Why is the “publish” button on Habré so big?

Question

Habr

The "publish" button is usually clicked only once, while the "to drafts" and "preview" buttons are clicked more often. In addition, now, due to the size of the button, it can be pressed accidentally.
Is there some hidden meaning in the size of the button? :)

Answer 1

I join. Every time I'm afraid to accidentally press it while working on an article. It would also be nice to ask for confirmation before posting, in case I accidentally clicked it.

Answer 2

I have a slightly different problem, but it also applies to the “publish” button, I can’t publish an article for two weeks, karma does not allow. no need to immediately downvote me, maybe there are a few, say friends, who will raise karma to +5?
An article about the modernization of the computer park without losing software licenses.

Answer 3

Separation of logic, probably :)
Although, in my opinion, it would be more correct to make a large preview button, like, you are sure that you checked everything ...

Answer 4

maybe the posters haven't seen this button before and the admins decided to show them where it is :)

Answer 5

Yes, what is the hidden meaning, just a cant in usability. It was not immediately visible when drawing.
IMHO vertical arrangement of these buttons would be more convenient
[preview]
[to drafts]
[publish]

Answer 6

This is so that Akella does not miss.

Answer 7

Apparently, the interface designers felt that this was the most important action. Although, in the same comments, the buttons are of the same scale.
