavaScript pour exécuter cette application. »
Je ne pense pas que ce soit une façon professionnelle de nettoyer un écran.

And #PayPal doesn't really like you to report fraud.
On the fraudulent page there is a "report this link" option. But clicking it send you to a "form" where you need to specify the link again.
There PayPal tells you that they can't disclose any information about a result or consequences of the report because of data protection. And that the data will be treated securely and anonymously.
Then they require you to enter you name and email 😡 🤡
When you try to enter an https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/... link in the PayPal.me form field you get an error.
I am sitting at one of the very few oenches in the station. It is positionned so you can see the timetable display, except the train numbers and departure times, which are hidden by the infodesk.
The other bench is right under the timetable so you can see it from there only by bending your neck and reading upsioe down.
#UXFail or intentional design to prevent people from waiting too long on the benches?
A: Let's make settings obscure the view so you can't see how your text looks with the font choice.
B: Evil.
A: Should I put a preview in the settings then? A ray of hope?
B: Sure... but make the preview text draw at a different scale to the actual window.
A: Lulz you're bad.

Yes by all means, make it so some field changes on your form automatically update the back end, while others require a save button. Yes indeed, that's is the best user experience ever!

With web forms, for birthdate, a text input should be used for the best usability. A dropdown for the year is bad, but this is ridiculous! Sorry, but no one will be born in 2055 for another 32 years.
