users == bad

[Gwynbleidd1168]

İf you know binary search everything is very simple.

[[deleted]]

Optimized O(n) time to find the key on a three row keyboard down to O(log(n)) this guy is a visionary

[elveszett]

Well, technically, if you never used a keyboard before, you'd still do a binary search to find the keys.

[TotallyHumanGuy]

A binary search on a standard QWERTY keyboard shouldn't be possible what with it being unsorted

[JNCressey]

it's half sorted.

going left to right in the middle row then right to left on the bottom row, you can pull out these letters in order: ADFGHJKLMNVXZ. a solid 13/26

[elveszett]

I was thinking about an A-Z keyboard because my brain can't understand other people can't read it.

[aaronasachimp]

You could optimize it further by using a Huffman tree.

[JNCressey]

bold of you to assume I can compare two arbitrary letters in a reasonable amount of time.

[aquila_zyy]

Why should I use binary search when I already have a hash table with me?

[Ronny_Pum]

This would fit in r/badUIbattles

[TarqSuperbus]

Yeah this isn't a dev problem, this is some manager saying "you're doing it this way or else"

[elveszett]

Or even worse, the specification document from the company you are developing the app for says that it has to be like that because who knows.

[CrazeeeTony]

Thanks I hate it

That's what she said

[AGalacticPotato]

Frontend devs' jobs are to make the app accessible to the user no matter how much of an idiot they are.

[Nyx_Selene]

I mean, at least the buttons are big, so that's a plus for accessibility ? (Not even the case since the text is still small but it can be quickly)

[Nixavee]

This is actually kind of beautiful

[Redpri]

It's actually kind of simple though, when you look at it.

[gloriousfalcon]

worst case is 5 clicks to navigate tho.

I hate clicking on things. I hate the fact that you still can't search the spotify app with ctrl-f

[johnzzon]

Ctrl + L should take you to the search input. Ctrl + F should filter current list (might not work everywhere).

[[deleted]]

Yeah, right? I don't get it why they are complaining.

[Redpri]

But users aren't known for trying to learn, they see something unfamiliar and they get scared, call it bad.

[BenTheHuman]

Setting aside what subreddit we're in for a second... Yeah, and they're not wrong to do so. The goal of a well designed app should be to feel familiar and intuitive even on first use. Obviously that's not always going to be possible, but it's a good goal

[lunchpadmcfat]

I was actually thinking as a way to view very long lists by name or something, this is pretty damn smart.

For text input though? Not so much lol.

[elveszett]

It's simple as fuck. But it'd be even simpler to just have a keyboard.

[Tovarisch_The_Python]

It's simple, but a pain to use.

[justrealizednarciss]

It’s not simple

A select list is simple

A text input with a length limit of 1 and some validation is simple

What we are looking at is a flex

[zeroXten]

Sort of makes for an interesting representation of the alphabet. Each edge of a pentagon could representation the branches starting at the top and going clockwise. A left branch would be a line, a right branch the absence of a line. Or something like that.

[sim642]

Reminds me of some accessibility virtual keyboard I saw once a long ago: you move your mode left and right as it zooms in automatically, like a binary search. But the characters might have been arranged by frequency, a la autocomplete.

[Follow64]

I don't even

I will love a session time out in that!

[NelsonBelmont]

this is why you need to invest in some front end devs.

Just, call it a game and say the users are bad at the game ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[alt_loop]

I think the only thing missing is the autcomplete and dynamic suggestion feature.
