@nikitonsky Web page content layered to obscure other content. The OS already has windowing; don't reinvent and nest it. Pages want to be page-shaped.

@nikitonsky Endless scrolling pages with footer menus you need to catch.

Poorly built custom <select> menus.

@nikitonsky Developers who think the only valid characters in names are A-Z (ASCII, no accents permitted).

@nikitonsky
- custom JavaScript input field
- basically anything that could be native, but is reimplemented

@nikitonsky Email footers with images, ads and text that fills entire pages.

@nikitonsky Clickable UI elements that move after they appear on screen. Most commonly search results.

@nikitonsky disabled/non-functional password manager integration on mobile devices.
Death penalty for those who have a plaintext password entry which uses a font where each character is rendered as “•”

- Electron apps
- Desktop UIs made with touchscreens in mind
- Things being unnecessarily modal (see Telegram on desktop)
- Reimplementations of platform-provided controls

And of course: modal anything that appears on its own and forces the user to divert their attention from whatever goal they were pursuing. Onboardings, mailing lists, changelogs, all that crap you get in your face when you open an app or a website to do something.

@nikitonsky for vim propaganda, of course 😂

Smaller crimes:
- multiple search boxes on the same screen
- cmd+click doesn't open a new page, but acts as regular click
- when you cannot return to the previous page using the browser's back button

@nikitonsky Input boxes telling me I typed something wrong, when the input can fix this itself.

@nikitonsky @aslakr
— Buttons with «Read more»
— Center aligned paragraphs
— Key figures that «counts up»
— Making entire articles based on random people’s posts on X

@nikitonsky Scroll hijacking.
Round checkboxes. They are called boxes. Not circles. Swines!!

@nikitonsky
— Round avatars
— Login and password on separate pages
