In the world champion date picker, I had to swipe exactly twice to get to my birthday. Once for the month and once for the year. The default day was right.
I had to do it several times again to confirm this was just absolutely absurd luck.
I couldn't find my birthday in the first 10 or so pages, so I clicked "Give up" and searched the page for it. Said my pi index was in the 100,000s. Went back to the ui to select it manually and gave up after clicking fast for minutes and I hadn't even hit index 50,000.
By search, since it's trivial to find any 8 digit string in the already-known digits of pi - in fact all 100 million combinations appear within the first ~2 billion digits.
I think as long as it is a fun project (and not for real world applications) such experimental design is just fine. But yeah misclicking due to popups or other stuff is always annoying.
Too lazy to build it: Physically accurate bird view of the solar system at year zero of <INSTERT CALENDAR>. Grab whatever object with your mouse and move until reaching the desired point in time. Like grab Pluto to get somewhat near today, finetune with our Moon.
That's my point. At some point, people's fear of learning code is causing them to do things in ways that are unnecessary and overcomplicated, which is quite a bit ironic.
Can I nominate every single award flight finder from every airline? It's almost as if they want you to get frustrated and give up on trying to book your free flight
I haven't used the eJuror site personally, but having served 20 years active and reserve Navy, that is but the tip of the iceberg of shittily-implemented Federal government websites.
The "new and improved" cloud portal for doing Navy performance evaluations turned into such an unadulterated shitshow that everyone went back to the old system. A Visual Basic application bolted on top of an MS Access database . . . that originally was someone's side project in 1998.

Also in the spirit of bad UX, clicking the winning link (Dalia) just reloads the current page, lol.
I tried to watch the YouTube video but the UX popped in and caused me to click on some other random link.
..and then used Excel formulas of all things as the basis for its scripting language.
It's as if they wanted these things to be as clunky and spaghettified as possible.
This testimonial killed me because it's something ChatGPT will totally actually say

What does it mean if many of these entries are above-average in today's UI landscape? x)
