Working on a site with many users where entering the correct email and cell phone number is important. I really want to get away from the standard pattern of having to enter these twice.

What are your thoughts/experiences related to this design pattern and what alternatives have you perhaps seen ?

Testing the autocomplete attribute for input fields and getting some weird errors. No matter what field I complete first using the autocomplete selector, the autocomplete features of other fields send the info to the already completed field.

I must be making some sort of obvious mistake in my code. 🧐

Just made a clickable prototype in PDF. If I make buttons and links clickable in a Keynote document (so they jump to the correct page), those links are carried over when I export to PDF. Been doing this for many years now.

The client was blown away. They can use that file for demos and testing. And it's one portable file. Sometimes simplicity is key. You wouldn't believe how much money and time I've saved not using Adobe products.

And no, it's not right for every use case.

I've often resorted to using language to taunt or gibe with witty or sharp phrasing when for example customer service has been especially poor. It's made me feel better in the moment. Perhaps even, dare I say, superior...

Now I try to avoid doing that. I don't have to engage. I'm fine with another human being having a bad day at work, or other things going on. I don't know their circumstances.

NOT engaging in that way often makes me feel better in the long term.

I may have just chosen my next #email service based on their drawbacks list. This likely sounds counter-intuitive at first, I know, but then makes perfect sense once you read it.

And no, not because it doesn't have drawbacks. Because email-specific values and beliefs are clearly expressed and they align with my own.

If you find yourself looking at the Migadu pricing page, take note:

"The plan prices are flat, per account. An account may have unlimited mailboxes and addresses. Forget now the idea of paying per mailbox. Additional email addresses do not incur additional costs. The limits are therefore also per Migadu account and not per mailbox. We are metering account usage across all active domains and mailboxes on the account, which get counted together towards the plan quotas."

@fenomenologen Fascinerande ändå vilka nivåer det tog sig till idag. Eftersom köerna varit onormalt långa, och medierna rapporterat stort om det, så har man sagt åt resenärer att vara ute i "god tid". Så människor är ute i rejält god tid och det skapar i stället ännu mer problem.

Systemfel där föreslagna lösningar förstärker problemen tycker jag alltid är så spännande att läsa om och lära sig av.
