Hello 👋
UI/CSS Tip 💡

There is a grayscale filter in CSS that can make your pictures completely grayscale.

It's useful when you want to show a bunch of logos, making them grayscale by default, but when you hover over them, they become colorful.

But!

Last year I sent quite a few real letters via post.

I didn't just send simple postcards, but rather a large envelope filled with interesting content.

The problem is that each letter costs around ~$10-15 to send, and if I send, say, 100 letters, it'll be $1000.

UI/UX Tip 💡

Avoid placing all validation messages below the form in one spot.

This forces users to move their eyes up and down to match errors with inputs.

When users fill out a specific input, they are within the CONTEXT of that data.

I've just realized I have sent over 160 newsletter issues.

Now, what if I adapt them and move them to my blog... 🤔

UI/UX Tip ⚡

People often want to use your logo, and they'll typically right-click on it on the landing page.

Consider offering an option to copy the logo or access brand guidelines, which can include various logo variations.

Need your advice 🙏

I want to send a lot of real letters via traditional post. The problem is that sending one letter is costly, it's around ~$10 for me.

So, sending 100 will cost $1000.

UI/UX Tip 💡

Emphasize important information.

Users frequently visit your app and become familiar with the dashboard cards, their placement, and their content.

However, if the label and value have the same visual weight, it can make more distraction than clarity.

Let’s forget about UX for a moment and just enjoy the design.

That's the UX spirit.

How can I fill in the zip code?

Want to keep your subscribers on your list?

Don't let them uncheck the "Lessons and Learning" checkbox.

Still, make sure to show it, so users understand they will receive notifications regardless.

Apps that unlock the “Next” button only after I scroll through the Terms and Conditions really overestimate my reading habits.

This UX simply doesn't work.

UI/UX Tip 💡

For draggable handles, create an invisible area larger than the visible one, making it easier to interact with.

This approach is especially important for mobile devices, where precise tapping can be challenging.

UI/UX Tip

Instead of using generic text like "Type your reply" in placeholders, try being more specific.

For instance, if you're replying to someone, include their name in the placeholder.

This approach can be applied to many other situations as well.

If your users are going to make a mistake, make sure it's your fault, not theirs.

UI/UX Tip ⚡

A handy trick to standardize icons is to place them inside rectangles with fixed dimensions.

This method helps compensate for inconsistencies when icons are of different sizes.

By putting them into containers, you make them appear uniformly sized.

The most powerful CAPTCHA I've ever seen.

Yes, the numbers are in plain text in HTML.

Awful UX.

I don't get it, why 20% of a video is covered by who-knows-what.

- Sometimes I can't see important parts of the video.
- I never can find "the full video" when YouTubers ask for it.
- I'm afraid to touch all of these text elements since they are clickable.
