Re: flat web design.

Buttons that don’t look like buttons.

I blew someone’s mind today. She’s about my age, competent at her job, but not much into technology.

She complained that she always needs to scroll past the weeks in her web-based calendar.

I pressed the current date shown in the top-left corner above her appointments, which pulled up a big date overview by month.

She was so excited, asked me how I did that.

Mind you, the date was shown as simple black letters on a white background, with only a black, downwards-pointing chevron a bit to the right. It hardly suggested interactivity, especially to those not knowledgeable about web design.

I often think that flat design was a mistake, and today’s situation was a good example of bad user experience (UX) stemming from non-intuitive controls.

Civil servant here who writes replies on behalf of a government minister. It's blatantly obvious when you use AI to write in, and I put you to the back of the queue for any response.
@fesshole this is... not funny. People who "joke" about pushing other people's buttons are actually being mean. Just because you don't comprehend another person's experience of "ick" does not mean that it's not real, and in fact this kind of behavior shows a fundamental deficit of empathy that you should work on correcting.

Don't ascribe any deeper meaning to this post. This isn't a commentary on anything.

I happened to think of this quote, so I decided to post it here.

If the Kenyan people don't want this facility—and they don't—that should be respected. Their concerns are reasonable, and even if their concerns weren't reasonable, it's their country. Neither I nor the US have any right to say otherwise.

It's their country and they are the ones who will be harmed if the facility doesn't follow proper safety protocols.
