I remember hearing a lot about “responsive design” right around the time it started becoming impossible to click things. Never wanted to learn more about it, but i think that’s the culprit.
I loved the internet when all html was made in notepad. It was just so pleasant.
Icons where there should be labels.
There’s 12 random shapes in the interface. Clicking 1 of them might delete or block this contact, or it might allow you to send an attachment. How can you find out? You can’t, cause there are no mouse-over labels either, and if you had the option to enable them, it would be hidden behind one of the 12 shapes that may cause more unknown trouble. So you can’t feel safe to experiment either.
When you start crochet, nobody tells where every loop ends up in: Every loop basically counts as a single line segment, and you just draw a grid out of them. The thing about grids is there is the ‘fencepost error’.
What people should know from the start is that if you make a 10x10 grid, you generally start going from bottom left to right, pulling 10 loops horizontally, then 1 up, then 1 back to the left. People just say “chain 12” though, which is confusing to noobs. From there on out you stop doing chains, and do crochets, which means inserting the hook wherever you want to draw lines from and alternating between adding horizontal and vertical line segments. When you stretch a crocheted fabric, each crochet can move yarn from the horizontal loop to the vertical one or back, to stretch one way and shrink the other. But the foundation chain was made with subsequent horizontal bits and will not stretch! (and chainless foundation rows exist but are not even mentioned to noobs)
So beginners will be confused by the fencepost error which requires mixing in the occasional ‘chain’ at the end of rows of ‘crochets’. Since you pull new loops out of identical looking crochets 90% of the time, but then have to deal with different looking ones on the edge its easy to mistake a vertical bit for horizontal or vice versa and accidentally increase or decrease unintentionally.
So many ruined projects and people giving up on the hobby just cause everybody is making tutorials and nobody is explaining the logic.
There’s a (really good) song on youtube called “clean the fan”. It says it all. Stuff is just designed so poorly
When you want to click the fullscreen button, and the seekbar jumps to the end of the video, so you click the start of the seekbar, and now the volume control opens, so you click the video but the volume slider stays open, so you move the volume slider up and down, but now the video already reached the end so now it switches to the next video, and you have to wait for that page to load before you can go back to the previous video which will have to load and buffer all over again(and play an ad if you are on someone elses device)
JUST MAKE THE UI ELEMENTS HITBOXES MATCH THEIR LOOKS AND NOT OVERLAP. A SEEKBAR CAN BE AT THE TOP I DON’T GIVE A CRAP JUST DON’T DO THAT AARRGGGHH
