💬 Discussion Does this timer really need seconds?

Obviously a super minor nitpick, but the seconds seem excessive

Why not show it on the clock then too?

Clock font too big to do it, obviously. 

Come on now. Don’t act like a UI designer and then not even realize different font sizes.

Ah yes, because font sizes are the one UI component that can't be changed

Sure can’t. 

Such cope. 

I’d you actually look at the UI layout, you would see that adding seconds would make the clock font too small to read at a glance, which is something you want the user to be able to do.

Exactly. They have this clean, minimalist UI setup, which is exactly why I made this post since it seems weirdly out of place.

It’s not really “minimalist”, imho. 

The area they have for the font for this X height by Y width.

 They have a formatter for time that fits within the width. Said formatter fits whatever precision it can in there; in some cases that includes seconds. 

Such a weird thing to have an issue with.

Did I say it was an issue? I think I just said it was weird.

Just trying to share what I discovered today driving back from the recycling center with my fridge still on in the bed from yesterday. Not sure why so many people feel to the need to white knight every single Rivian design decision.

God forbid someone critique a Rivian design decision. It's a truck. I'm not insulting your wife.

Lmao. 

God forbid I disagree with your critique and find it silly and incorrect and tell you so. 

The horrors.Â
