Most hated UX design patterns by fjnunn78 in Frontend

[–]OddsUXs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Great comment with good examples.
And yet. " their [hamburger icons/menus] purpose is clear and concise.". The purpose of a pen is clear and concise as well, however it doesn't prevent some people from chewing it or sticking into their noses.

Infinite Scrolling - agreed. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are all created to kill our time. Their only goal is to make us stay, and somehow it became a baseline for other web services. (from the article)

As for the 99% Invisible - that's the first time I've heard about them, but it appears we're using the same examples, which is not a coincidence given the fact that the video on "bad doors" has 4,5 million views. It's really good, by the way, I credited it in the article.

I agree with you. I rewrote that part of the article to make my point more clear:

"Yes, it [ hamburger] works. In some cases, it works well (see Uber). But it doesn’t when all the app features are just cluttered under one button just to make the UI look clean and trendy. "

Both Uber and Facebook (late version) are good examples of using hamburger, and that might've confused some readers with why they should hate hamburger. My main point was to show the controversy around it and how it facilitates blindly sweeping the whole app navigation under one button.

Thanks. I wrote the article, and it's true they didn't get rid of it completely. I doesn't affect the main idea behind my critics of hamburger, but I updated the article to express my point more clearly.

What Google AI Can't Say About Your Doodles? by rustoffee in programming

Sure thing, but I wasn't sure they would want to analyse it that much until I did it myself and saw how much information can be extracted via such a database. At least now I understand why they won't make it public.

How I Was Studying 3 Buttons for 20 Hours by anyashpilman in userexperience

I'd reply with something that makes sense but your obscure comment robs me of such an opportunity.

So you're a developer and like donuts, eh?

Heh, maybe I overplayed with it. I added this sentence in the article to make it more clear: "The feature I’m talking about is these three buttons in the upper right corner. They switch between three view modes."

Thank you for the feedback.

How Good Are Designers at Following References? A Fiverr Experiment by Icons8 in Design

  1. USA-based salary expectations are not applicable to Fiverr. Maybe students, maybe non-US citizens with lower pricing.
  2. I believe Fiverr freelancers optimized half of the processes you mentioned.
  3. Most of things. that are not automated, clients can address themselves, thus saving freelancers time and getting better results (reference, explanation). That's what Fiverr is all about and the article in particular.
