This. Is. Horrible.
I have some very, very unkind words for the person or team or manager who decided to make hangouts show as few lines as possible. It didn't used to be this way.
- nnain 10y agoYou're mixing GChat with Hangout. GChat was(is) minimal and very useful.
- bpchaps 10y agoYou're right. Point still stands that google's design choices are god awful these days, though.
- tluyben2 10y agoPeople complain about that with Apple too 'these days'. So if the biggest mobile players and one of the biggest web players are bad at design/ux is it just the few people in the world who care about this kind of thing all being on HN or is there some objective measure for this? I'm asking because I don't see it and I know almost no-one who does, then again I am and know mostly hardcore techies (who prefer text only interfaces) or people who do not work in IT and both really do not see it.
