Was very impressed with @lyft last night. Got a notification ahead of time that my driver was deaf or hard of hearing. During the ride, the app taught me how to say thank you in ASL. I tried it out when Nick dropped me off and he seemed to really appreciate it. Big win for #a11y!

@AMCPlus FYI your app doesn’t work properly on Apple TV. Some of your controls (like enabling subtitles) rely entirely on the remote’s downward swipe gesture. But I have my clickpad set to “click only.” There’s no way to access the subtitle control by clicking down. Thanks.

@Venmo please label your mobile navigation already and stop talking to me about crypto when I’m trying to just transfer money to my bank. I use your app for one thing. Thanks. #BadUX

Still wondering why the low temp is on the left in the mobile app but on the right in the Watch UI 🤔 #BadUX

@Apple is this a legit survey request? The email address feels funny, the heading and button are both blurry images instead of semantic HTML, and the footer contains multiple "click here" links. No offense but it's so poorly implemented it almost feels phishy. #BadUX

TIL you can take a full length screenshot in #Chrome. From the inspector, hit Cmd+Shift+P then search for "full." A super useful (and very buried) feature.

@UXmikebeasley This is another one of my favorites

I feel like a @googlenest Home Screen widget for #iOS would be really useful and super easy to build. Am I right?

Been a while since I tried a brand new Apple product. Pretty excited about these #AirTags!

Hands down, this wins the award for worst #darkpattern of the month. "Let's just drop in an 'expand' button right next to the X so users have the convenient option of engaging with the ad instead of closing it." @SuckyUX1 #BadUX

@Xfinity it’s disgusting that you’re doing this during a pandemic when we’re all working from home.

So I can search through emojis using the native keyboard on my iPhone... but why not my iPad? Seems like a pretty big oversight.

[Mike Wojan @mtwojan]

Started a new job today and I’m very excited about it 😊 I’ll be joining an awesome team of people at @duosec as a senior product designer. Officially a Duonaut! 🚀

Even after deleting every 3rd party app from my #AppleWatch Series 3, I still don’t have enough space for the OS update. This happens every time a new update is rolled out. @AppleSupport is your official recommendation still to just factory reset the watch every time? #BadUX

[Mike Wojan @mtwojan]

@CaseyNewton Well said! I was thinking the same thing while reading a Newsweek article the other day. Actual content highlighted in green 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Mike Wojan @mtwojan]

@danklyn Right after reading your tweet I opened #Facebook to see this glorious new multi-row stories monstrosity at the top of my feed 🤦🏻‍♂️ why do I still have this app on my phone?

[Mike Wojan @mtwojan]

Really enjoyed this short article on typography best practices by @Dannysapio in @uxdesigncc https://t.co/lrfCAJjPpO

I’ve gotta hand it to @DunhamsSports, this is a pretty funny last-ditch effort 😅 But for real - please make Unsubscribe the primary button on this page. I came here to opt out and expect that to be the primary call to action. Better yet, don’t make me click anything at all.

"Click here to activate your next 5% cash back category." This is a dark pattern. When will credit card companies start doing the right thing and opting their customers into these automatically? #BadUX #DarkPattern
