Thanks for sharing, Constantinum!


Thank you for the share, constantinum.

And hi, everyone! I'm Samuel, the person behind UserOnboard and the Patterns update.

If you have any questions, I will be keeping an eye on this thread.


Thank you for sharing this!

I made those teardowns, and it's awesome to see people getting use out of them. :)


Hi all! I'm the person who wrote this. If you have any questions or comments, I will be watching this thread until it slides off the page. :)


Hm, it definitely isn't supposed to work that way -- could you share OS & browser so I can replicate? I can't get it to happen on OS X / any browser.


That's awesome to hear -- thank you for taking the time to say so.


No problem! It's important to appreciate skills in others you wish you had. If you've never read Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics" I think you would love it. He talks about the "Infinite Canvas" which is (to me) a loose metaphor for screens. If I taught UX/UI and Logo Design at an Art School, it would be one of the first books to throw at my students.


Totally agreed on every count! That was (and is) a highly-influential book for my perspective on UI.


Thank you for posting this!

I'm the person who made the teardown -- if you have any thoughts, I will be checking this thread often. :)

Every single one you've posted has been educational for me. Really helped to internalize good design more than reading theory.

I enjoyed that you also did the Mario mobile game. I don't think too many game designers would make half of the mistakes Nintendo did there, but it's amazing to see so many examples of poor design in one place.


Wow! Never come across useronboard, but now I've seen it I can't believe I went so long without it. For someone lacking experience in UI/UX this is fantastic.


Welcome to the club!


Thank you for the kind words! It's really rad to hear.


Hi all! I'm the person who made this. If you'd care to share your thoughts, I plan on watching this thread closely today. :)


@amitmathew Thank you for sharing this!


I am 100% in agreement with you.

Is it your website as well? If so, the mobile experience needs a few tweaks. Especially when viewed in portrait orientation.

The arrows to go back and forth are tiny, and very close to the slide window. Which, when your finger overlaps onto, jumps around and zooms. I thought maybe swiping would work, but it does not.

The top menu links are pretty tiny as well.

I thought it worth mentioning because the amount of work to fix it seems pretty low.


Yes, it's my website and the mobile experience completely sucks. That's the highest item on my to-do list for site updates.
