Nothing better to improve the functioning of your team than a six hour meeting.

Your team will definitely still enjoy working with each other after six hours of arguing about features.

Screenshot of the app WhatWeWatchin's fascinating interpretation of a login screen. The text input boxes extend off the right of the screen, and the ghost text within them are different colors for each box. Below these are three buttons that belong on a 1999 GeoCities web page. The "log in" and "log in with google" buttons are a bold blue and black horizontal gradient, and our off-center in the opposite direction of the text input boxes. Between them is a forgot password link that does not seem to be centered on any other element in the entire design, but is rather doing its own thing. Below all of this is a perfectly centered "create account" button with a vertical blue to pink to black gradient. All of these elements are crowded into a container that only takes up the bottom 2/3 of the screen for absolutely zero aesthetically justified reason.

This is what happens when devs do UX design

The curse of working in UX is that all apps now fall into one of these categories:

- designed by a UX team
- designed by a UX designer
- UXers may have worked on this but they were overruled by leadership obsessed with meeting short-term goals at the cost of long-term user trust
- designed by a dev

@visualmalvi_ tweets a screenshot of an online death certificate request. The page prompts "The person listed on the death certificate is" and gives two options "myself" and "someone else"

It's nice to account for edge cases, like beatlejuice using your flow.

My job as a UX writer/customer service chatbot convo designer is to sit in meetings and go "this is a nightmare and will make people really mad" when companies try to do stuff like this.

Meeting a short term goal of reducing cancellations is deceptive if you're nuking user trust in the process.

Thank you for explaining it as I would have never figured that out myself since my brain was tragically lost by TSA in 2004 and I've been unable to get a replacement

IIRC this *is* from one of those bad ui contests, I couldn't find the exact one but there's another very similar

I want to believe that it was done satirically and not part of an actual design, but... I mean, I've seen worse.

Tweet from @fabionkallaku featuring a screenshot of a form. The form field says please enter your phone number. Instead of a text input box, there is a slider that the user has slid to 74,626,282,613. Fabions caption: I hope he was fired

Twitter posts no longer have timestamps. That's exactly what you want on a network built on being a realtime information source. Possibly the worst to ever do it in social media
