    I think we can simplify this with one slider that covers the entire range of post codes: 00000 - 99999

      Slider? No, it’s a button that you have to hold down to scroll. And it moves ridiculously slow, like some streaming services.

        Easy, 36-base slider with 6 place holders. All potential post codes between 000000 and ZZZZZZ.

          You could add a scroll wheel on the screen that you drag to scroll, and let the user set the gear ratio via a similar mechanism.

    I also made some dumb number entering shenanigans for https://faxyourballs.com/

    My favorite was suggested by a friend: the radial button selection for every digit, but with digit “10” sorted up at the top.

    I should go add some more…

    I don’t care what the particular number is, but it’s a dart throwing game and you have to get all the numbers correct in one shot or start over

    I remember when r/ProgrammerHumor was full of hilariously bad UX/UI. There were so many amazing entries.

    In all fairness, it’s not like an address is a well-defined thing in the first place; this form could be made better by eg adding a very small non-clickable preview map where you can manually enter coordinates, preferably in a large font of course.
