@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

#Button #MicrosoftStore

@nikitonsky: Get details how? By clicking Dismiss?

#Windows #CallToAction

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

#GoogleMaps #Zoom #Fallback

@nikitonsky: Exactly what I need when I open your app in a rush to rent a scooter. A promo banner!

Why do these people think I open their app? Casually on a couch, to check out what’s new with my favorite service? Completely delusional

#Dott #Banner #Popup #Ad

@nikitonsky: Generally speaking, main button should be brighter, despite the branding

#ApplePay #BVG #Button #Contrast #DarkMode

@nikitonsky: Everything I need is in a document I’m trying to open
