Puisqu'il est question d'accessibilité dans cet article pourrait-on en finir avec les blocs qui s'ouvrent et se ferment sur les pages en déplaçant le texte par rapport à l'endroit où on a cliqué ?

Dans le temps on a inventé l'hyper lien et ça marche aussi à l'intérieur d'une page, vous pourriez mettre les 4 rubriques et faire une sorte de menu, ça serait moins chiant à lire.

Hairdresser needs me to fill in a form before my big appointment saturday. Their online form thingy is set to only use a little calendar for dates. Great for appointments, BAD for dates of birth.
Anyone want to submit a guess how many clicks it takes to scroll all the way back to my date of birth? #BadUI

This notification alert in the upper right corner's gotta be one of the worst UI patterns. The other day I couldn't find my bank account statements, because they were behind this sort of button. That's the kind of button I instinctively never click, because I'm too used to it being some kind of spam stuff on movie streaming piracy websites, hehe. Also, I'm just studying the docs. Why do they pretend I'm on social media or something?

🚀 Oh great, another half-baked tool no one asked for to "simplify" the web. promises to extract content like Readability, but instead, muddles it up with and leaves you wondering if it’s a parody of bad UI. 🙃

@yurisizov I think I actually had an even better idea... 😊

(also, a 2D variation up at editor.p5js.org/bojidar-bg/ske, but it's comparatively more boring)

Expectations: "When there are no rows found for a query, I expect to see "0 rows found".

Service-now: "HOLD MY BEER. You will get an image!"

Me: At least it's not an animated gif....

Imagine using a giant purple dragon watermark bought online for $20 on federal court filings. A judge called it juvenile and banned it. The lawyer cited AI use and liking dragons. Maybe not the best branding move.

Judge Tells Lawyer: No Purple Dragons on Legal Documents.

I’ve been using Android phones for years, and only recently got an iPhone. And I cannot believe that on the iPhone, the messages app doesn’t let you copy a portion of a text message. The whole thing or nothing.

Apple has always gotten most UI decisions right, but always has one fucking lunatic thing that’s no one would ever want. And they usually stick with it for years and years, like idiots.

So this is the thing on iOS. #IOS #Apple #BadUI

Did Visual Studio Code really make it harder to edit a SVG in a text editor?

That is some terrible UX decision-making for a text editor. I’m sorry. But I won’t pull any punches there. It’s a bad decision.

Instead of a sensible default for a text editor, I now have to go configure 2 different options and install an extension (figuring out which of the many extensions to install).

Looking at it, it seems like the original issue that caused this regression was Image preview does not work for SVGs. It was opened by a user with a single sentence, no issue summary, no discussion, no feedback. The PR for it was approved by two people without any real sort of review. There is much more feedback to revert this issue then there was for it, but no action has been taken. The image preview was also already provided by one of those extensions.

Hopefully the issue gets more traction and a better way to preview SVGs without making it much harder to edit them in a text editor gets added.

#Amazon has a handy button to change your language. And helpfully they've localized the names of each language so you can only tell what they are if you can read that language. Hablo Inglés y solo pequeño Español ... And I'm not fluent by any means.

The native spelling for that language should be the primary one displayed #badUI #badUX

Amazon language select with all the languages listed primarily with their name in Spanish

Hmm, the first think I want to learn is how to make my app’s window resizable, so it can take up more than 1/8 of my screen area?

#Apple #BadUI

Screenshot of the Swift Playground app window (with the tops section titled, “Learn to Code & Build Apps”), taking up a small area (1/8 of the total) in the upper left corner of the screen. A very nice picture of the Earth from space, showing part of North Africa, is mostly visible, so that’s nice.

I was genuinely upset at windows 11 for removing all the useful columns you could select in task manager's detailed view and wondering why people weren't rioting in the streets to get the ability to look at page faults back.

And then I realized it's all still there, only the UI for it is absolutely terrible and you only know this list is scrollable if you notice the microscoping scrollbar component on the right hand side.

I mean yeah that's on me, but also isn't that the shittiest UX for "this is scrollable" or am I just a grumpy old fart who thinks UI design peaked with Mac OS 7.5?

#windows #microsoft #badui

A screenshot of the Column Selection dialog in Task Manager, which has way more checkboxes that visible at first.

A tiny, microscopic scrollbar informs you that this list is scrollable, but it otherwise looks like it isn't.

These items are in the improper sorted order. Good job.

Bad UI design: Putting “Erase" next to "Eject” in a contextual menu. Do better, Apple.

Google stuck so many "helpful" labels on the subject line of this email in GMail that there is only one complete word from the subject left, and that word is just "New"

When you've taken all of the information away, it's not actually helpful to clarify or emphasize it. There's nothing to clarify. This is a textbook example of a feature that sounded like a good idea, but the company would be better off never having released.
