Okay, this one has to be really good UX. The floating bar at the bottom that covered text “one mail each...” (before I could read it) contains a number 617 and few social buttons. Linkedin, that is blocked in my country, fb/tw/g+ that I don’t have, and buffer that I’m unaware of. The same for 617. After first stripe scrolled, there is ugly site name floating at the top that I can see in my phone’s browser titlebar anyway. Two floating bars, nice. Menu(?) stripe seems to have an inconsistency at “modal windows” item. Oh, and css is broken between email input and stay inspired button. I don’t want to read or tap anywhere on this site or stay inspired, but I suspect how much time was spent to make it at least what it is (leading web-based project right now). I think it is not good UX, nor a good platform to do it. My often used products are google and youtube, among others. Google can’t remember my password when I’m switching accounts, i.e. my browser places wrong remembered password into account switching form, because the domain is not changing. This ruins the entire fast switching, and my browser made it really faster than google, but now there is no way to do it, because login is integrated with fast-switch and asks for login and password in separate screens. Separate ... screens. Youtube remembers the last button I pressed and leaves it focused. So, when I’m clicking “next” in a playlist, two things happen: 1) I can’t control the volume and time position with keys anymore, 2) pressing space does not pause the video, it only shows focused “next” control. I don’t know what it does pressed twice, but if it activates “next” again, then it is a double fail. Hey, but you knew it was focused, can you ask. Yes, but not so after watching content for half a hour. It is a surprise every time. Every ... time. There was no desktop product such shitty, except for builtin IE and WMP, and even those were better imo. Because no product could survive such inconveniences, stupid design and the absense of real end-user usability testing like today’s. Now that web has an ability to lock-in user via content, not through good design, design went to the secondary plane and goes deeper and deeper. And if you’ll try to make a good youtube viewer with human design, UX and all, they’ll sue you to death. Modern UX (web UX really) is a pile of trash. There may be something you can learn from, but not much to do. /rant |
