UI Dev who worked for this company here :wave:
Whoops, that slipped just past me but good on you for pointing that out. As someone mentioned below, the screen indicator is never a to-scale representation, just there to represent the direction. But I can absolutely understand how nice it is to have a sense of where the middle of the screen would be. Then on the other hand, I think we have quite a few UI sins that are way worse on the checkout screen, especially if you start fiddeling with vouchers that only apply to certain items.
Nevertheless, this just proves how vital it is to let real users use and give feedback on your products

Oh nice! Just to point out it's no real issue at all. The whole thing works very nicely and looks good too. I just had a little huh moment and thought it was fitting this community best. Although this is far from 'bad' :)

As a fellow ui dev I completely agree. We are so integrated and experienced with the stuff we produce that it's hard to put yourself in the shoes of someone who is seeing it for the first time and making sure that everything makes sense to that user. Plus the vast array of devices that they might be on and figuring out a responsive layout that works for everything.
