8 months agoUI components that do things when you click on them but don’t appear until you hover the mouse over them. I’m mostly talking about stuff like little edit buttons with pencil icons or close/cancel buttons with little X’s. I want to select an item from a list or change tabs in my browser, but when I click, I find I am actually now editing the name of the thing or closing/muting a tab because a button that wasn’t there before has suddenly appeared beneath my click action. But it also applies to vanishing scrollbars others have complained about.
On that point, I want bigger scrollbars, not smaller ones. Browsers especially could benefit from the kind of minimap I get in a code editor.
Haha I talked to my kids about burning CDs in the way of talking about old tech they’ve never encountered. They wanted a CD burner after that to try it out, so I found an external USB burner and a cheapo little boom box. They ended up downloading songs from our media server and some stuff from NewGrounds and burning a bunch of mix CDs. It was fun!
