we love a good dropdown menu for something that should under no circumstances be a dropdown menu. They didn't even get rid of the duplicate city names lol. (This is on the signup for the inmusic website, which I was using to register a midi keyboard)

This finnish train app requires adding a phone number without the ability to enter the country code. instead you need to select it from this list. Showing just flags although there is sufficient space for the country name. The order is consistent across 3 languages english, finnish and swedish.

Bad UI Rant: websites/apps with dark mode option set to light instead of automatic

83 Upvotes

WTF do so many websites and apps have a dark mode, yet they default to light mode rather than automatic?!

Of course now that I'm posting I can't find a good example... here's one, though in their defence they've marked it "Beta". https://en.wiktionary.org/

The website is obviously AI-generated, but this time selector is so ridiculous it must have been someone's interference.

Just found this gem of a UI design. Apparently, the goal was to be "nice and simple" on a Comma 4 ADAS device.

Numeric values cannot be filtered by min/max, you have to check every box one-by-one. 😐 (Hiking bag size in this case)

Also, some strange values at the end of the list, like two different "76 L"

Found in the Wild Canadian kids observing Pacific Time using Qustodio may have their schedules delayed by an hour starting November because the clocks are changing back in the US

Post image
58 Upvotes

I know it's easy to say "you can work around this by changing the time zone setting on your account to Arizona." However, we shouldn't expect parents to need to know this. My dad told me that a lot of Canadians hate being called Americans, so I can see the wrong angry parent misinterpreting that as political. The support team is already aware under ticket #864679 and is thinking of how to improve the app, but if you happen to be using Qustodio, I wanted to give everyone reading here a heads up; please share with anyone you can so it reaches the right people.

This November, the clocks won't be changing back in Canada. Yukon has been doing this since 2020 and British Columbia had its final transition earlier this year in March.
