IMPORTANT. It seems like you haven't been reading my emails. At least, that's what my provider thinks. I understand that you may be using software to prevent tracking email openings, and that's perfectly fine! However, I need to confirm whether you're still interested or not. Could you please click this link (it's just my blog, so there's nothing to worry about) so I know you're still here. Some people have trouble with the login screen. It's just a simple form, and putting two inputs in the...

I guess not, since...

In my previous email, I asked what type of content you would like to see. Several of you mentioned that reviews of poorly designed UIs would be awesome. So, here we are. Today, we will review this payment form. By the way, this is from one of the most popular banks in Armenia. Disclaimer: This form is designed for card payments at a local bank, which is why it does not include fields for country or VAT. It is not a subscription form for a SaaS or something like that. Let's go over problems I...

Today we'll cover another CSS media query: prefers-reduced-motion, and how to load (or avoid loading) styles based on user preferences — this is genuinely cool stuff! I've just posted the same article on LinkedIn, for my first time. Accessibility concern There’s a condition called VIMS: Visually induced motion sickness (VIMS)—a subcategory of motion sickness that specifically relates to nausea, oculomotor strain, and disorientation from the perception of motion while remaining still.

After a rough patch, I’m getting back to writing. More practical stuff that you can apply directly in your projects. One topic that looks really good is how to use modern CSS to support UI/UX and accessibility.

I've been skimming through my list of topics to cover and found an interesting CSS property that’s especially useful when you need to highlight a specific phrase inside a block of text. Normally, when a text block breaks into multiple lines, the browser treats the whole element as a single box — which often results in broken or inconsistent styling. So this code: Results in the following styling: To fix that, all you need is: box-decoration-break: clone; It tells the browser to treat each...

I've just gone through some of the screenshots I collected over the past few months. I’d like to share one of them with you. I don’t have a universal solution for rating UX. What I want to share is this thought: sometimes people come up with a great solution, but due to human nature, lifestyle, or whatever-you-want-to-call-it, the solution ends up becoming useless. I remember reading news about a new law that limits the number of SIM cards a person can buy. Many people use them for fraud, or...

I apologize for being absent. For the past ~2 months, I've collected quite a lot of topics for newsletter issues; hopefully, you will like them. Today I want to share with you a screenshot from my bank app and make a quick review of the problems it has. In my humble opinion, of course. Here we go. There are quite a few problems: 1. Separated from each other, the expiration date, card number, and security code are all part of the card credentials. The thing is, if you need to see card number,...
