Every enterprise app feels like typing on a mushy membrane keyboard.

Every enterprise app feels like typing on a mushy membrane keyboard. You click a button and get a gentle animation, a swooshy transition, a soft bounce, and zero clear feedback that anything actually happened. The entire B2B software industry optimized for how tools feel during a fifteen-minute sales demo instead of how they perform across an eight-hour workday, and the result is professional software with the tactile precision of poking a marshmallow.
@Daojoan I call this kind of software Playmobil sets

@Daojoan Gawd yes, every new version of an application seems to show less information, more blank space, and slower.
Like okay I _get_ that whitespace makes for an aesthetically pleasing design, but I'm at _work_ I need my tools to be functional, I genuinely don't care if they're pretty or not.
I have recently been playing with Stylus so I can tweak the CSS on web interfaces. Mostly to fix some apps that are borked in firefox. I wish I could do so in work, but we're locked down from using such things.

@Daojoan i keep fucking misclicking all over windows 11 because the startbar and its guts are made of fucking flan, and its just jigglywiggly. if i alt tab or close a window and mouse too fast, the entire contents of the fucker sqwoosh over to one side and i click on something else. its like wet, trolly musical chairs with custard desserts
@Viss @Daojoan for work Windows I just set everything to minimal fluff with the start button on the left etc.
The worst enterprise crap for me is Microsoft on mobile with a million layers of passwords, PIN entries and fingerprints. I bought a cheap phone three years ago to keep work separate from personal, and all that bloat is so heavy that I regularly mis-click because it is busy updating the screen while I'm trying to log in.
And now they're sending messages that I must update my Android to a newer version. It's THREE YEARS OLD!

@Daojoan uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh
this reminds me of microslop teams, does that count@maypop_neocities @Daojoan teams fits this yeah. Some days, it feels like an IRC client for a toddler rather than something for Big Kid Serious Work.

@danschnau @Daojoan they have put in effort to actively prevent me from using basic features of my browser such as middle clicking to open in a new tab, text editing is this inconvenient Not Markdown thing where it opens a laggy emoji picker whenever i use parentheses, trying to upload a file takes 1 morbillion clicks to get to the Actual File Picker, if a message fails to send it Just Sits There being confusing forever, etc

@maypop_neocities @Daojoan yeah it’s really frustrating. The halfway markdown editor is the worst.

@maypop_neocities @Daojoan I feel like it is just way slower than it should be

@danschnau @Daojoan if your context menu needs a loading screen you're doing something horribly wrong
