@chrstnerode@diabrowser One of the more delightful parts of my day. Helps my little adhd brain remember what to focus/follow up on and you can feel the thought and car that went into this.
Jony Ive: Using touchscreens for basic car controls is a 'dumb design' that endangers lives.
"People are dying because of dumb design."
"Multi-touch shouldn't be in a car. It requires by definition that you're looking at a display."
When the man who popularized the touchscreen admits putting an iPad in your dashboard is a deadly mistake, automakers must listen.
I grew up in cars with analog switches, and I miss them. You could operate the radio or the climate control by pure muscle memory while keeping your eyes on the road.
Now, the data backs up that everyday frustration. A University of Washington study proves touchscreens cause lane drifting. Starting in 2026, Euro NCAP will actually strip 5-star safety ratings from cars that refuse to use physical buttons for basic controls.
We sacrificed safe, intuitive hardware for flat screens. It is time to bring the buttons back.

@SubodhChawla@mercury Hey Subi! I’m a product designer at Mercury. We currently have limited categorization depending on what accounting tool is used (e.g. Xero) I’d love to learn more about your use case as we improve things. If you’re interested, please DM me your email to set up time to chat. :)

Whenever someone says something nice about me on Twitter I told the team to replace their name with mine.
We have >450 people that work at Mercury. I do a lot less than 1% of the work here!
