UX

UX I like:

• Keyboard shortcuts.

  • Plus points if it follows vim scrolling

  • Plus points if it reuses familiar shortcuts

UX I hate:

• Over use of Modal dialogs

  • Some Modal dialogs should be pages

  • Some Modal dialogs should rewrite browser url to a page that can load it

  • Modal dialogs are great for small interstitials, not whole pages

  • Don't block my screen with a modal dialog asking me to subscribe

• URLs that don't return back to a useful page

• Making websites that don't fit in a resolution of width of960x600

  • This is the resolution of half my laptop screen (1920x1200)

  • Worse is if you don't make it fit within width of 1280x720

  • https://github.com/aizatto/character-length

• Clickbait

• Don't ask me to download your mobile app

• When asking people to enter something difficult (ie, short urls) and not using base58

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base58

• Preventing me from using the back/forward button

• Stupid password limits

• Making it difficult to unsubscribe

Phone Notifications

Don't spam my phone with marketing notifications. I know you can't get my attention via email spam, so don't spam me unless I ask for it.

Region Locking

Apps that restrict you to a particular country, with no good reason

For example, I am on the US Apple App Store, but I can't download the Starbucks Malaysia App.

Malaysia Culprits:

• Starbucks (Both iOS and Android)

  • I don't understand why they can't use the US App itself

• Speedrent

• Uniqlo
