In today’s episode of “Fix the forms, one at a time”, excellent iterative form design from @annaghartley’s child.
Note the inspirational change from first draft question (When will your meeting finish?) to more useful questions (Can I have a biscuit?)
(Via @DeanVipond)

Anna Hartley @annaghartley

Anyone else get messages like this from their child when they are working at home and on a Teams meeting?

In today's episode of 'Fix the forms, one at a time', I tried to book a hotel using the hotel's online booking service.

The errors included:
1. Boxes with mid-grey background so I could barely read what I typed into them
2. Had to accept their booking conditions ...

Today I learned that in La Paz, Bolivia, people dressed in zebra costumes help folks to cross the road at zebra crossings 🦓
