Quejas al diseño industrial minimalista
A menudo escucho quejas a la usabilidad de productos digitales pero en cambio creo que la gente se queja muy poco de los productos físicos.
En una semana he leído dos buenas:
El lavaplatos de 37 signals
Y el grifo de Jesus Encinar
PD: de todas formas Jesus podría dedicar su tiempo a arreglar su casa antes de ponerse a fotografiar grifos en lavabos ;-)
Twitter has a cute little feature that is calculating, as you type, how many characters you have left before reaching the fatal 140. And the font color turns red as you get close to the limit. Good intention but bad implementation…
I would keep the red font color for things that go wrong. And if you still have 10 characters left, nothing went wrong.
PS: I’ve been trying to use Twitter without a client app after its redesign but it’s getting harder and harder…
In a previous post I wondered “Why are there so many email fields that only display a miserable dozen of characters?”. Emails tend to be longer than… let’s say 20 characters, right?
Recently redesigned Twitter doesn’t think so… (see screenshot).
And they have a lot of space to make a long one here. And no… its not because of the “holly design grid” behind, the next field is just a few pixels shorter.
I think I’ll start a twitter hashtag a Facebook group saying “NO MORE SHORT EMAIL FIELDS” or a spam campaign saying “ENLARGE YOUR EMAIL FIELD”.
