Did you notice? We have almost 5.000 followers!
Now we're wondering: might we find among you (or your network) two experienced UX/UI designers who are willing to engage in a 6-month volunteer project? We need to come up with a way to fit a bunch of new functionality into the already busy player screen. We're looking for two people (one for each role) to help us with this.
Interested? More info? Send a DM or email keunes@mailbox.org.
Boosts appreciated!

as an electronic services librarian I sometimes tell guests on the computers that a website, which is the ONLY way to complete their task, is just broken, and no one is likely to do anything about it. Older guests in particular want to think that some human being at the company whose NAME IS ON THE SITE can fix it. Or that I can. Au contraire. #UX #uxdesign


I really want accent colors to ship in GNOME, and we’re approaching the beginning of the GNOME 47 cycle, so… what’s blocking it? The short answer: design consensus.

The longer answer: there are outstanding—but imho not insurmountable—concerns and a lot of design work to do around it. 🧵

The unlabeled buttons and hidden menus are going to reduce engagement and usability. This has been shown by every usability study on the subject for decades. See: bookofadamz.com/general-user-e… #UXdesign

Excuse me? This is the exact "flight number" text provided to me. I tried a few variances and nothing worked. Oh well. #UIDesign #UXDesign #fail


Let's do some #xmpp #uxdesign !
I'm thinking about the new start window for Renga with the new anonymous chat option. I think I'm going for this but I don't like that "create new account" is a radio item+a button (in the current version it's just a button and there is no radio list)
Any idea how to avoid this? Thought about it on and off for a few days but didn't come up with something convincing


Accessible Numbers—a nice resource for "presenting numbers and data clearly". accessiblenumbers.com/ #a11y #numbers #UIDesign #UXDesign


Float labels may put you in the cool club, but they’re terrible UX.

It’s much better if your input’s label:

1) is legible
2) is above the input
3) doesn’t move about
4) is not mistaken for an answer

Simple > clever

What is Cognitive Load? youtube.com/watch?v=t32ysGaBRT… #UIDesign #UXDesign #Design


Describing a button as "Meatball" is an insult to the designers' inability to create a button that accurately describes its function. If you can't create a user interface who's buttons are easy to understand then that interface is not easy to understand and therefore not intuitive. #UXdesign

Great resource! Screen Readers get allot of coverage, but contrast errors are sadly incredibly common and effect hundreds of millions of people with poor eyesight every single day on at least part of almost every app and webpage out there.

The way I like to frame it is that there is a distinction between
- technical problems
- product problems
- user problems

The first two are the most salient - and usually most rewarded - problems for the product team. But no matter how many of those problems you solve, your user doesn't care. #UXDesign
