You were right, loved this article too, thank you for sharing. :) There is a real satisfaction that comes from these ad hoc redesigns I find, from knowing you have improved something. Not to mention the little ego boost you can get. :D It always makes me wonder how the product got that way: was the designer overpowered by constrains or was there no designer on the project at all?Did they not test the product? The most amusing cases are when by looking at the product you can almost hear the discussions that must have been going on between a designer and a non-designer with more decision power.

Speaking of bad design, who else hates the medium app? I love the Medium content but the app itself just drives me nuts ...
