@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!

#YouTube #WatchLater #Bookmark

@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.

#Button #MicrosoftStore

@nikitonsky: Get details how? By clicking Dismiss?

@nikitonsky: It’s good to have fallback... s?
