 if you search for an app normally you can't long press to add it to your home screen etc. You have to flick up the app viewer and search there instead

you bastard! i saw your post and was going to make a thread but i started writing an actual OP with content and you beat me.  anyway here are three i had lined up. i assume this thread can be for both bad ux and bad ui? they are related, but different! this one is the control software we use for our CNC routers. position and command are always open, but are separate windows for some reason. keypad captures your input and you can't click on anything else while it is open. there is a fourth window, spindle speed, which has to be open for the machine to transfer spindle speed commands from the console to the machine. everything will run fine if it's not open, but the spindle will turn whatever speed it feels like and gently caress up your cut.  (yes, it still uses the win9x widgets even in windows 10) another fun aspect of this program is the job configuration pages, which are made to look like a yellow ruled notepad like you would have in a machine shop. i assume this was to try to make it easy for carpenters getting their first computer in 1995, and they just haven't updated it since.  here is a picture of some labview data collection abomination designed by a mechanical engineer. it's not my photo so i don't know much about it, other than to say that in academia i have often had to use similar pieces of homespun labview software, and being forced to by your supervisor or professor should be considered a cruel and unusual punishment.  finally, here is some software i last used about 10 years ago but i've never forgotten it. this is a program used to customize the look of your airplane in the il-2: 1946 flight simulator. i used it to put RCAF markings on planes that never flew with the canadians, but obviously the most popular function of this software is to put the swastikas back on the german planes so you can accurately roleplay as a nazi. there is only one annotation on this screenshot (the red box); everything else is exactly what the program looks like when you start it up.

all ux you're aware of is bad because you shouldn't notice good ux unfortunately a decade of steve jobs keynote addresses made product people and executives think users should experience "delight" while using computers

eeeehhh... expert systems and interfaces people use all day to do complex tasks can easily suffer from "intuitive syndrome" where trying to make it easy makes it worse because it adds steps, this is true a lot in financial software where people just want it to be as much like excel as possible and it's not really possible to wizard up editing an accounting calendar or coupon schedule

i just like that picture because it's a joke about ux, saying that good ux doesn't have to be explained, like a good joke, and then it explains the joke about ux

if I had time I'd change that to say "all truisms about ui/ux are false because there will always be exceptions based on the context, that's literally what design is, idiots" they should hire me to write greeting cards

there's this vast gulf between newbie UIs that emphasize discovery and guard rails and stuff and then expert UIs like clis and things like trading terminals and bridging that gap is really hard and no one does it, it's basically this usability bathtub curve That big thing some years back when everyone discovered chatbots was neat because chatbots can do a pretty good job straddling that gap. I saw this project a while ago that was bascially a CLI with a gui layered over it in what was basically intellisense for bash or whatever cli thing they were doing and i thought that was really good.

my guess is nobody does it because creating that kind of difficulty gradient would be multiples more expensive than doing both newbie and expert interfaces combined

posited: blender has a good UI software doing advanced tasks should be set up to make it streamlined for proficient users, not beginners that said idk. I have an inkling I could be good at this and in fact want to, but who knows. certain yospos characters repeatedly make it clear that working in a job ruins everything.

twitter has really hostile ux if you are not signed in if you click a twitter link, it pops up a giant "sign in / sign up" modal. you can close it and view the content fine, but if you click to expand an image or click a trending topic, it loads the new page and then displays the modal again. however if you close it a second time, it redirects you back to the first page. so you have to copy the url and open it in a new tab

not really ucks but I'm very familiar with the figma experience of letting you get involved in a task just enough to think this time it won't happen and then BAM full ram, full swap, and the whole system locks up. edit: bonus experience is this happening in a zoom call, so the mac guy inevitably pipes up "i'm not having any trouble here, I'm constantly amazed at how little ram the new mac processors use you should switch"
