  • As other mentioned, lack of physical buttons.

    Minimalistic interfaces in software:

    • In websites they waste a lot of real estate on the monitor.
    • They make harder to find things navigating menus and submenus that should have the settings you are looking for but they decided that it should be better to bury it somewhere else.

    Apps and websites copying the designs/colour scheme of popular ones. How many Slack looking websites are too much?

    Copying IKEA furniture design, I don’t like most of IKEA designs and the sensation of making your personal space identical to thousands of other people personal spaces. I don’t have an issue with IKEA itself, my issue is that you try to find alternatives looking elsewhere and is the same thing, sometimes inspired, sometimes a clear copy, and most of the time even worse quality.

    I’ve been looking for a wall shelf for almost a year and it seemed that every company, every store had the same ugly designs varying a little and with different prices. I’ve just bought one that it was the less ugly I could find, it was expensive and the materials quality is crap.




















  • Sorry to burst some peoples dreams.

    The castle in the photo needs restoration, which is hugely expensive compared to restoring a house.

    I don’t know about Romania, but in other European countries historic buildings are required to be maintained by the owner and it is restricted what they can do.

    In Spain if the castle/palace is considered as a good of cultural interest, the restrictions are even higher. You cannot do activities that can damage it, like converting it into an hotel or restaurant. Also required to allow the public to visit it for free, at least four days each month.
