Watch a 35-minute web development challenge where six developers compete to build the most unhinged, Byzantine, and devious video player UX imaginable in just 4 hours. Follow along as Michael Chan, Chance Strickland, Eve Porcello, Roxy Rodriguez-Becker, Braydon Coyer, and Devyn Coyer create intentionally frustrating user interfaces while still keeping the video technically playable. The challenge requires using Mux's open source Media Chrome library as a baseline, showcasing creative misuse of good design principles. Explore the developers' solutions including a Windows 95-inspired player, a video obstacle course, and other deliberately painful interfaces built with React, JavaScript, CSS, TensorFlow and more. Access the source code repositories for all three team projects to examine how they implemented their deviously clever designs. Gain insights into creative problem-solving, even when the goal is to make something intentionally difficult to use.
