8. Not sure if this was intentional but
great physical product design.
Top of box is perforated so when
its in the pantry the contents are
easily accessible.

Contextual (optional)
surveys are great for
getting timely feedback

11. Doctors made a 3D print

12. Flat panels are for pushing,
handles are for pulling.
No UX presentation is

13. I love Cashapp. It does one
thing and does it really well. It’s
really obvious what the
fi
rst
thing you do is.
Then the 2nd step is easy!
Venmo starts with more stu
ff
,
which is not as nice.

14. Its weird that an error can be
nice, but this is a great way to
show a form error. Easy to see,
understand, and visually
accessible.
It has an icon as well as color,
the error is clearly attached to
the
fi
eld, and its clear which
fi
eld has the error.

35. This state park is AMAZING but…
Come on sign makers. Surely this was laid
out and designed before printing.
NO ONE thought that this arrow/label
layout would be confusing?
People had to scratch in lines so that
others would know Cherokee is actually
left and Hemlock is right.

36. Really local government?
Really?! Its 2021 and I still have
to

get a duplicate auto title??
REALLY?!

37. 20 minutes is "a moment"?! Writing is
SO important to your brand and
customer experience in your digital
products and services.
Don't just ship it, think, plan,
empathize, make it good! Or great!
Terrible experience with the TruGreen
app. It de
fi
nitely felt like my time was
not valuable. How about a way to go
into a queue for a callback?
- Mike G
38. A great example of how not
to show/write/handle a
system error.
It doesn't tell me ANY
information on what went
wrong. It doesn’t give me any
next steps. It doesn't even
suggest I try again.

39. Its 2021. How many people
still have a home phone?

40. Colors often mean things for non
colorblind users. Red is an alert/bad color
in U.S. why would they choose that if my
balance is $0.00?
Also, why are both buttons styled the
same? Typical rule is one primary CTA per
view. Less important or used options
should be styled with a secondary style.
- Mike G
41. You must select dates to continue. Use
the calendars on the left to do so.
If you’re going to have your primary CTA
look disabled, for the love of all that’s
holy, at least have some text telling the
user why it’s disabled or how to enable
it! Can use a tooltip on hover/click/tap.
It is SO frustrating when you don’t know
how to proceed.
- Mike G
42. Here’s another disabled button that had
me frustrated and annoyed.
I honestly did not know how to move
forward and I got no instructions or help.
Just leave it enabled (even if you stylize it
as disabled) and then show me an error
message when i hover/tap/click! Don't
make the user feel stupid.
Apparently i had to select a delivery
option, but the UI design did not
communicate that to me.
- Mike G
You must select your Delivery options to continue.
43. Question for the Slack
product team: Why are the
hearts not under the section
with a heart icon??
- Mike G
44. After struggling with drag and drop across screens
for probably the 1000th time I realized when I
organize an app on my phone it would be easier
for me if I could just select the folder from a list in
the popup. I know the folders that I use: social,
banking...
OR just do the best to smart organize based on the
type of app it is. “Would you like to add snapchat
to your ‘social’ folder?” “Would you like to add
Chase Banking to your ‘banking’ folder?”
Do more work as a researcher/designer/dev so
your users do less.
- Mike G
45. Ah, the good ole shame
method to try and control
user behavior.
- Mike G
46. Speaking of shaming, does
my video game system really
have to tell me i’m fat? And
kids used this too. SMH.

47. When you push to production

50. OR
Mobile safari moved the

breaking convention, but
much easier to tap into with
your thumbs.
