Sort of off topic: Linking to a dropbox file is a pretty terrible way of publishing what should have been a blog post instead. How can you tell whether this is legitimate or just some guy who set their display name to Arash?
The UX design (which they are usually praised for) is pretty subpar for this page in general. The "..." button seems to be broken(on firefox on linux) and there's a useless comment pane that isn't autohidden and has a grayed out "enable comments" button for no reason. (EDIT: It seems this only happened because I am on a 4k resolution monitor so I guess it's forgivable)
- hashkb 9y agoWhat about Dropbox Paper?
- zawerf 9y agoI don't use Paper, I was complaining about the UX of the page in this submission specifically. ... But I tried looking up Paper just now and saw that their register page, https://www.dropbox.com/paper/register https://www.dropbox.com/paper/register, has broken UI too: https://i.imgur.com/ZyZxDSK.png https://i.imgur.com/ZyZxDSK.png (blue text on blue background) I really don't get why Dropbox gets praised for their attention to detail.
- desertmountain 9y agoWhat’s the ticker symbol for your $10B master-UX company?
- aaomidi 9y agoHow is this relevant when you're criticizing some detail? Are you saying you can't every criticize something because you're not perfect?
- middleclick 9y agoWhat kind of a reply is this?
- TeMPOraL 9y agoI actually appreciated that they posted it on Dropbox. Even though it's a subpar publishing platform (it wasn't meant to be![0]), it still seems very fitting. -- [0] - Also, if we're talking about publishing through Dropbox, then RIP Public folder.
