Bad UI Battles

Bad UI Battles is a UI/UX design meme about trying to make User Interfaces that are not just bad, but intentionally bad (often in a funny way)

Some examples

an address input but every letter is set by a drop-down
a volume slider, but you have to catapult the ball into place
a time control where you have to manually drag a sun and moon in the sky

Enter a postal address, I think you'll find it near-impossible (infosec.pub)

Ugh this is frustrating, there’s no way I can use this thing… my street number is in the ten-thousands 😩

Wait, for real?

Honestly, gives me an excuse to make it more evil, how many digits?

[–] rehydrate5503@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Lol yup. It is 5 digits, where the first 3 are the nearest cross street, and last 2 digits are house number.

So as an example, 21601 2nd ave, would be right at the intersection of 2nd ave and 216th street, while 21689 2nd ave would be closer to 2nd ave and 217th street. Super easy to navigate and find addresses when everything is a grid.

Please do, love your work.
