I loooove to start projects just to see where they’ll take me.

No pressure, just momentum.

On muuten eri kivaa, kuinka Google Photos säännöllisesti ponnauttaa puhelimen ruudulle ilmoituksen, että valokuviani ei ole varmuuskopioitu, ja ilmoituksessa on väännetty Googlen pilveen kopiointi päälle.

Voi Google kulta pieni, ne kuvat on kyllä varmuuskopioitu, pyrin vain pitämään ne kaukana sinusta.

Is having an obvious search bar on a website passé?

Spent way too long looking on two sites this morning and either it's been hidden really well, or it's not there. #UI #UX

Update: found one hiding in the *hamburger menu* which I had no reason to click on the first site... second site, bupkes.

Dear @404mediaco,
You are doing the thing which annoys me the most

#UI #UX #webdev

OK, wow...! - I've been saying nice-ish things about #Qobuz but I think they just broke their search & filtering (or I'm just now noticing) 😬

I mean, tell me: If you search for a specific artist by name & select "Releases", would you not expect to see that artist's albums?

Dunno, maybe you expect an endless list of playlists & compilations featuring any match, however partial, to the artist's name & I'm the weird one. Don't really think so though.

are there any ‘good’ #WordPress + #WooCommerce self-host alts? 😩

i want to be rid of Automattic, but my options are limited on a shared server…

i _yearn_ for low maint & simplified UX

i'd like to attempt #ActivityPub WP integration but… spam, security, mgmt

Woo is bloated & the WP #UI / #UX continues to devolve

my ideal would be to nix all ecomm & have a gallery/art rep, but i could be delusional…

> i need art sales + social marketing <

not another barrier

💻 🤷🏽

#Tech #Web

All of this is fine, the #selfhosting community is used to this kind of caveats and workarounds, but to me it shows that us #developers do not want to think beyond the technical parts.

#UX #UI? afterthought.

We complain a lot about how many #opensource projects are not being adopted, and one of the key reasons is that they just look plain awful and/or its UI is simply unusable.

Pet peeve: when you have an account but they only show a sign up button on the homepage. Such stupid and pointless friction for existing customers. #ux

I believe good #UX should explain itself without a single word.

I just came across this #UX and #usability masterpiece. Which checkbox is checked?

Too many overflows reporting Gmail spam

https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/05/too-many-overflows-reporting-gmail-spam/

What does the humble ⋮ symbol mean to you?

To geeks, it is a compelling attraction. Something cool and esoteric lives in there! All sorts of goodies to explore and configure.

To normal people, it is invisible. Normal people don't go pushing random icons on their apps because computers are fragile and may break if you do the wrong thing.

To me, it is a sign that product managers are a menace and must be stopped. A hundred thousand icons vying for your attention have been stuffed away because no one has the authority to prioritise user needs.

As a | user who has received some spam

I want to | easily report it as spam

So that | Google's AI can become ever stronger my inbox is easier to manage

How do you report spam? On the web, it is possible if you're prepared to enter the forbidden lair of ⋮. Click the one nearest the message and you'll see:

But there is no "report spam" button in the Gmail app. Try to find it. I promise you it isn't there.

No, not even behind the door of mysteries which is ⋮. See:

Ah ha! FOOLISH USER!! You thought that you could transfer a mastered skill from one environment to another? You are an idiot. A buffoon. The Eloi at Google mock your Morlock ways.

Here is the report spam button in the Gmail app - hidden in the top ⋮ menu!

And, just for completeness, here's what the top ⋮ on the web has.

Why?!

Why do the Monkey-Punchers at Google have such scorn for its users? Is it because their illegal monopoly means they don't have to compete for users? Do their perverse internal politics only reward employees for adding features, not removing them? Perhaps the web team and the app team are engaged in holy war around a doctrinal schism over icon placement?

We may never know.

OK, but why?

Why do the overflows on the web have icons but on the Android app they're barren?

Why is the order of the options completely different on both?

Why are the names different for the same functions?

We can only assume that the web team are Montagues and the app team Capulets.

What is going on?

Moving a UI from the big screen to the small screen is difficult. Some options aren't relevant in either context. Some labels are too big. Some prioritisation needs to happen. I accept that.

But users only have limited cognitive plasticity. They have a mental model of how a UI works and they expect it to be reasonably consistent.

I keep making the same mistake. Whether I'm on the web or app, I always go to the wrong option! This makes me feel like an idiot. I have a hundred apps to use, each with subtly different UIs - I can't be expected to keep them all straight. But I do expect the a common set of paradigms if the services are under the auspices of a single company.

Why are there two ⋮ menu options? I think the top relates to the conversation whereas the second relates to the specific message? But maybe I'm wrong.

Two out of three ain't bad

I lied earlier. There's a third way to report spam.

On the web, hover over one of the mysterious small icons - the ones with ridiculously thin lines and low contrast - and you'll be rewarded with this:

Make it make sense!!

You know, I'd probably be more chill & willing to shrug off all this #UX stuff that I keep ranting about, except for the fact that for every last example of stupid & shitty UX I've ever had to contend with, I have also experienced that same thing done reasonably to decidedly well. I'm not just fantasizing better ways.

It pisses me off because I know for a fact that it's unnecessary & thus due to incompetence, laziness, deliberate choice or some combination of all three.

Stravasta on näköjään kadonnut salasanalla kirjautumisen mahdollisuus.

En tiedä, kenen idea oli ensimmäisenä toteuttaa kirjautuminen lähettämällä sähköpostia, mutta voitaisiinko vain sopia, että se on aika syvältä.

No, vahvistaa entisestään ajatusta luopua Stravasta.
