I'll make that control so big and sticky you'll soak your panties.
Justing sitting there on that web portal, using that big sticky control, and wet n' settin' in it. -
Wisecrack482223dIf you're gonna make it big and sticky, at least add a little button or tag to easily hide the component off to one of the sides like a drawer element.
Options beat simplicity, ever time. Some people disagree. But every piece of software I've ever seen, in version 2 or later, when the devs simplified it, people complained about losing features and options.
If anything if you're not gonna add it now, always at least keep it as a potential future improvement.
Two mobile devs were talking for 10 minutes in this zoom meeting whether "the component on the bottom should be hidden, or made sticky".
I just could not contain my laughter any longer when they showed an animated mockup comparison, and the product manager yelled excitedly: "Oh yeah, I love the one where it's very visible and sticky! But could you make it bigger for me?"
Sorry HR. I will never become a grown up boy.
