Brilliant. Every single image that I saw is of an Apple product. The so-called masters of UI.

  We (the authors) are Mac and iPhone users, so yeah, our exposure to things is skewed towards MacOS and iOS :) And yeah, it pains us to no end :)

    1. Please keep up the good work! 2. Please add a way for visitors to submit content. (Unfortunately) I have lots of content that I want to share...

      1. Thank you! 2. It’s a challenge because someone would need to approve submitted content, but I hope we’ll figure something out

    Hey grumpy - awesome site, but I thought "Cancel Subscription? - YES / CANCEL" was the title of the post and spent sometime wondering why it had nothing to do with subscriptions: https://pic.t0.vc/ZYIU.png https://pic.t0.vc/ZYIU.png

      Yup, those quotes are a part of the joke (like the infinite scrolling). They even trip me up sometimes, and I write posts there :)

Thank you! This is like therapy for me. The slack one especially is so bad. How does that happen?

Wow, this one's actually crazy! https://grumpy.website/post/0Sar_W_5D https://grumpy.website/post/0Sar_W_5D I already mis-swipe in my Reddit app and downvote instead of upvote... the "small" vs "large" swipe option feels like something that gets mis-input a lot. Okay for something inconsequential like votes, but I can't imagine deleting something I wanted to save because of it.

This is great, thank you for posting this. It seems like a good counterpart for Dark Patterns [1], though these examples are simply very confusing design choices rather than outright malicious ones. Anyway I'm happy to see Telegram's (and I believe Whatsapp's) decision to put archived chats at the top of the normal chat list here, that has always been totally inexplicable to me. I want these chats to go away, but not to fully delete them... on top of the chat list seems like the worst place to put them! [1] https://twitter.com/darkpatterns https://twitter.com/darkpatterns
