Public transit, Public transit, Public transit.

Another example of taking an ordinary User Interface detail and turning it into a marvelous experience for a website visitor! This one was found inside a UI of the Slack messenger service. It’s available both as a web version and a separate, cross-OS application. The nice touch is that when you enter a HEX color code there (e.g. #ff3333) – the messenger will display it for you instantly in a separate little box.

This is a small detail, still feels like an extra mile that the service is willing to go to make life easier for its users. Did you know, that Google Maps have a little easter egg UX feature about the shadows? If you’re looking at any building or a landmark on Google Maps – the service will display shadow it casts. In real time! All accordingly to a time of the day.
