  • There's a Chrome Extension he made based on this: https://anatolyzenkov.com/stolen-buttons/button-stealer

    I used it for a bit until I realized... I probably didn't want a third party reading all my traffic. But I did like having it for a bit.

    (It is linked from the page, but given how the whole page is CTAs... it's hard to notice!)

  • Too bad they're just static, as the website doesn't copy the hover state or the on-click animations.
  • When did we stop making buttons that actually look like a button?

    The bas-relief era of UI design now feels like a golden era, and the early "Aqua" versions of Mac OS X the ultimate evolution.

    Everything since then feels like we're regressing.

    The "add comment" button for this comment is literally a solid blue roundrect. It's not even obvious that it's clickable.

  • I may have missed one by looking at this huge dump, but NONE of the "buttons" I saw there actually looked/felt like a button. Something I can feel that I press it down and it gives proper visual feedback, like a little 3D effect.

    I'm old-school. :)

  • Brad Woods has an amazing website dynamically illustrating the concept of "juice", which he defines as "the non-essential visual, audio and haptic effects that enhance the player's experience".

    There's an example of how you can juice up a simple "delete" button with various levels of UX. I encourage you to play around with it to juice up your own buttons!

  • I have noticed on occasion websites with a missing button. Now I know what happened. Finally, closure.
