  • Can you tell me how any user ever finds out that you need to double click an icon on their desktop?

    I completely agree with you on this. I hate that Windows doesn’t disclose what areas can be clicked anymore. It used to, back when computers where new. Nowadays if you wanted to show a new person how to use a computer, you’d have to very explicitly explain things that would’ve been obvious from the looks just 10 years ago. (Ok, maybe 15.)

    What is a new Apple user supposed to do? Try all of the 30-ish gestures one can make on every side and every corner of every app? That’s just stupid.



  • Unless the user is actively navigating, the header is dead weight. The header should hide on scrollDown and reveal on scrollUp. Let the content breathe.

    This one I actually hate. Often I just want to scroll up a few pixels, either to satisfy a mild compulsion or to align the content so I can see most of it. This is completely ruined if the navbar pops back in. Leave it at the top of the page, where it belongs, not at the top of the viewport!




  • During our last meeting (where inexplicably 25 people where called to talk), my direct manager had to take a shit. He told my colleague who was sitting opposite of me to excuse him, should he be called while on the toilet (the order was random).

    Unsurprisingly, just as he had left, it was his turn. Despite being muted and had no video on, everyone heard me laugh because it was so loud my colleague’s mic picked it up.
