Pocket Extension

Since I had the Pocket extension enabled on Chrome, the top stories would appear beneath my search field.


When I clicked to save one of the articles to Pocket this pop-over appeared.
The message explained that Pocket had a new extension.
Since I was a fan of their app, I figured I would explore, so I clicked "Add to Chrome"

The page reloaded and the Google logo was no longer above the Search field. Although the placeholder text still said "Search Google or Type URL" it felt like it was too far different from what I was used to seeing. I had to disable the extension.


When I clicked "Turn on top sites" the row of my most visited sites appeared.

Thank you page


This subtle checkmark animation on the Thank You page was nice.

Panera Bread: Error Message

This web page is for building your sandwich order. 


The "Your Selections" section is done very well by indicating the items that will be included and those that will not. 

The special instructions field caused an error message that was not in plain language. 

Help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errorsError messages should be expressed in plain language (no codes), precisely indicate the problem, and constructively suggest a solution.
