#222Shame this is light on inputs - would be great if it included text boxes, checkboxes etc.

#223Glad to see this posted on Hacker News. I used this for our internal tool and the first time I showed it, almost the whole company were in awe. I made a kind of public version here if you're interested: https://scan-viewer.vercel.app/scans/1 Edit: Guess I should explain a bit more about this tool. Our main product is a handheld scanner that can take an individual’s body measurements while they are fully clothed. You…
I love the TODO. Awesome loading spinner too, and graph! Now, the frequencies used by the buttons are grating on me with headset on. I wonder if there are free sounds we could use for those. Or, if they could be procedurally generated, so as not to be the same sound every time.

> This sounds like a feature rather than a bug. Website UI should not make sounds. While I usually agree, the sounds that it does make are not intrusive. They're only in response to user events (page loading/loaded, something was clicked), aren't stupid-loud (IMO), are very brief, and don't include any spoken words. Think of hearing button feedback in sci-fi videos. For what it's worth, I'm also using Firefox 79 and…

Arguably indeed. It's an opinion.

If my device started beeping and clicking when I don't want to, then I would mute the sounds. Browsers have a mute feature which allows me to mute the browser separately from other apps.
My device even has a physical mute button. If I don't want my device to start beeping and clicking then I would either not browse some random location I found on the internet (because random locations on the internet are well known for starting sounds) or I would use the device's physical mute button.

Tesla has very convenient wiper hardware button.
That button is the opposite of convenient. It only makes the wipers wipe once. There's no way to start/stop or change interval with it. Probably the worst design flaw of the car. It wouldn't be a problem if the auto wipers worked, but Elon doesn't think they need a dedicated rain sensor because he believes neural nets can solve any problem just by looking at the autopilot cameras. So they don't work. (I should note t…
Do you really think that changing wiper mode on Mercedes is much better than "touch screen"? It also awful to use and really hard to locate without looking at. I own both vehicles and they are about the same.
In emergency situation you can pres button as long as you want, a little bit weird but in reality very useful. Also pressing this button will open wiper settings and you can blindly pick a different mode.
Not like typical implementation in Mercedes.

I’m not particularly interested in whether Tesla is more or less convenient than whatever Mercedes is up to, what matters to me is that is is undeniably less convenient than the standard lever toggle that has been around since as long as I remember. In my 2004 4Runner I can go to any wiper configuration without taking my eyes off the road (or even thinking about it at all), I can do the same for head lights, radio, cruise control, A/C, traction control, transmission toggles, etc. To pay $$$ for a “modern” car that makes every one of those core operations more difficult is, to me, absurd.

I'm not an absolutist about physical controls vs. touchscreens. Of your examples, A/C and traction control are automatic enough that I don't fiddle with them during driving and the touchscreen works great. As for transmission, the Model 3 doesn't have one. Radio, headlights (brights), and cruise control have physical controls that work just fine.
The wiper controls are really my only complaint. It wouldn't even require hardware changes to fix, as they could add a gesture involving holding the button while moving the stalk or something like that; they just haven't bothered, presumably because they think everyone should just rely on the auto wipers.

#229This looks very much like INGRESS, and it seems no due credit is assigned.

I strongly agree. My ideal for user interfaces would be something where the user can skin everything to look like they want it. For example, imagine the web browser version of winamp... a page has text, images, links, and that's it- the browser displays it according to your skin.
Isn’t this the entire point of CSS? And perhaps Semantic HTML as well?
No, CSS is for the website designer to design the page. The point is that every page should conform to the users preferences automatically.
