Bad UI Battles
85 readers

Bad UI Battles is a UI/UX design meme about trying to make User Interfaces that are not just bad, but intentionally bad (often in a funny way)
Some examples
- an address input but every letter is set by a drop-down
- a volume slider, but you have to catapult the ball into place
- a time control where you have to manually drag a sun and moon in the sky

If you are looking for excuses to make it more evil make it accept Hawaiian style addresses with hyphens, like this one for a Walmart:
75-1015 Henry St, Kailua Kona, HI 96740
Oh my god
Loads of people have letters in their house "number" part of the address, as well as a much smaller number of addresses including a ½.
Tbh part of the point of Bad UX Battles is to highlight the things that people assume are true (but are not)
