Remember seeing this and thinking we all have that one client…
It could work if the users doesn’t question why your site asks for camera permission
Yeah, could actually be a cool feature
Suspect if we went down that road though, the next thing would be - can we add some sort of filter over the camera stream, to make the potential customer look like they NEED to buy my products…
Charles Babbage put it best:
I am not rightly able to apprehend the kind of confusion that could provoke such a question.
When I was young and didn’t know better I was hired to make a small website for a pet company. What started as a simple broucher about their business morphed through multiple revisions into a completely custom CMS monster that had integration with their inventory system so the website always had the up to date items they carried and prices.
I had to put my foot down in the end. They were happy, everything looked and worked great, but they wanted one more thing to top it off. An animation of dogs running down through a a grassy field playing with each other around the logo. I was like, you mean hand drawn like in a Disney movie?
Do it
ah so that’s what Screen Mirroring is for!
I find it so cute how he cluelessly wants to have a mirror on the website. It reminds me of people wanting to download more RAM or store Wi-Fi in a box for later usage.
I probably have a box of those old AoL CDs lying around somewhere. Does that help?
Like the box that contains the internet on the IT Crowd…
As the audience stares in sheer awe !
:)
So kind of the Elders of the Internet to lend it out!
It needs to go straight back to Big Ben… Great episode :)
My brain hurts reading this.
This is great
I have to wonder what sort of model of the world someone who makes this sort of request has. How do they think mirrors work? Screens? Images?
I have given up on Logic when dealing with clients… Trying to figure out what they actually mean is never what they actually mean.
It seriously blows my mind that some of these people are like CEO status of huge companies. How they even function in every day society and remember to breath is beyond me.
Still some of the sanest requirements I’ve read
I once had one on an e-commerce store…
“The dollar sign before the price looks a little bland… Can you make it POP or doing something more interesting like make it move around or something?”

a blackened div titled “this is a mirror >”
