It's not great when a modal update notification pops up some X milliseconds after opening a productivity tool, after the required network request has completed. By that time you might be half way through typing something, or just about to click something in the interface.
- jcims 7y agoThis is the main issue. It's not that the information is unwelcome, it's that the delivery of said information interrupts workflow. Notepad++ has been particularly annoying me lately with this one. They removed the option to disable auto update a while back, need to see if it has returned. There should be a site that catalogs anti-patterns and nuisances in applications so we can publicly see the outcry over stupid stuff.
