While we're talking about voice overs, let's talk about the one that actually matters - try turning on Voice Over mode and navigating the app the way a visually impaired user would. It is completely and utterly unusable.
I have folders with a few different groups of friends for sharing music and web links. Really a great tool - I'm sorry it didn't work out commercially, but I am so excited to see this open sourced!
The really strong guy at the gym has probably figured out the importance of rest. If you just watched him dead lift a ton of weight, odds are very good that he didn't dead lift the day before, even if he was at the gym working on something else. He also probably takes an entire week of active rest after every 6-8 weeks of heavy lifting. He's working his ass off, but he's also being smart about it.
Agreed. And I'm not literally running a marathon every day. A more accurate analogy might have been a triathlon or decathlon. I just wanted to paint the picture of somebody who's achieved success in something, but if you looked at them at the point end of having just done something exhausting... big surprise, they'd look exhausted.
This was the primary weak point in the implementation. Expecting users to recognize that they can click on the static-looking fields on the card (or relying on them to use tab to move between fields) does not pass the grandma test. It'd be great if you detected when a field had been fully filled out and moved to the next one automatically.
I think blind people / screen readers might have difficulty with this interface, too. It's important to keep accessibility in mind when designing futuristic interfaces.
If you press tab, it at least cycles through all of the input boxes on the front side in an appropriate manner, and you could probably design it to flip over on the next tab press. I'm fairly certain that would make it work with screen readers (but not positive).
It doesn't tab between the input boxes or even show the boxes until it's detected the card type based on first four digits. On initial load you get an input box with "XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX" and nothing else. It does not look like an average credit card form and a lot of people will be confused "where do I put in my name" when they first see it.
I don't know. The current convention is always to enter the credit card number first, then the name later (usually as part of the billing address). Once you start entering your card, the rest of the information is explained nicely.
Personally, sites that auto-tab to the next input drive me crazy. It makes it nearly impossible to edit if you make a mistake. Try explaining to grandma why the cursor doesn't stay where she put it!
