WARNING: Pasting in a Zillow link will immediately try to log you in via an oath provider.
This is a seriously sketchy UX pattern, I advise avoiding this website.
- az226 2y agoReally shitty. Avoid.
- hk1337 2y agoI wouldn’t say it’s sketchy. They want people logged in to get the analysis. It’s a horrible UX pattern. At the very least, it should be obvious that I have to login to get the analysis, not immediately shoot over to a google login. Ideally, it’d be nice if they did a basic analysis of the property link and required login to get more details.
- giulioco 2y agoGood idea, thanks. Didn't know people would get this triggered by this UX pattern tbh. I had it before with a modal that prompted the user to login but figured this might just be easier / faster? I'll readd the modal though.

- giulioco 2y agoLol. I used to have a modal till yesterday that asked users to login with Google then removed it as I figured it was just extra friction; didn't realize it was this much of a red flag for websites... I'll readd it, thanks for the feedback.
- giulioco 2y agoPre-redirect modal is back.
- F7F7F7 2y agoIt's a dark pattern regardless. You should be upfront LOUD and clear that login will be required. If people are complaining it's because you're not LOUD and clear enough. There's a reason that you only see this UX pattern on sleezy lead gen and "Find People Now" stalker'ish sites. And even then they'll give you basic information for free and grab your email and/or money for more "value".
