... interaction is accompanied by animation that takes several seconds to complete. Since these animations are completely unnecessary the few hardware buttons switch between screens instantaneously.

The cherry on top is that it takes over a second—with a loading animation!—to change temperature by one degree.

And no one in the whole decision chain looked at it and said, "this is unacceptable". 2/2

I propose a new design term: "total design failure".

Definition: when every single person in the chain responsible for shipping a product looks at objectively horrendous design decisions and goes: yup, this looks good to me, release this. Designers, developers, product managers, testers, quality assurance... *everyone*.

I nominate Renault as the first example in this category.

Every ... 1/2

Another victim of minimalism and low contrast. Developers! Give your windows borders!

Another confusing puzzle. Which slider is disabled? According to Figma, top one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why are modern designers so afraid of contrast? E.g. Figma uses #F5F5F5 and #FFFFFF do differentiate between selected/unselected states. That’s invisible almost anywhere!

Imagine a world where you have to buy a whole new iPad because the old one is not powerful enough to RUN NOTES.

Bonus points for “device needs upgrading, device can’t be upgraded”. I have no mouth and I must scream

WTF Discord? If you can’t fetch a preview image it still doesn’t mean my PR is a pile of poo. Pretty offensive TBH

No one in the history of computers has ever connected Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive to anything and then selected a file from them. Not a single person. Ever.

So please. Don’t add an extra step to my file selection. When I click that paperclip, the only thing I should see is file selection dialog. From my local computer.

Profile is a link. Wolt+ is a submenu. Language is a dropdown menu. Contact Support is a link again. Log out is a button.

Welcome to 2025, where nothing has affordances and everything can look like anything else.
