Don't get me started on single line text fields. Either I have the world's slowest onset of Parkinson's disease or they are making the clickable area of the text Fields smaller than the height of the actual text these days
Edit: Someone agree with me don't just upvote lol
Well, I won't agree, because I haven't met with this problem yet. I'm just here to somewhat disagree with the upvote part: in my book, upvote means agreement. I find it totally unnecessary to repeat the same thing, when you can just upvote. That's what upvote is for.
(But as I said, I didn't agree, so it wasn't me, I didn't upvote.)
Hahaha
My favorite text-related thing in websites is the layouts with enormous amounts of screen real estate that still put important information (like song or film titles) in a single line that ends up truncated with ellipses (with bonus points when they don't even implement a tooltip that would show you the whole thing). Like, wrapping text and having the rest of the UI flow beneath it has been easy to do in any language for literally decades, but somehow programmers don't know how to do it and designers get pissed if you make them even think about that.
And could I get a web page that doesn't have massive blank spaces on the sides? I get you need a mobile site but for fuck sake my monitor is 16:9 .
