It's easy to see how this is bad, and I bet dozens of designers are now creating alternatives for their dribble and Twitter appreciation, but the problem is probably what led to this, not this specifically. I can see it: a contractor started with a link that triggers a push notification, then someone requested another link, then another, then it grew from there, never having the ability to stop and rethink this from a design standpoint since it would require more work, more training, more money.<p>The problem is not knowing (or having someone who knows) how to design something better, it's treating good design as a priority. It rarely happens.
