I hate this form. I know a lot of people like it, but I hate it. It goes against all the standard for design techniques that users are used to - even as a designer and full time employee at an internet company I was confused for a half second when looking at it. That is bad.
- cennydd 18y agoOh for goodness sake. This is a spare-time side project website. It's not been A/B tested. It's not been paid for. It's playful, it's different and it's fun. You know, like spare-time side projects are meant to be. And I hate to be 'that guy', but some of these attempts at usability and UX analysis are straw man conjecture, the hallmark of the amateur. If anyone can show me some user testing or expert opinions based in grounded UX theory I'll be more interested. Sheesh.
- bkbleikamp 18y agoWell, I am not sure straw man is the correct term, but I am not meaning to personally attack the designer. I was merely refuting the point that some are making that this is a brilliant design. And I am not sure claiming the UX analysis and usability questions are hallmarks of amateurs is a very compelling argument from you. It seems to me they should be the questions everyone is asking about this form. And there are clear design patterns in form design, even if they aren't the most effective, they exist and users are used to them.
