Nervous user interfaces share their own problems and insecurities…

Nervous user interfaces share their own problems and insecurities with their users:
  • Confusing title.
  • Subtitle, explaining the title again.
  • beneath several sentences that restates the title and subtitle but simply jumbles all the words around to make it justify its existence.
  • Button asks me to “Confirm” or “Apply” but as to what I’m confirming or applying I have absolutely no idea unless I go back to the text and fight my way through it all again.
Confident interfaces know exactly what to say, and don’t outstay their welcome. [Selbstbewusste Benutzeroberflächen wissen genau was sie sagen wollen, und überreizen unsere Gastfreundschaft nicht.]
