I absolutely hate the “yes or later” UX patter with all my fucking heart. If you were asked whether you’d like to be hung today, would “no, but please ask me next time we talk” be an acceptable answer for you? Because it sure isn’t for me, and that’s how I feel like when I’m forced to click that “later” button. Even if a software, in fact, is going to ask me later, it should at least have the decency not to rub that fact in my face. NVDA’s “skip donation this time” is a much better wording here.
@miki I'm also a massive anti-fan of the "Are you enjoying this app? Yes/No" popover that then forces you into a review or feedback path. In probably 70% of cases I'm fairly ambivalent up until that point, and then I'm instantly on the side of "not enjoying".
@TheRealRichii My principle is “if you force me into rating something, I will break your poll with nonsensical data.” This does absolutely nothing, one data point doesn’t matter at all, but I guess I just am that petty.
@TheRealRichii sending Mastodon requests is really not that difficult. I can do it via curl, no reason why you couldn’t just do it via the requests package or something of the sort. You don’t need a library with all it’s limitations, this is not Telegram.
@miki agreed! One thing I’ve seen recently like this, a couple apps ask would you like one month free of our outrageous subscription which lets you pay monthly for stuff we’ll say is now free, or would you like to skip the trial? By skip trial, obviously it implies you pay now. Except it means skip the opportunity to join the membership and don't pay a thing.
