One of the worst volume controls I have run across is when the UI tries to simulate a physical knob. More often than not I see this on VST Plugins and I have yet to find one that I actually like - they are all equally terrible. They appear to fall into 3 buckets: 1) Worst: Direction of the cursor has move in a circular pattern as if dragging a physical knob with a cursor. 2) Annoying, but least common: You have to mo…

I think the one with 100 checkboxes with each for a given volume gives direct access to the level of volume you want. Mad, but usable.
I get it's not the same thing but I wish iOS had lower volume settings. As it is, if 100% is max volume then the difference between 0 and unit above 0 on iPhones is about 30% volume. Like, in the middle of the night when everything is quiet, if I was the set it on the lowest setting and make some game sounds I could hear it 2 rooms away with doors open. But, Apple decided you don't need to set it below 30%. Maybe the…
This is an issue in many audio players. Maybe not as bad as in iOS (I don't know, can't compare), but the steps when the volume is low are nearly always too large. I like to play audio on low volumes, especially in quiet environments, and it seems designers/developers don't cater to that use case. One step is too low are even complete silent, one step louder is too loud.

I upvoted you - at least, I hope I did. HN's vote buttons have such poor UX that a) it's difficult to hit the right button b) it's impossible to know, after doing so, whether you even hit the right button!

The same with brightness. I have a shortcut to lower the white point because the lowest brightness level is still far to bright in complete darkness.

There is either an unvote or undown option once you’ve hit one
Ah, thanks. That confirms I upvoted, but I think "vote" is a silly verb to use to convey the opposite of "down"!
I love that there are no images, not even Unicode emojis, no ads, no side bars, etc.
