  • Apart from the basic learning at the beginning when I didn’t knew anything it is helpful to grasp some basic things and see if I wanted to invest more time and resources.

    Now my current method to learn is with proper classes and use Anki to solidify the material I’ve been taught.

    Duolingo’s only purpose right now is to learn some new vocabulary and to not lose practice, the friend streaks, and the friend quest is what even in the days that I’m totally unmotivated forces me to not abandon practicing.

    I would love to move elsewhere but I’ll lost the only thing that helps me to keep on focus.



  • As other mentioned, lack of physical buttons.

    Minimalistic interfaces in software:

    • In websites they waste a lot of real estate on the monitor.
    • They make harder to find things navigating menus and submenus that should have the settings you are looking for but they decided that it should be better to bury it somewhere else.

    Apps and websites copying the designs/colour scheme of popular ones. How many Slack looking websites are too much?

    Copying IKEA furniture design, I don’t like most of IKEA designs and the sensation of making your personal space identical to thousands of other people personal spaces. I don’t have an issue with IKEA itself, my issue is that you try to find alternatives looking elsewhere and is the same thing, sometimes inspired, sometimes a clear copy, and most of the time even worse quality.

    I’ve been looking for a wall shelf for almost a year and it seemed that every company, every store had the same ugly designs varying a little and with different prices. I’ve just bought one that it was the less ugly I could find, it was expensive and the materials quality is crap.
