Mis-App

Speaking of people who should be Super Soakered, who on Earth decided it was ever acceptable to have an app with text elements that can’t be selected?

(I’m looking at you, Instagram! I know you’re not the only offender, but you’re defenitely the worst.)

Design So Bad It’s Gaslighting

So there I am, reading someone else’s post on WordPress. I get to the bottom and start looking for the “like” button because I did, in fact, like it. I can see it’s been “liked” by about a hundred other people. I can even see which ones! And I can see that I’m logged in, so that shouldn’t be a problem.

And yet, there is no “like” button to be seen–no star, no heart, no thumbs-up, nothing. I look up. I look down. I look from side to side. It’s not anywhere!

I’m not sure if it’s me or the UI, but at least one of us is absolutely moronic.
