I have less of a problem with web UIs but when this sort of minimalistic design starts invading even washrooms, that's where I draw the line.
There are no door handles for cubicle doors, you have to push them inside after seeing the separation lines. The first time I went to such a washroom, I was confused where should I enter from.
The paper towels are hidden behind the mirrors, if someone pulls and the next one doesn't flow down, you really will have no way of knowing the paper towels were there.
There are many other such things. I get that minimalistic design looks clean, but do you know what's better, accessibility.
- kabdib 3y agoThere's a phrase for this that I've heard used by architecture critics. "That building probably won an award." Who cares if there aren't enough elevators, or if the cooling system can't keep up with insolation, or if windows fall out or plumbing is always breaking down. That pretty glass box with the innovative lobby won an award! (And now we have to work in it...)
- crazygringo 3y agoI agree on them being confusing, but to be clear that's not copying a hamburger menu. That sounds like it's copying what are often called "handles", "grab handles" or "drag handles" in UX -- the close-together lines or dots in UX elements that indicate something can be dragged, a friction surface you can hold on to [1]. They mimic the grooves on a plastic cover for the battery compartment of a remote control, for example. But those are universally understood to indicate sliding, and should never be used for push/pull. That's literally what "door push plates" are for [2].
