@nikitonsky: If only computers could create directories instead of complaining about it

Thanks @grishka for the picture

@nikitonsky: Your regular reminder:

1. Do not crop pictures
2. If resizing, keep the proportions

The only operation you are allowed to do on picture is: resize while keeping proportions

The bottom one is the best, probably, but then it decided to add some height by blurring the image itself. It doesn’t add anything but makes it more confusing

Thanks ovf, @The2lb3oz4dr10grOfHedgehogs and @sobersolar for pictures

@nikitonsky: If you do two columns and then a photo side by side, try not to change the order (Kindle on the left in the table, on the right in the picture)

@nikitonsky: That feeling when you just wanted an empty document but three managers from three different teams want your attention

@nikitonsky: If you want to tell user about next step, try not to show that message as error

@nikitonsky: What a useless little dialogue. It usually happens when you are trying to connect to a public Wifi but fail. iOS gives you three options:

- Use Without Internet. Why would I want to do that? “I cannot send email. Mark it as Sent anyways?”
- Use Other Network. Sounds okay, but useless most of the time. People don’t usually have a list of networks they want to try. I tried one network, it didn’t work, let’s just forget about it.
- Cancel. Cancel what? This dialog appears out of nowhere, waaay after you first tried to connect to Wifi. Basically it’s a result of some internal check iOS does, not a user’s action.

@nikitonsky: Now that’s a window that needs a cancel button. This happens when you try to close “Compose new tweet” window

@nikitonsky: If you want crazy-fast loading times, do not show 5-seconds-long welcome animation
