@nikitonsky: Not sure why but on Figma home screen there are three buttons to create new document. They all work differently (selection screen, dropdown, immediate action) but eventually create the same empty document.

@nikitonsky: No wonder nobody can remember what these icons mean

@nikitonsky: Yo dawg! I heard you like tables in your tables, so we added tables to your tables!

Thanks Gamlor for the picture

@nikitonsky: Very classy, Spotify

@nikitonsky: Famous Apple quality. Clicking on Apple Coverage:

- Selects Apple Coverage (That’s what you expect, because everything else in left panel works like that)
- Then selection goes back to Account
- Finally selection jumps to General (?)
- A window with a spinner appears. It’s empty but still overflows the parent window.
- It has a Done button in it (Done what? Done with waiting? Because, by definition, I have not accomplished anything by watching spinner)
- Something takes a long time to load
- Finally, content loads, and window changes size! And layout! Buttons are all different?
- Exiting popup (!) window navigates you away from where you were in main window
- Somehow it manages to shows another spinner there

@nikitonsky: No wonder I could never remember where the Save button is.

Pro tip: keep controls at the same place so that your users can form a habit

#YouTube #Watchlist #Save

@nikitonsky: Pro tip: most users are unable to see invisible controls

Thanks @James_Kirk for the picture

@nikitonsky: Times I saved videos to Watch later playlist: thousands
Times I used save button to add videos to any other playlists: exactly zero

Come on Google, we deserve a separate “Watch later” button!

@nikitonsky: You know what? One notification system is enough. We don’t need three different color-coded types of notifications

#EpicGames #Notifications

@nikitonsky: Microsoft, no. Button text must be centered. In a world where any control can look like anything, this is the final rule that distinguishes one rectangle from another.

@nikitonsky: Get details how? By clicking Dismiss?
