The ultimate inaccessible UI components

This is just a bit of fun from Reddit. Engineers competed to see who could build the worst possible UI.

Highlights include:

  • A “Delete your account” button hidden behind three red cups that shuffle like a magic trick. Good luck finding the right one!
  • A volume control slider that doesn’t stop at 100% (the sider will just fall off the end and break)
  • An “unsubscribe” button next to a fan, which ‘blows’ your mouse cursor away when you try to click the button
  • “Real dark mode” – everything is pitch black except for a few pixels of light emanating from your cursor

…the list goes on. Images and videos demonstrating the designs are in the article.
