DaveKaz<p>In a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UX</span></a> meeting a one woman has said “delightful” 6 times. I am defiantly not the touchy feely UX panacea guy. Does the thing work and is it easiest way we can achieve it. Then let’s worry about animations and if they are appropriate.</p>

Matt Godden<p>Spent a bunch of time today user-testing with people in a government org for their design of a website that some people are required to use - there's a section to put a 13 character numerical string, which is usually expressed as sequences separated by hyphens (which don't count to the total number of characters).</p><p>They aren't storing it with the hyphens.</p><p>Their form has a hard limit of 13 characters.</p><p>See where this goes? You can't paste the string in, because you hit the character limit. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UX</span></a></p>
