Clara L.I'm giving the new Kingdom Come: Deliverance II a try and as a UI/UX designer I'm having a fit. It's awful. I'm raging.Inconsistent capitalization. Inaccessible color contrast and font sizes. Poor discoverability. Densely packed information screens. Illegible iconography. Bad typography. Menus are overwhelming and there's so much cognitive overload. I can appreciate their attempts at progressive disclosure in the tutorial phase but the rest is just so inexcusably bad.It's like they leaned too hard into Ye Olde Skeumorphism while simultaneously throwing the idea of familiar patterns right out the window. And who cares about information overload??<a href="https://beige.party/tags/uidesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uidesign</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/badui" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#badui</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/gamedesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gamedesign</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/uxdesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uxdesign</a>

wrosecransGoogle stuck so many "helpful" labels on the subject line of this email in GMail that there is only one complete word from the subject left, and that word is just "New"When you've taken all of the information away, it's not actually helpful to clarify or emphasize it. There's nothing to clarify. This is a textbook example of a feature that sounded like a good idea, but the company would be better off never having released.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Enshittification</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BadUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BadUI</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Software</a>

wrosecransRemember when Slack used to be... a pretty straightforward chat app? Channels were on the left, chats were on the right. Logged into Slack today for the first time in a while, and it's kind of stunning how much of the UI is just not about the content of the core use case. Pop ups and "improvements" and additions obscure everything. It's a busy mess.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UI</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Slack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Slack</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Enshittification</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BadUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BadUI</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SoftwareDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftwareDesign</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Software</a>

🇨🇦 Michael Porter 🇨🇦Oh, this is a gem of bad UI - Apple, of all companies, breaking the "if it looks like a thing, it should act like a thing" rule, in this case radio buttons.I present to you, the "antibutton" - you can click anywhere *except* the actual button to indicate your choice!<a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/BadUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BadUI</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/BadUX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BadUX</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Bug" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bug</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macOS</a>

Baloo UrizaTruncating posts at four lines of three words a piece when quoted for context sure was a choice, and not a good one.

🇨🇦 Michael Porter 🇨🇦There’s a *ton* of room on my laptop screen for messages like this, but Apple seems to want me to get my reading glasses and squint like I was looking at my iPhone 🙄<a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macOS</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Sequoia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sequoia</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/BadUX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BadUX</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/BadUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BadUI</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a>

MTPI just noticed that Spotify isn't putting my 2 new versions of my single "She's all of Me" on the main 'Singles' section of my artist page.

Pierre EquoyWe use <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> Meet for work-related meetings. It has features like "raising hand" (to ask permission to talk) and "reaction" (to send some animated emoji on the screen).And *every time*, someone will click "raise hand" when they actually wanted to select the "applaud" emoji from the "reaction" button.This is a really bad user experience, and it's been like that for years.

🇨🇦 Michael Porter 🇨🇦I’m helping my neice navigate her online math course. Isn’t the point of numbering things to make it easier? Unit 3 is Chapter 4, and Lesson 4 in Unit 3 is numbered 3.3? 🙄<a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/BadUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BadUI</a>

Rachel Wil Singh ~ Moos-a-dee<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/BadUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BadUI</a> - on Instagram I ALWAYS hit the big blue button once I've chosen a frame to use as a thumbnail for a short. But that's not the "Done" button! It's annoying.
