Breathe life into your software. Give it 'personality'
- antidaily 16y agoI believe we've seen this here before.
- ambulatorybird 16y agoCute, but it can easily be taken too far, as with that MS Office paper clip thing.
- aswanson 16y agoThat's a little too big-brotherish. I know you're analyzing my email but don't bring what you know to the forefront like that.
- lsb 16y agoif($('email-body').value.match(/I have (attached|included)/i)) { confirm('Did you mean to send an attachment?') }
- aswanson 16y agoOh cmon man that's disingenuous. Detection of a user choice of an attachment is conscious transmittal of intent. Message analysis is a different layer of intrusion.
- jcw 16y agoPanic comes to mind as a company that makes software with personality, just look at their site: http://www.panic.com http://www.panic.com
- Qz 16y agoThe reminder seems nice, except for the fact that its using one of those godawful modal dialog boxes that prevents you from doing absolutely anything else. That crap needs to die a quick death.
- ComputerGuru 16y agoNo. BLOCKING errors should generate modal dialog boxes. Warnings, hints, information, etc. shouldn't. He presssed "send" to move on to the next page. He's done with everything, but he REALLY shouldn't go forward or do anything else until he's taken care of this.
- Qz 16y agoRight, it should block the action he was doing, which is within one web page. But the browser modal dialog box blocks all interaction in every tab open in that browser window, which is beyond obnoxious. It's easy enough to pop up one of those lightbox style popups within the webpage instead of blocking the whole damn browser.
