I like when things are perfectly aligned.

I love that Chase asks for your credit card info when you book a plane ticket on their travel website. Nobody there thought “we must have this info somewhere…”
I love MagSafe on my Mac, and I was disappointed when Apple took it away, but I have to say I’ve had this new MacBook Pro for two months and I’ve only used Thunderbolt/USB-C so far. I haven’t even unboxed the MagSafe power adapter 🤷
@david_megginson totally fair that you do need symbols + labels in order to make things easily understandable in most situations. As pointed by someone else, this screenshot doesn’t show the animations that existed. And it seems that a later version had tooltips.
@Gmatom 🤩 beautifully done!

Me: I’d like to remove toothpaste from my refill plan.

Quip: sure! Please just confirm why you’d like to make this life-changing decision. Do you want the next one free?! Please confirm again, and kindly sign this toothpaste release form with your blood in front of the notary of your choice.

The Mac OS Control Panel by Susan Kare is such a remarkable UI. It was designed in 1984 without any text labels and fits in only 315x158 pixels.
@kylelambert we work with a CPA, it’s reasonably expensive (depending on your situation), it gives us peace of mind, it’s a local business, and we don’t give any money to TurboTax.
@kitchenettekat you can also try decreasing the amount of matcha in your afternoon cup. Since we switched to our own coffee machine, we make a lighter espresso. Specialty coffee shops in NYC often make a thick, strong espresso, and I end up not blinking for 20 min 😵‍💫
@kejk can’t avoid smoothing corners 👀😀
@toolmantim haha, I wish! I did make this tray to serve desserts though 🥧😋
