We Make Things Nobody Asked For
UnnecessaryUI is a satirical collection of absurd interface experiments. We embrace AI slop, feature creep, and over-engineering to build the UIs that product managers dream about and developers have nightmares over.
What Is This?
Every demo on this site is a standalone UI joke—a tiny monument to the absurdity of modern software design. Infinite confirmation dialogs, emotional progress bars, AI checkboxes that refuse your input. Each one is a real, interactive prototype that works exactly as badly as you'd expect.
Why Does This Exist?
Because the best design satire is indistinguishable from a real product roadmap. Feature creep, AI hype, dark UX patterns—we take the stuff that actually ships, crank it one notch past reasonable, and watch it collapse under its own weight. Every demo here started as a joke and ended up feeling uncomfortably familiar.
Who Made This?
UnnecessaryUI is by Maks Surguy, a creative technologist and artist making interactive work for the internet and beyond.
Need the Search-Friendly Version?
The funny UI design examples guide gives the project a more editorial overview if you want a cleaner entry point than the full demo gallery.
What Should You Do Now?
Keep up with fresh UI nonsense, feature creep sightings, and demos that should have stayed in draft mode.
@unnecessaryuiA slightly more visual way to keep tabs on unnecessary interfaces and other bad ideas executed with commitment.
@unnecessaryuisSend this to the coworker who just added "AI-powered" to a button label. They need to see what they've become.
Next time someone proposes a 47-step onboarding flow, casually pull up this site. We'll handle the awkward silence.
Present these demos in your next design review with a straight face. If anyone asks, it's "market analysis."
