I wish more development went into form widgets. A big thing is also that they're accessible and responsive by default. One that I would love would be some sort of drag and drop reorderable list, for example.

The main problem is really just that they show up for basically every search, a bunch of times, and when you click through, you can't get to the image without signing up/in

yes, although if you have to login (which i do because my cookies clear on each browser reload), it will still redirect you to the javascript gmail after logging in, even if you came from the html-gmail URL. Really they just need to respect

html gmail works. You used to be able to set it as your default view (well, you still can technically), but they stopped respecting that setting and just send you to the javascript one now anyway. Still, if you change your URL manually afte

well, the hardware has to exist to develop it, it's a chicken and egg situation. We're clearly in the very early baby step phase here

I don't particularly care about that either, I just want something I have actual real control over, that's updateable indefinitely, and doesn't shove crap in my face or spy on me

Well, I don't disagree with that, my point was just that you're arguing semantics regarding the word beta, because their marketing is very clear about what it is (and I'd also argue that beta for hardware is a different stand

I don't like the ridiculous number of settings you have to tweak to stop google from spying on you, 4 settings levels deep somewhere. I don't like that google made phone manufacturers take the "disable location" button o

I still use the html gmail, that's getting harder to access all the time (and which google now just straight up ignores being set as your default view, and gives you the javascript view anyway unless you manipulate the URL)

I shouldn't have to hover over the icon to figure out what it does. That's terrible UI. Even tiny text would be better than no text

They could at the very least put labels under or next to the icons. In regards to touch-readiness: TBH I've had a laptop with a touchscreen, and I never once used the touchscreen on it productively in any way. On a tablet it's a d

I'm not, but I would love to some day. I fucking hate my android phone (and the iphone is just as terrible, in slightly different and often the same ways). Thank god for the people tinkering on pinephones and purism phones, paving the

I still dislike the gnome3 title bar with the icons. As you say, unlabelled mystery meat and hamburger menus. I'll admit, part of my dislike for the new title bars is probably irrationally rooted in just wanting things to stay like the

your "unlock 120k icons" prompt covers some of the text at the very bottom of the page (as in if you've reached the scroll end), maybe you should add some margin/padding at the bottom
