good at making ui, bad at using it

I always joke that one reason I’m good at making UIs is I’m pretty poor at using them.

Case in point: I was always wanting a system-wide easy to use “audio output selector, independent of any app.

The closest was under that bluetooth thing, but even once this control panel was open, it was another tap to open the top left panel, then a long tap to open the bluetooth list.

Somehow I never saw the AirPlay icon I was hoping for, up there in the top right.

(it was drawn to my attention by a “how to get a damn Sonos speaker working” video, but the frustration with Sonos is another story)
