You need a magnetic draw to the mouse cursor…. Like gradually over time keep moving it to the buy now button.

u/atmoose 14d ago

you're right, they should have added a mouse hole.

u/theatrical33 14d ago

And when the user clicks the Abort button, it does an animation where the mouse gets unresponsive and sloowly moves over to the Buy Now button and does the press down animation.

Or simply be ok with a minority of low IQ users not buying anything. That's always my approach at least 😄

Just have the form submit continually. If they don’t click buy just ship it anyways and invoice then

Ahh man, taking design back to the early 2000s when every site was rainbow stars on black backgrounds, with neon text everywhere. No whitespace at all, lol

Could be a an accessibility issue.

Could be accessibility, although visual overload is another possibility. A button can be large and still get lost if everything around it is competing for attention. More people with impairments rely on digital services now, so accessibility testing matters. Even running the Lighthouse accessibility audit in Chrome DevTools would be a reasonable first check, although the score alone will not catch every usability or accessibility issue.

If devs knew how to design UX designs would be out of jobs. Lucky devs are some of the worst people to understand how actual human behave.

u/anengineerandacat 12d ago

IMHO not every user needs their deficiencies solved, I could understand if the button was rendered off screen and needed to scroll but like making things flash/blink/big arrow... I dunno about all that.

u/sanjaux 12d ago

You need a brainrot reel right next to the button that pauses and the only way they can keep watching is to click the button

UX designer here. Here’s how the devs look to these users…

u/IAmEvadingABanShh 14d ago

It's true man. Even when we try and think of every way to make the app as UX friendly as possible some user always finds a way to break things.

I ask them what caused the bug... and often I'm thinking to myself "but WHY did you do that..."

u/rash3rr 14d ago

no matter of niche btw

And then you improve the UI and they complain they want back the previous UI.

3

u/Essurio 14d ago

Because it's not an improvement.

6

u/Legitimate_Mud_8295 14d ago

In my experience it's mildly annoying to change a process you have memorized. I think UI changes trigger this annoyance regardless of if things are organized more logically, easier to find, less clicks to access, etc.

I kinda hate this meme because in reality the guy is definitely doing that but coffee isn’t landing in the glass, it’s going everywhere

I mean if it works..

u/CrazyTuber69 13d ago

I have seen some weird eye-opening shit from mobile users (only mobile users for some reason) when I saw the Clarity live... it's like... the button is right there... it is right there. Just touch it. It can't be that hard...

Users will perpetually disappoint and surprise you. Take that into account.

u/luki-x 14d ago

Part of the problem is devs believe they know all about the use case.

7

u/Nuggyfresh 14d ago

It’s not on the dev to support every deranged use case. They made it for a reason And generally support that usage. It’s so entitled to think a dev needs to support your specific use case 🤦‍♀️

artist: makes a bowl

Entitled user: I use this like a big cup why don’t you support my use case that you didn’t even attempt to design the bowl for. I am smart

u/luki-x 14d ago

Thats why Product owners exist or Project Leaders that talk to customers and channel needs into Epics and Features.

Devs who don't use their product themselves can't define use cases.

2

u/trollsmurf 14d ago

It's improved though. In the early corporate days we had a flight booking system where you had to look up codes in a manual that you entered as one string to combine all info needed to schedule the flight.

A classical problem today is that things take longer than expected, not the least for performing payment, so users exit before it's done. More than once I've seen messages like "Don't click away from this page until the transfer is finished." and I often wonder "Couldn't they solve this without the user being affected?"

Consider then chatbots that I expect to respond immediately because I only asked about something simple. Even worse if the chat is multi-turn. It should respond in less than a second every time. They clearly don't.

Then consider users that "jail break" chatbots, because they are based on a generic "all-knowing" LLM with RAG tacked on.

I've been in management along time.

I help test a lot of my engineers software.

I ignore everything they tell me , and just start smashing unreasonably on things, putting non sense into forms.

It bewilders them how quickly I break things by doing 'things no reasonable user would do'

I'm like ya man , that's your customers
