cold-calling the company that makes the required app for my building’s laundry and begging them to hire me to redesign their deeply broken app

@samhenrigold got very concerned that you doxxed yourself before noticing that they’re app store screenshots 😅

> Minute(s)

That's the universal way to tell that the developers just lack any semblance of giving a shit.

@grishka What drives me insane is that they didn’t need to write it like that. It’s never a single minute. This dialog only shows up when you’re adding a predetermined amount of time to a machine — that amount will never, ever be a single minute. It’s always 5 or 15 or 30 or something.

@grishka They shittified their app to defend against a state that will never happen. Madness.

@samhenrigold every single one of those buttons looks like a sketchy download button that’ll give me 300 viruses

@arthur I only looked into this because I really wanted a Siri Shortcut that checks the status of the machines downstairs before I schlep my laundry there. But, after really thinking about the state of the app, me making that feature request is the lowest priority thing I wanted fixed. I would be more bummed if they addressed the shortcut thing and left everything else as-is.

@samhenrigold Visual design looks like it is halted to iOS6->7 transitional era.

@samhenrigold every time i travel to a different time zone and open the app it asks if I want to sync the feeder with the current time zone.
