I think we can simplify this with one slider that covers the entire range of post codes: 00000 - 99999
With no detents.
Slider? No, it’s a button that you have to hold down to scroll. And it moves ridiculously slow, like some streaming services.
Postcodes are letter letter number number space number number letter letter
What about our Canadian brothers and their codes?? F4S6D4 😂
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.
Ah, I’m thinking US ZIP Code
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…
You should make a post about it, I think it would do numbers!
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
Yeah that part I was particularly proud of… It’s so unusable
I remember when r/ProgrammerHumor was full of hilariously bad UX/UI. There were so many amazing entries.
I’ve made a community for it cause I wanna see more of it
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.
