Original question text by @phantomwise@lemmy.ml

What are the modern design trends you hate most? Feel free to rant! Mine are:

  • Physical buttons are out of fashion, now EVERYTHING must have a touch screen instead! Especially if it makes the appliance more inconvenient to use. Like having to press a flimsy touch screen ten times to scroll through a washing machine's programs instead of just turning a physical knob and pressing a physical start button.
  • Every website looks like it's made for a phone and was vomited by the same app in slightly different flavors of vomit.
  • Actually EVERYTHING looks like it's made for a phone... Like what's the deal with all those hamburger menus on DESKTOP apps? Please just put a regular menu and same me some pointless clicking, it's not like you're lacking screen space. I especially hate that those menus can't be opened from the keyboard like regular menus.

  • When interface shifts around due to information update (e.g new bluetooth devices found).
  • When primary content in a website is hidden behind hover effects.
  • Expensive animations, blur and gradients with no functionality.
  • When an app treats me like a baby and asks me 20 questions one at a time instead of giving me a menu of options.
  • Excesive round corners
  • Excesive padding on apps.

I just really hate when webpages take 10 seconds to load a cluttered mess of an interface with no sense of direction

Its so you dont cut yourself on sharp edges or hit your head on the UI elements. If not the literal function than certanly ment to envoke the feeling of crib padding.

Yeah, they look and feel more comfortable but sometimes the go overkill and just lose a lot of space for nothing.

Hiding your UX behind a series of next buttons, asking for more, More, MORE PII

Oh Man, the number of times I deleted something because of the notification on top that shift everything down... Drives me mad.
