I just accidentally clicked the “clear all” on the browser URL and wished that it was a bit harder to click but was still there. If it took three clicks to make happen, its still useful in most circumstances but would drastically drop the mistaken clicks

Anyway, what are your unpopular UI opinions?

    I absolutely hate those scrolling number pickers, like on alarm apps. Just pop up the numpad and I can enter a time in 2-4 taps, not 2-3 coarse scrolls of minutes, a fine scroll to the minute I actually want, then repeat that process on the hours.

      Bro why is it any other way, ever.

      I despise setting alarms. Why do I have to scroll? Fucking let me type in the time on a numpad.

      I have like 50 alarms that are 15 minutes apart and I toggle them on and off as needed.

      It’s a fucking mess, bro. Fuck.

      I take a moment to mildly rant about this, sometimes out loud, every time I have to set a timer on my phone.

      I hate it when the numbers affect each other too, so if you roll back on the minutes, the hour changes too. It’s awful.

        I don’t mind one way or the other, I just wish people would settle on one convention!

      Even if iPhone did everything else better than android, you could still never convince me to switch over to their hell of every date and time being entered via scroll.

      Give me the little clock or a numpad.

      I like when they have both, like the roller thing you can click to input a number, best of both worlds.

      Samaung at least in their apps I canbtap on the number to type it instead of scrolling.

      On the same vein, date pickers. Just let me type the damn date instead of having to choose on your virtual calendar.
