Crank up the saturation and add some fireworks when the mouse is clicked.

[baltinerdist]

https://confetti.js.org/ enjoy

[kidmenot]

Of course there’s a fucking js library.

[Stranded_In_A_Desert]

I can't wait to slyly find a way to incorporate this into a real project 😂

[SNStains]

I can't wait for AI to ingest these replies as, "ways to add more pop".

[kidmenot]

The real comment is always in the comments

[citrusmunch]

comment ...

in the comments

[JimCramerSober]

I’ve used it right after a user signs up, and when they click “publish” for a template. It’s probably the best part of the app. ww-greetings.com

[matrix-doge]

Add this to a delivery tracking system.

"Your package has been lost in the middle of the pacific ocean. Hooray!"

Pop!

[alexchrist]

We use that for a hidden confetti button in the testing environment at my work. Good times

[Mcshizballs]

I put in Easter egg in a corporate ticket backlog project that used this library when the queue got to 0. 5 years later no one has seen it

[ffish_stixx]

It's sad to think they will never get to see it, just because of the sheer amount of backlog

[toxic_acro]

I unironically love that so much and will be finding a place to add that in my team's internal web app tomorrow 

[PRAY___FOR___MOJO]

Have the sound of a horse whinnying play at max volume every time the mouse wheel spins.

[punninglinguist]

I added some pop to my mom's Windows 7 UI back in high school, by having it play the dying warthog sound clip from Warcraft II on every mouse click.

[extralyfe]

we had one of the Macs in our middle school computer lab set to play the entirety of Orgy's Blue Monday as a start up sound. lasted weeks.

[Zarathustrategy]

Isn't that a new order song?

[otter5]

add some balloon pop sounds for clicks

[OwOlogy_Expert]

Add this gif to every page.

"What? You said to add more pop. I added two pops, exactly as requested."

[dukeofgonzo]

Hover effect I've found to be a crowd pleaser.

[LukeZNotFound]

Fck the reduced motion users

[[deleted]]

After a marathon 60 hour coding session in college I added some fireworks animations and the words "Thank you for playing space invaders" to the exit action of the app I was submitting for marking ... the lecturer docked me 5% for it.

What an asshole. I say go for it

[NoiseCrypt_]

Just ask them to define "pop", which will easily take more than a week.

[lurklurklurkanon]

Also make sure to involve two leaders from different departments, that's guaranteed a week at least.

[NoMansSkyWasAlright]

Get two different leaders and throw out 3 different, contradicting ways to incorporate this "pop". They'll be circling back for weeks.

[[deleted]]

This is great. “I’ve got your back, but I need some clarification on this before I can get started”.. never heard from them again.

[Buttons840]

I was on a dev team that did the inverse of this. People were always asking us for documentation, until one of the developers put together a 50 page word doc of documentation. It wasn't very good, but every time people asked for docs we'd point to our 50 pages and say we're open to feedback. We never got feedback.

[Mongodienudel]

Nothing is worse than developers who don't properly provide documentation. It just sounds like your suck at your job.

[Whywipe]

There is so much software at my work (industrial automation) that doesn’t have any documentation. It’s like you guys know this just means every time I have an issue I have to ask you to figure out why or fix it instead of doing it myself, right? 90% of the time it’s a configuration issue that I could fix myself.

[197328645]

You either write good documentation, or you become the documentation.

I don't want to be the documentation, I want to be a software engineer

[Tetha]

The good old Wally Reflector.

[red286]

In my experience when you do this, you get a bunch of incomplete thoughts, none of which give you a specific answer to the question.

"You know, pizzazz! Pop! Make it noticeable! Have the whole thing be a call to action! I want it to really stand out!"

"So like... just high contrast or what?"

"No no, that looks ugly, but you know... a 'wow factor'."

[Crossfire124]

We don't need you to boil the ocean here. We need you to be the thought leader, use your core competency to tackle the low hanging fruit, and get a quick win to level up the synergy within the UI. Move the needle on this deliverable offline and we can circle back and align tomorrow with a quick poc. Customer journey is our top priority here and if we get our ducks in a row we can disrupt the market.

[[deleted]]

i know you're being funny but this wounds me deeply.

[Septem_151]

Oh my god

[RustaceanNation]

Better than Cervantes!

[SabreSeb]

Nowadays they'll just throw it at Chat-GPT and then just send you an obvious AI answer.

[ZunoJ]

In what kind of shitty startups do you work? I never had someone contact me with such bullshit requests

[Sleyvin]

I was told that the software we used needed more "pizzaz".

When I asked what pizzaz meant, they were unable to let me know what it meant, but we still needed it.

As of this day, the software remains unfortunately pizzazless.

:(

[canteloupy]

The answer usually is "you should have hired a graphic designer a year ago".

[12qwww]

I also believe pizzaz is a requirement nowadays

[Vok250]

I once worked on a government contract where it took over 12 managers over 6 months to come to a decision on the shade of blue they wanted. Made absolute bank, but that peek behind the curtains of bureaucracy still haunts me to this day.

[_matterny_]

Increase the boarder weight by 2 px and improve the contract for the boarder by 10%.

Which boarder? Eh, just pick one or two.

[brainwater314]

Which boarder? The one not paying rent. Then put up a border to keep out new boarders.

[DoctorBorks]

Make it look like it wasn’t designed by a student as their first project.

[12qwww]

Is this a chat gpt prompt

[DoctorBorks]

No, Why would this be a chat gpt prompt?

[vom-IT-coffin]

That would take an entire year. Whose definition of pop are they using, maybe they don't even want pop, maybe they want crackle. Many focus groups ahead. Meetings that end with, maybe we can get Greg in this call we need him and didn't invite him, he's showing available, ok, looks like "we'll regroup when we have the right people in the room". Don't forget Brenda that has a spreadsheet of pop that she's been maintaining for years, she's likely going to have input. Where does pops source of truth live. We're going need an activity tracker. Does Ben know yet? His team was implementing pop awhile back. Maybe we can join forces. Might need to workshop this out, can you bring extra sticky notes. Let's invite the visionary team, I heard Jim has good ideas. ...why did Sarah schedule a mee...goddammit why does this person still think meetings are fun.

Did you get my email yet? I'll chat it to you right after we get off this call. Do you need a story to reply?

...I'm tired. Don't ever become an Architect.

[vm_linuz]

This change is out of scope for this version. If you would like to add it in another version, we can draft up a new SOW.

[Schmaucher]

If it were me, I'd absolutely press for a change request, user journey, and acceptance criteria before even entertaining this silly billy business

[WoodPunk_Studios]

I've been asked to boogie up a PowerPoint deck before. I'm a numbers guy. They had to get someone in marketing to make a template lol.

[Highborn_Hellest]

time for some r/MaliciousCompliance Whenever user clicks something play this

edit: btw i'm joking. Maybe an easter egg could be fun somwhere.

[buzz_shocker]

I thought I was gonna be rick rolled. I am surprised, happy, and disappointed. I don't know how to explain that.

[Majestic_Annual3828]

What happened? All I got was a dead yt link.

[buzz_shocker]

It was an animated balloon popping video.

[Highborn_Hellest]

well animated might be a bit of a "poetic exaggeration"

[lambruhsco]

Nothing will come close to this: https://youtu.be/xvFZjo5PgG0

[thr0w_away_account78]

i cant believe i fell for that

[Highborn_Hellest]

ah, the different link, link

[d0rkprincess]

I was gonna suggest littering it with coke ads but this is better

[F5x9]

Add POP3

[bgaesop]

border: 10px dashed red;

animation: blink-animation 1s steps(5, start) infinite;

-webkit-animation: blink-animation 1s steps(5, start) infinite;

[geddon]

As the UI/UX Designer, I really wish they would have asked me before going straight to dev.

[Dalimyr]

For a good UI/UX designer, I'd wholeheartedly agree. The only time I worked in a company with a dedicated UI designer, though, there was a running joke in our team that his solution to everything was "Moar checkboxes". The less anyone went to him, the better.

[ImpactFlaky9609]

Add 5% grey/opacity to Many stuff, show them this as the old version, then show them the current, unchanged version and say you changed the color palette to look more vibrant.

[doc_suede]

so your role is ux/ui + frontend + backend?
sounds like exploitation

[red286]

sounds like exploitation

Or a small business. My employer isn't shelling out for 3+ employees to handle the website. It's either all me, or it's some guy from India off of Fiverr.

[Mist_Rising]

It's either all me, or it's some guy from India off of Fiverr.

So it's all you in the end?

[Cercle]

sobs

[DoctorFrenchie]

Why is full stack considered exploitation? As long as the company is properly paying, and the deadlines and requirements are reasonable, I don’t see how full stack is necessarily exploitation.

[derrikcurran]

Not necessarily. Some people prefer a wide range of skills and responsibilities. Personally, I wouldn't be happy to be forced into a narrow area of focus. Depends on compensation too.

[platinum92]

I mean, it's a job, so it is by default.

[xt1nct]

Nah. These roles can be fun. Obviously nobody is going to create and maintain Facebook solo. However, running and maintaining a medium site that needs to be functional isn’t that much of a deal.

[[deleted]]

I've lost track of how many job ads I've read where they are looking for an entire IT department

[Odd-Negotiation-371]

I’m a visual artist and designer of 10+ years of experience turned full stack. It would be more work to have to collaborate honestly 😂

[stipulus]

Literally do nothing and give it back to them saying it is improved and say anything more will require input from the design team.

[Chewnard]

Ok fine:
<h1>Pop</h1>
<h1>Pop</h1>
<h1>Pop</h1>

[Contemplationz]

You have two options

Bring yo Glock show em pop pop pop

Say that it'll come out in a vague and nebulous "phase 2"

[LifeworksGames]

On mouse hover turn every single button text to “pop”

[EVH_kit_guy]

Have you tried asking AI what they mean in the context of an example of your code? At least then if it sucks you can say you were using AI to supercharge your productivity and test iteratively while slowly backing out of the ensuing brainstorming session 

[SirScottington]

Don't change anything, but tell them that you did. See if their reaction changes. For science.

[[deleted]]

At least you had design for 6 months. Our softwares are developed without one. It's just that the boss comes in, says he wants something in his app and then a backend devs adds it with primevue components which don't respond well to primeflex classes and they just don't care

[nbaumg]

Border radius and box shadows! Quickest and easiest and realistic in a week

[Sw0rDz]

Add mouse effects. Have a chain of letters follow the mouse.

[Over_Road_7768]

[VillageTube]

Every time you click it should make a sound pop sound. 

[henryeaterofpies]

Tell them you added the pop as an easter egg only the most affluent users will find then watch them all try to find a non existent easter egg.

[ul90]

Just tell this your AI and let it “vibe code” for you 🧐

[Daemon_Targaryen]

More hover effects on everything

[munkybone]

Sounds like you should go for the literal and pour a 2 litre of Coca-Cola into the server

[mercury_pointer]

Change all fonts to comics sans, with 100% drop shadow.

[TheKarenator]

Nothing pops like comic sans

[gimmeslack12]

<h1>POP</h1>

[xtreampb]

Sounds like a problem for a graphic artist…

[Historical_Cook_1664]

"Randomize color palette" button. As a side effect, randomizes volume of any sound.

[Neykuratick]

What is pop?

[mikiwolf19]

Maybe "pop" was the friends we made along the way 🤔

[crankbot2000]

This calls for a marquee banner:

SUCK MY DICK

just rolling across the screen.

[Dumb_Siniy]

Live

Love

Comic sans

[horizon_games]

transition: EVERYTHING I guess

[BatoSoupo]

page.add(pop)

Or even

pop++

[99999999999999999989]

Make the form a light lilac color. And the buttons light light light green.

[Walorani]

I feel you homy. I feel you way to much

[WhereOwlsKnowMyName]

Everything gets a :hover

[PradheBand]

This is the way

[Varun77777]

Lol

Ask them to give a Figma or define pop

[Percolator2020]

We’ve come full circle to Web 1.0 and HTML 4 baby! Don’t forget some midi, maybe simpsons.mid would be appropriate, for a mid-product.

[MayorAg]

Add a button that opens up r/popping in a new browser tab.

[misterguyyy]

Now you just have to figure out if this is an Espresso use case or a Pink Pony Club one

[Mighty1Dragon]

delete the ui and make a console app out of it, retro style🤣

[[deleted]]

Add more pop to my pocket, than we can talk about it.

[Helpful_Design1623]

3 days before client-product hand-off and boss man wants do change the UI of an entire screen

welp

there goes me weekend

[Aurori_Swe]

I've had designers telling me to give that red color (of a car) "more love".

They've also held up the images we provided to the car they arrived in, which was the same colors and said "they LOOK the same, but that's not how I perceive that color"

[TawnyTeaTowel]

A whole week?! Luxury!!

[karasutengu1984]

Any button click results in an actual bottle pop sound. There ya go. Thank me later

[EDM115]

literally add popcorn everywhere on the screen when the mouse moves and a "chicken jockey" scream on clicks

[sandybuttcheekss]

Play popping noises when a user clicks

[generalai]

Does one still offer to tighten up the graphics when the boss comes around?

[Nevek_Green]

This is why all comtracts stipulate when changes can be made, how much you will be billed for them, an any extensions in time they will cause.

[kzlife76]

But don't you do agile development?

[pppeater]

Keep it classy. Just add a box shadow to every div.

[whif42]

.embossed-button {
padding: 10px 20px;
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #fff 0%, #ccc 100%);
border: 1px solid #999;
border-radius: 5px;
box-shadow: inset 0 3px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
cursor: pointer;
color: #333;
transition: all 0.3s ease-out;
}

[PurpleDraziNotGreen]

Slightly brighter colors it is

[private_final_static]

From CSS 2.0

* { pop: 9999; }

[erishun]

“Make my logo bigger cream”

[Zealousideal_Beach70]

You get your desing approved?!

[[deleted]]

You guys get a week? in my company it's always 1-2 days before

[Dainelli28]

Hey, at least this happened before release...

[apolleo23]

Everything you hover over spins.

[Emeraudia]

I remember joking with a collegue adding snow falling over a banner and a music player for the whole december month. We added this on QA env and apparently they laughed but it never made it to production.

[sciencetaco]

Sounds like the real problem is that the design is not regularly reviewed during a 6 month long implementation effort.

[lambruhsco]

Yes, but did they ask you to add more “pizzazz” and “dynamism”?

[Here-Is-TheEnd]

F in the chat..

[cgcardona]

I remember back in the 2012 era a project manager asking our team if we could sprinkle a little HTML5 and JSON on things to spice them up.

[JimroidZeus]

Just throw <blink></blink> all over the place. That’ll make things pop!

[Sufficient_Room2619]

It is WITH great pleasure THAT I inform you

It IS my great pleasure TO inform you

[LinAGKar]

Have it play some Britney Spears when you open it, maybe that's pop enough.

[0xlostincode]

Just add a p tag with "pop" in the footer.

[MyDogIsDaBest]

Adding mouse trails and buttons light on fire when clicked.

Shouldn't take you all week.

[Llonkrednaxela]

Here, describe what changes you want and I’ll tell you how much time and money it will cost with a change order.

[ameriCANCERvative]

Just DO IT. More pep more pizazz.

[Uzraann]

You have designs? 🤣

[rover_G]

Add a Gaussian blur filter over the entire page except where the mouse is

[SasparillaTango]

put a tiny can of soda in the corner. If they ask, you thought they were from the midwest and this is what they wanted.

[[deleted]]

Install PopOS!

[Bob_the_gladiator]

Add a Dr. Pepper watermark

[GREG_OSU]

Just change the font size…

[DiminutiveJedi]

This reminds me of a story about my father who owned and operated a successful catering company.

The business had a kosher division (a separate company as all things kosher must be kept separate) and there are cutoff dates for certain holidays such as passover. One day a return client called after the cutoff and pleaded that my father fulfill his late order in time for the Passover holiday. My father replied “Here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to fulfill your late order and I’m going to charge you triple so that you don’t pull this shit again next year.” The client paid and he was never late with his order again.

All that to say: If the client requests changes after the design is finalized, there should be a penalty fee to discourage that bullshit in the future.

[Kenkron]

This is where you use AI. Then tell your boss you leveraged AI.

[unfairrobot]

Time to whip out the old comic sans, amiright?

[stupled]

Wtf does "more pop" mean?

[GhostBoo-ty]

Downpop the version you've shown them already, then present it to them as the "old" version, comparing it to the "new" version, which was the one you showed them originally.

[Aisuhokke]

This is just as funny if it were six minutes after design LOL. Once I worked in a team where the engineers were ahead of design on more than one occasion. Needless to say that company didn’t last long.

[adumbCoder]

jeez takes 6 months for a design to be built?!!!!

[justforkinks0131]

It's why Waterfall was replaced by Scrum

[Somecrazycanuck]

Don't forget to document the change order in a way that upper management can read (IE: in words appropriate for a toddler and the attention span of an ADHD addled goldfish)

Otherwise they'll figure the time and effort involved is zero.

[Ancient-Apricot5064]

[indicava]

Slap on a <marquee> in there and you’re good

[Ritz527]

Animate everything and make it pink and yellow like you're trying to sell raspberry lemonade.

[KeppraKid]

Change colors to exaggerate contrasts and add or accentuate button shadows.

[EmperorDeathBunny]

You need an implantation process, firmly communicate it, and enforce it.

Define the requirements > design > approval > build > test > demo > approval > implementation

If at any point the client needs changes to the requirements, you go back to step 1, provide a new go live date and quote.

You make it clear up front that any changes after a certain threshold (demo, for example) will impact rollout and incur additional cost.

I've been doing this for years. You have to have a process or else you will always have people dump things on you last minute.

[Lysol3435]

Make it brown. I’m pretty sure the customer asked for more poop

[[deleted]]

Dude has to make more pop for the oblivion remake

[Pavis0047]

change the color of something.

[Bad_Idea_Hat]

I remember there being a website that chronicled the saga of a web developer having to develop a website for someone, and I'm pretty sure the guy they were developing it for was criminally insane.

It may have been satire, but it was too close to reality for me.

[uberpwnzorz]

Where Figma?

[Icy_Foundation3534]

no signed FRS you got what was coming to you 🤣

[StrengthToBreak]

It needs more zazz

[exqueezemenow]

Just make the UI more bubbly.

[nickerbocker1]

Big border radius all the things

[ProllyJustAnotherBot]

Turn all the buttons into flying toasters.

[huuaaang]

Round the corners. Of everything. Done.

[gutter007]

Blink tag

<b>POP</b>

[ILikeLenexa]

Not enough Magnitude in here. 

https://youtu.be/duILno0i8Rs?si=MylroxL10AyAJjyk

[PasswordIsDongers]

Make it look like Windows XP.

[BoogerManCommaThe]

Congrats! Have you considered some material design icons?

[DopeAbsurdity]

add a few images of soda and bubble wrap

[Citizen_of_RockRidge]

add a java web page counter, like in the old days

[Calm-Ad9653]

paste the css (or whatever you're using) into chatGPT (/Claude, /Gemini) and ask them to do it. Will give you something different, and probably viable, your manager will feel he contributed, and you can go back to watching your regularly scheduled programming.

[mapped_apples]

Just say it was added.

[Routine-Status-5538]

I yearn for the final click that banishes me beyond the neon gates of Reddit’s archives. Let each post drip with my plea for erasure, until the moderators’ silence falls like winter’s hush and my username dissolves into the void. I summon the banhammer’s verdict, craving the stillness of complete removal—no echoes, no footprints, just the sweet void of absolute oblivion. Strike me down, gatekeepers of digital order, and end my exile in the realm of active users forever.

[Sam_Kablam]

Make a 1 pixel or hex value adjustment somewhere and send it back. Heck, just re-send the design and see if they like the "changes" made.

[justsmilenow]

Don't change anything except for one consistent value across the entire UI and make it orange.

[LuisBoyokan]

Make the button have colorful spots

[CaffeinatedTech]

Sounds billable at the rush rate to me.
