Snap is the greatest innovator of user experiences in this generation. This is evidenced by the fact that literally every other social media app is just a hodgepodge copycat of sorts of what snap invented. For people who introduced themselves to tech with snap as one of their first apps, its the most intuitive thing ever.
When they first introduced video calls, schools had to close for a day.
Imagine then you come here and see someone calls it awful. Can't help but think its just an instance of "old man yelling at clouds".

- sans_souse 1y agoAll valid points. Made me actually think about the likely first actions an alien or newborn would take with a 2025 touch screen device. Chomp. Chew. Swipe. xD
- sans_souse 1y agoDon't take me argument as one against the point that it was massively popular and influential, en contraire, that's often the common factor in things I tend to dislike: the norm/ the mainstream. It's mostly subjective when talking UI, and a lot plays in too regarding the lack of competive platforms with different UI's.
- ramraj07 1y agoMy point is that (I think) they became popular because of their UI and UX. They remagined how a small touch screen user experience could be most intuitive if you dont come with legacy mindset. For people used to keyboard and mice this might look weird but snap makes sense to the newer generation. If all the other apps look similar its because they copied it. This is like calling Citizen Kane boring.

Are they in the room with us now? > For people who introduced themselves to tech with snap as one of their first apps, its the most intuitive thing ever Point camera. Press button. Pick users. Gotta try real hard to screw that one up, UI wise.
