the challenges are all logistical and there's no good way to show a month outside of the established way, those values are fixed but it can be 4 or 5 rows tall, date range selection patterns across weeks or months can get real confusing [the worst one I worked on was at hotwire and date range is the core value for the whole rest of the site so it was important]. now that I work in finance business and country holiday calendars have to interact with the users' selection and it can get even more confused in my experience they're fiddly over interesting and there's not a lot of space to try anything new because the calendar month and week display are pretty much set in stone

Pile Of Garbage posted:i just had a look at some other google apps and everyone who said that it was for a unified UI dealio is correct. in fact it looks like they're tryna make the entire top 1/8 of every app into a kind of search bar (like even for apps that in no way need one it still has a thing that looks like one) with the "your profile pic/main menu" thing on the top-right. while youre not wrong the previous "unified" look was exactly the same with the top search bar where the app title is in the middle of it with the profile picture on the right except the left had a button for the hamburger menu the question was why would they get rid of the left button and its because its time to change slide out menus to pop up ones ostensibly because they can interfere with gesture navigation

as an american, I find it an affront to my country that a hamburger button or hamburger menu does not actually refer to hamburgers no good hamburger has toppings neatly stacked in matching dimensions. the best representation of a burger is the last 5 seconds of a 2000s era carls jr commercial where they plop the western bacon cheeseburger on a completely white surface and all the ingredients pop out also, the western bacon cheeseburger is an idea that is great on paper but terrible in practice. When you try to chew through a single onion ring, it takes the onion innards with it. And lord help you if you allow it to cool down because it is inedible when cold.

i’m actually kind of boring when it comes to burgers. bacon cheese or a black and bleu are as crazy as i tend to get. and a thin soft bun, gently caress all of these gourmet~~~~ burgers that are on hard bread that you can’t fit in your mouth without unhinging your goddamned jaw

Anything else is no longer a burger, it's just slop.

i mean i don't think slop or trash-tier meat is either fair or accurate in many cases. it's just the trend, like those dumb loving bloody mary cocktails that have a million sides stuck on a straw.

to be honest, an in-n-out cheeseburger or double double is my ideal burger, but sub mustard for the thousand island and I like their fries too, despite their inconsistency

well they don’t have any other book sales app do they? that at least probably makes them a net positive amount of dollars vis a vis its development time. i actually use it as my ereader on my android tablet because it syncs uploaded epubs but lol at buying something from them

I feel like we’re going to find out some day that, much like launching a new product is the best way to get promoted for product management and tech leads, the best way to get promoted in the finance department was to kill an unprofitable product
