Putting the horrible music aside - this calculator approach is really nice.

Tydlig is a revolutionary new kind of calculator for iPad and iPhone that sheds the legacy limitations of old devices, for a truly modern experience.

Why do most iOS calculators look like someone taped an old plastic calculator to the screen? How come calculator apps still have buttons like MC/MR/M+/M- when there is enough room on modern devices to store all numbers you could ever think of?

Great captchas at letterboxd. Context fitting, human friendly and way faster than decoding some scrambled pixel mash. We just stood up, and slowly clapped our hands.

Enjoy these crazy japanese ui transitions and animations on the Infobar A02 phone. Seems a bit overwhelming at first sight, but we would love to test it and see how it "feels".

Interesting read about what not to do (depending on what you want to achieve ;) ) and ethical UX

Let’s start with a little game. In iOS, there’s an ad tracking feature that allows advertisers to identify you (albeit anonymously). It’s turned on by default. Let’s see if we can work out how to turn it off together. Go into your settings and scroll down....
