James Ward @jamesward.com · Nov 19 I’m not a designer, but is anyone else totally triggered by the corner style of this button in the United app?

I kind of like it, as long as it functions reliably. A few times before this button implemented, the app interface lost the small original boarding pass button on the upper-left screen - right before boarding causing me panicking. After that, I save the boarding pass on Google wallet nowadays.
that seriously hurts my eyes!
oh… my…
Did they use real scissors to cut that button?
No, it could just be a bug.
Ew. 🛑
It's terrible
Yes! Not something I usually notice/think about, but it’s really clumsy😵💫
ABSOLUTELY BARBARIC!! The radii don't match... That's disgusting!
Now you’ve shown me it… yes!
True! They should take a look at interactively.info/article/perf...
Woah, looks like United actually rolled out a new version today with a fix for this!
Shudder…
no it shows that they printed the UI elements on paper, cut them out, and lovingly hand-arranged them. that's true craft
The engineer who merged the change looking at this thread
It annoys me that it's not a real QR code!
more like boarding ass amirite?
fwiw it takes extra work to make it look like that
I almost blocked you just now, but this button styling isn't your fault
What eyeballing your radial edits gets you. There's numerical values to guide you to match the bottom layer in most photo editing software but quick and dirty will give you icky edges like that.
I hate it thanks.
My god man put that thing away! My eyes!
here ya go send this to them codepen.io/thisisnotrj/...
i am a designer and UI engineer and i'd be shocked if *that* is the most glaring UI issue
Yes. Am triggered.
It's not the worst I've seen but it could be better and it's hard to imagine how the person implementing it got it so wrong.
This begs for a single source of truth for such corner radius numbers.
