UI/UX Tip Instead of using generic text like "Type your reply" in placeholders, try being more specific. For instance, if you're replying to someone, include their name in the placeholder. This approach can be applied to many other situations as well.

If your users are going to make a mistake, make sure it's your fault, not theirs.

UI/UX Tip ⚡ A handy trick to standardize icons is to place them inside rectangles with fixed dimensions. This method helps compensate for inconsistencies when icons are of different sizes. By putting them into containers, you make them appear uniformly sized.

The most powerful CAPTCHA I've ever seen. Yes, the numbers are in plain text in HTML.

A or B?

Why? Just... why?

Awful UX. I don't get it, why 20% of a video is covered by who-knows-what. - Sometimes I can't see important parts of the video. - I never can find "the full video" when YouTubers ask for it. - I'm afraid to touch all of these text elements since they are clickable.

What a great CTA animation! 🤯

I'll just leave it here.

The best progress bar I've ever seen 😂

Nice accessibility tip 💡 The picture is taken from Smashing Magazine's article "How Accessibility Standards Can Empower Better Chart Visual Design" by Kent Eisenhuth.

Variable fonts 🥰

Do you ever feel this way? When you see a new CSS property, go to MDN, and then say to yourself, "Okay, is there an explanation for dumb people like me?" And go to a different site to find a description like it is for children? 😅

A login form of a construction company. I wonder how reliable their buildings are. 😅

Same problem. There should be a feed that shows me relevant content. Like "For You" on X. Not saying X always shows relevant content but BlueSky sometimes flooded by politics

Recently, I needed to order a birthday cake for someone in Japan. When I saw: - Number one candle - Number two candle - Number three candle It reminded me of the high life expectancy in Japan :)

Knowledge  ≠ Tools. Design is knowledge. Framer, Wordpress etc are tools. Don't mix them up.

For those who blame macOS Tahoe for bugs. Let me tell you how apps work in the country I live. Once, all users of the most popular bank got a push notification saying: "Bro, why are you bald huh?" Yes, they just tested something in production.

UI/UX Tip 💡 Put related elements together. I can change the alt text for some of the pictures here. But the arrows that take you to the next picture are at the top! Let alone the save button, it's typical for X to put CTA buttons where the close button should be.

Some people have trouble with the login screen. It's just a simple form, and putting two inputs in the middle of the screen feels boring. But there is a good way to make it look great.

A beautifully painted entrance 🥰

Can you guess what this map represents? Be honest: if you already know the answer, it doesn't count. 🙃

Oh sh..t 😮 A site that violates ALL design principles together.

I ran Baymard UX-Ray for my blog. I wonder what type of products I should list on my main page, together with recent orders. It's a blog guys.

A house entrance with gas pipes. Looks safe 🚬

Huge sticky header on an e-commerce site 🤌

What does "lock in" mean? Everyone started using it, and I'm a bit confused.

Bad UX. This text area is intended for special delivery instructions and has a 200-character limit. WHY? Are database text columns expensive? Sure, with a larger limit, one might write spam, but that doesn't mean it must be displayed in the admin panel.

A site you can't screenshot 😮 unscreenshottable.vercel.app/?text=Hello

Whenever I ask ChatGPT something it agrees with my opinion. Like a good, supportive friend 🥰

This is the whole form. Question: where is the zip code input? 👀

Why you should avoid center alignment in texts (with some exceptions)

Ads on the streets of Armenia, where I live.

Does anyone use contra.com? At first it seemed like a... "good" upwork alternative, but there are too many things going on when you sign up 😵‍💫

Is this spacing...okay? 🤔

I'll never understand this UX.

It's interesting that despite me being inactive, I still get new followers here. Not many, but somehow they find me. Hopefully they are not bots 😅

Does anyone know if there are analytics showing that social media activity drops in the summer? I'm curious if it picks up a lot in the fall or if the difference isn't that big 🤔 Like, really, if there is a big difference?

It would be cool to be able to reorder these tabs with drag and drop. Right in the feed header, not in the settings.

Cool toggle 😎

UI variation of wall of love. Like that!

Nice UX from Kit. It checks whether the links in your newsletter are possibly broken. A perfect example of applying the "Error Prevention" usability heuristic.

Hey Google, can't find enough room for labels on the left to align the inputs? 🤔

This chart shows two important things.

Whenever my card bounces for insufficient funds, I end up with a repeat lineup of the same old cards. It's always because I need to add a new one or some other hassle, and here we are again.

UI/UX Tip ⚡ Always consider how lengthy your data may be. This is the most frequent thing I come across in UIs. I believe I can gather a collection large enough to make a site with such examples from big companies. Especially in the mobile version of Gmail.

ElevenLabs introduced AI generated music. Any genres, styles, with or without vocals, in multiple languages. Even with the API for that.

I still don't get why SEO is a thing when: - Many people use ChatGPT - Others get AI-generated responses in SERP that take up the whole screen In my opinion, having a personal blog is useful for brand awareness, viral articles, proof of knowledge but not for SEO.

Do you have a set of tools you use for making UI/U Reviews? 1. Something where you put comments on screens (Figma shareable files?) 2. Some kind of a table or a list of issues (prioritized) that needs to be fixed 3. Video? If anyone has any examples, would love to see them!

Seriously?
