I just accidentally clicked the “clear all” on the browser URL and wished that it was a bit harder to click but was still there. If it took three clicks to make happen, its still useful in most circumstances but would drastically drop the mistaken clicks
Anyway, what are your unpopular UI opinions?
Look how angry it makes people! I use light mode exclusively, dark mode hurts my eyes. Other geeks have an aneurysm when they look at my screen. I honestly think they lose respect for me (among other reasons).
We do.
I know it’s incorrect, and an unfair assumption, but whenever I see someone using light mode for anything, I assume it’s because they don’t know how to change it.
Even my terminal windows are light mode. You would think that would show that I know how to do things, but nope.
Hilariously, I’m the one who implemented dark mode for my company’s product, and am well known for that since it made so many people happy. When they see my UI they’re horrified, like learning about Santa Claus or Jesus.
That’s like Hank Hill finding out that Bob Strickland uses an electric oven.
That’s fair. I live under the assumption that dark mode users don’t know how to change the brightness level.
We don’t.
Why change perfection?
