100. 햄버거 버튼
When common practices and trends should be questioned.
The issues of this pattern are now widely recognized, but what’s the real solution?
That little three-lined button is the devil. Whether you call it a side menu, navigation drawer, or a hamburger, hiding your features off-screen behind a..
There is probably no other UI element on the web that has witnessed such an intense and successful career as our well beloved friend: the hamburger button. Since it’s first appearance in the official Facebook app, it looks like the hamburger, or mobile icon, is about to claim the title of King of Menus and […]
The hamburger button, by Nick Meloy
Let's Not Kill the Hamburger Icon Just Yet
“I just don't want us to get caught up in test data and interpret it the wrong way. I do believe reports that the majority of users don't know what the hamburger menu icon means. And yes, out of sight is out of mind. However, we need to remember that design is about putting focus on certain things and hiding others. Interface design is about the clever manipulation of objects for guiding humans to complete tasks. Let's keep those tasks in mind as we wade through our analytics. Let's hide some things and show others. Let's remember our purpose and not get too caught up in certain details if they are not crucial to our users' success.“

This is by far the most reasonable thing I've read on the use of the hamburger icon.
A Case Against the Hamburger Menu
Last time, I wrote about placing the hamburger menu on the right instead of the left. This article made me rethink the merit of using the hamburger menu at all.
This article echoes one of my points “It doesn’t help that the button is often placed in the top left corner — the hardest place to reach when using the phone with just your right hand.”
However, it also raise the point that “ what’s out of sight is out of mind. Any navigation options you hide behind the hamburger will be forgotten, or at least used a lot less.”
This makes a lot of sense to me, because I have personal anecdotal experience that seem to agree with what the author is saying. One of the apps I am working on recently launched in Apple’s iOS app store. I was showing it off to an intelligent young lady on a date last week. She owns an iPhone, so I presumed that she should be quite familiar with the hamburger men. To my surprise she did not press it at all, and did not realize the app’s 2 very cool functionalities: Location based database, and user generated travel tips.
This experience made me rethink about using the hamburger menu. I want to feature the best functions in the app more prominently rather than hiding them behind a button! For instance, Flickr is a good example of great functional UI using UITabBarController.
Stay tuned!
