Here’s an example of poor design from the YouVersion browser app. Snackbar notifications should not stack on each other, otherwise you get this and the screen becomes non interactive… Their mobile app does not trigger these snack bar notifications, so the experience is much better than in the browser.

A Jersey Mike’s just opened down the road from our house. I placed my first order at the new location today, and was delighted to discover that the Jersey Mike’s website is awesome! You can tell they put a lot of care into the user experience. Adding an item to the “bag” (cart) is very satisfying. A little image of the item flies over to the bag and disappears inside while the bag bounces up and down. Do they need those animations? No. But it makes for a delightful little ordering experience. Well done Jersey Mike’s.

wife: Daddy’s making us breakfast because he’s a saint.

daughter: No, he’s not a saint. He’s just a yucky guy.

me and wife: 😲😲🤣🤣

A stack of various books is neatly arranged on a wooden shelf.
