#UI design

[prokopetz]

Okay, so: there's a local restaurant whose online ordering process involves various selecting various sauces to be included with one's order – so many units of teriyaki sauce, so many units of hot sauce, so may units of peanut sauce, and so forth.

The idea is supposed to be that you can select any combination of sauces you want, as long as it adds up to no more than four units. However, what the app actually required is that you select exactly four units of sauces; it wouldn't let you submit the ordering form if the total wasn't exactly four.

Just today I discovered that they seem to have fixed it... not by correcting the errant validation rule, but by adding a "no sauce" option, which counts toward the required total of four.

Thus, it's now possible to place an order with, say, two units of teriyaki sauce rather than four by entering 2x "teriyaki sauce" and 2x "no sauce". Similarly, an order with no sauce at all is 4x "no sauce".

This is quite possibly the least intuitive ordering process I've ever encountered, and I've literally worked in e-commerce.

Y'know what'd be a great UI improvement?

Categorization of fonts. Especially if it's user-controlled. Put that shit in folders.

"Standard", "Web-safe", "Script", "Headers", "Retro PC"...

my tether indicator! an important bit of UI to get right in the big catch.

it not only communicates the distance from the tether as you approach, but also accommodates for several different states (locked on, tethered, offscreen, etc)

all of the big catch's UI is actual geometry driven by shape keys and physics springs!

@staff The new layout is appalling and the least you could do is let people opt out of it.

Get that "Check out these blogs" and "Radar" crap out of here. I know how to find people to follow and you are cluttering up my dash.

everyone STOP changing your UIs oh my fucking god

The fact that Bluesky's "pending notifications" counter only goes up to 30 suggests some very specific things about the usage patterns its designers were expecting.

when apps have a seemingly arbitrary blend of "go back" mechanisms, including

swiping from the left

swiping from the left but carefully not on a carousel

swiping from the top
