I remember when r/ProgrammerHumor was full of hilariously bad UX/UI. There were so many amazing entries.
I also made some dumb number entering shenanigans for https://faxyourballs.com/
My favorite was suggested by a friend: the radial button selection for every digit, but with digit “10” sorted up at the top.
I should go add some more…
You should make a post about it, I think it would do numbers!
I think we can simplify this with one slider that covers the entire range of post codes: 00000 - 99999
Slider? No, it’s a button that you have to hold down to scroll. And it moves ridiculously slow, like some streaming services.
With no detents.
Ah, I’m thinking US ZIP Code
Postcodes are letter letter number number space number number letter letter
Put all of the postcodes in a paginated list that displays only 30 entries at a time (60 and 100 per page for premium users), only has next/previous navigation buttons, orders the entries by popularity, and goes back to the first page if you reload the website. Or an infinitely scrolling page that loads each page dynamically, but returns 429 Too Many Requests if the user scrolls too fast.
Map the tonal range of the human voice from 00000, the lowest-pitched, to 99999, the highest-pitched. Sing a note into your microphone that corresponds to your postal code.
EDIT: Make it a Base-36 range so as to allow letters A-Z when they are used in postal codes.
I reckon someone should try that
I don’t care what the particular number is, but it’s a dart throwing game and you have to get all the numbers correct in one shot or start over
Yeah that part I was particularly proud of… It’s so unusable
