Peak UI Design

I unironically love this. Of course it isn't practical in the least, but I love it.

Ask your doctor if Moctopril™ is right for you!

My insurance won't cover it so I have to take Novemugust...
- Novemugust is what I’ve been feeling since last November.

Wake me up when Septempril ends

Like my father's come and past, 1900 years has gone so fast!
Sounds like a medicine I shouldn't take before asking my doctor if it's right for me.

j'october

Tu as october
- Il elle on a october

Jocktober

Jocktober is a workout month. Gotta get fit for my costume.

This is disgusting. Who enters dates in month/day/year order?

That’s just adding salt to the would
How do you see that and this is your reaction?
- Because I'm not used to entering dates in month/day/year order.

Managust, the manliest of months.

I use febr a rch btw

You know about neo-pronouns, get ready for neo-months

Decay is my favourite month

"Lousy Smarch Weather"

'Do Not Touch -Willie'

"Hey, good advice!"

I’ll take “le tits now” for 300, Trebek _HEH _HEH
- I think of this moment probably once a month and I don't know how to make it stop.

Genuine Question:

if you could split the month names into 3, how would you split them to maximise their choice overlap?

"em" is a good overlap for nov/sept/dec
"uar" is good for jan/febr

I assume the post is the maximum. I wonder if there is an algorithm for that
- hierarchical letter clustering would be my guess, or graph-based clustering using ngrams of 2-4 as nodes and maximising for connections.
  Or using an optimized Regex and printing out the DFA?
  Edit: Quick N-gram analysis (min=3, max=num letters in that month)
  
  This gives the following 9 ngram frequencies greater than 1:
  
  ary uar uary emb embe ember mbe mber ber 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 4
  As you can see two longest most common motifs are "em-ber" and "uar-y"
  Using this I propose the following graph

My wife and I always wanted a joctober baby...

I was born in _arch, btw.

Might be a decent way to sort out bots, actually.

at least no bot will solve this

I, too, was born in Septulyber.

I understand that bad ui is a fun meme and all, but how did this one even cross their mind as an idea for a bad UI? This is a new level of convoluted I would not have even considered.

My guess: someone messed up trying to split an array and split a string from it and hilarity ensued.
- It's too unregular and too good to be a coincidence. Unless they threw an algorithm on it that was intended for whatever

Febroctobus

Hmm. A bit redundant.

[ j ] [ uly ] [ y ]

Shoulda just been [ ul ].

The blank options solve that
- I'm not saying it doesn't work. I'm saying it's not good.
  Almost perfect. 0/10

12 options as 21. At least it counts as lines of code for a performance review

I love the month of Jay

For a truly peak UI make the text very light gray on a white background, in the thinnest font possible.

Best CAPTCHA ever!

They should have included an option for BC and AD.

Decoctorch sounds kind of cool though. Anyone up for some calendar reform?

Napoleon intensifies
God, always. Nothing about our current calendar is working for me.

Novemy showers bring Septanugust flowers.

At least that's what my grandma would say.

Joctopril, novel ACE inhibitor, new and improved!

I saw decapril, thought the exact same thing

Funny month names are all well and good, but the only ones you can actually spell here are:

January, March, May, September, November, and December.

Otherwise, it's

Febranuary, Japril, Juney, Julyber, Maugust, and Moctober

I think you can use the white space so it's "[ ]april"
Kinda true. If the whitespace from the top row doesn't get removed, you are left with "febr uary".
- With white space you can make every month
It's 12, looks good to me.

What, you werent born on Mapril 0, 1901?

The zeroth of March is not uncommonly used, to mean the last of February whether it's the 28th or 29th

We can clearly see that this design is silly, because it allows for so many invalid states. Yet when we represent some type, let's say in Java, were so often forced to do this exact same thing. Have variables in a container of which only a certain combination is valid. And then have at most a comment saying "this number is only valid if X is also set" or "if the validity boolean is true". Luckily Java finally has some ability for the so-called sum types now, just like Haskell's data types or Rust's enum types. Imo any language should have this.

Having data dependent on each other in a type means that either you have redundant data (so one of the fields should be computed) or that your container tries to be too generic (you should in this case prefer an 'Apple' class over a 'Fruit' class with an enum field 'Type')

febroctorch has the best weather in Argentina on Tuesdays

It's basically the UI equivalent of this:

Yes, it's a fully-functional date picker and also deviously, wildly, uncomfortably outside of aesthetic norms. Also, there's a lots of fun, invalid combinations of input outside of the usual "February 30th" shenanigans.

Why yes, that's my birthday: the 32nd of Septunepril. What's the problem?

This is a repost from last japril.

I was bowm in Novemy :3

Captchas are really getting out of hand.

https://programming.dev/c/bad_ui_battles

This is beautiful. Especially if it filters the available selections based on what is selected in the previous column.

Munepril babies always end up junkies and deculyuary babies as priests

Every single one so far.

I sure hope that 190 slider is also logarithmic

Finally I can input my birthday of Jempril 0 without having to use a keyboard!

m'ugust

Joctober and Novemy sound fun!

MOCTOUARY

Septoctougust

Why yes I am a Jaber baby how did you know

🎶Tell my girl I will be gone by Septuneugust🎶

Febranber. Those who know, remember.

Febrauary?

"Feb"+""+"uary"
- For that matter, August has to use a blank in the first position as well

M arch btw

deculyugust

Yeah baby I'm a scorpanceitarius

any

disappointed that july is not split into j/ul/y

day 0

septuneuary

They can't even align the goddam controls smdh

What happens if you accidentally click something in the third box for July?

Edit: nm, I see the blanks as the first option

Julyuary

Manuary

Why is the first part of October in the second box?

Now I want to see an infographic about the common parts of each of the months

febr//uary skips the second box, so I think they aimed to have an equal number of options in each column.
- That's dumb... Why not separate both in 3, o-cto-ber and fe-bru-ary? This is bad, but in ways I find unacceptable.

Febrempril, sounds like a Tolkien character.
