What suprise me most is why the heck has it not been the DEFAULT way to do this for years!?
Disruptive, so it might frighten some users. But so awesome. .. .

#162Nitpick: the backgrounds are a whopping 992 × 624, ~180 KB. This makes loading and rendering not as smooth as it could be.
Re: Skeuocard
#163There's a lot of negative reactions on here, and some of them might be valid (unfamiliarity, any friction reduces sales). But I liked the concept. The "flip over for CVC" worked for me on Firefox, and that was an elegant solution. I think a lot of the criticism could be avoided by just making it static: don't load the image and redraw the card based on the input numbers. It then boils down to, essentially, the image…

What problem is it a solution for?
Re: Skeuocard
#164Backspacing in the middle of a number triggers a behavior which is very counterintuitive, particularly with the examples provided.

If you want to see an actual usability improvement, look at what Stripe has done with jQuery.payment: https://github.com/stripe/jquery.payment A good example is in their Checkout javascript component: https://stripe.com/docs/checkout

Sure, he's called Jacob Neilson and he wrote a shit tonne of books on the subject about ten years ago.
Although I understand that its the norm to ignore previous computing history for the illusion of inventing something, more so if it's pretty.

#166So… * Didn't realize I had the name and expiration field to enter as well. I thought it was just show casing the number entry. It wasn't until I came back here to HN to read comments that I realized that there was more to the demo. * Tab order was wrong. * 1Password couldn't fill in the data. * No indicator telling me what credit cards you accept. * CVV was hidden. There were several cases where I'd finished filling…

Any other credit card form I've seen does nothing to convert either -- and it's not it's job: by the time I'm entering my credit card details, I'm already "converted". Most of the objections are dead simple to fix (tab order, 1password), and address nothing inher…

>Citation needed.
I'm getting pretty tired of this attitude. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for healthy skepticism, but if you can't grasp the basic understanding that the biggest hurdle to conversion is friction in the purchasing process then your in the wrong business mate.
This isn't rocket science.

#167That's so clever it ticks my "creepy" box. Well done... sorta.

This was the primary weak point in the implementation. Expecting users to recognize that they can click on the static-looking fields on the card (or relying on them to use tab to move between fields) does not pass the grandma test. It'd be great if you detected when a field had been fully filled out and moved to the next one automatically.
I'm sad that I (a professional web developer for the past 7 years) failed the grandma test.
That's more of an indictment of the software than it is of you. FWIW it took me a moment too.
Re: Skeuocard
#169The part for me where it breaks down is when you have to flip the card to the back to fill in the CVC. I also hate when fields auto-tab for me. Also, why does it hide the expiration date and name fields initially?
Wait, the card actually flips? I completely didn't realize that the first time around. As for the second time around, I still don't know how to flip the card. What am I missing?
I didn't realize it either, there was no indication that my expiration date wasn't valid.
By the way on the Mastercard on Chrome 28 on Win 7 it shows the CVC on the top left corner of the card so that the text overlaps with the border. On my Mastercard atleast the CVC is in the middle of the card.

That's really good feedback. I actually hadn't tested on iPad, believe it or not -- I created a ticket on it! https://github.com/kenkeiter/skeuocard/issues/28
Good luck. Apple purposefully disables the ability to control where the keyboard is entering text. AFAIK there's no workaround (I’d love to know if there is!)
This [1] suggests it can be done, but in circumstances that aren't applicable here.
