To be fair, I understand the arguments and to a large extent I agree with the critiques. However, I think anyone making these recommendations is vastly underestimating the capacity or appetite for most people to deal with the user experiences presented by these alternatives.
User experience is the ultimate force multiplier. For anything that requires network effects to function (ie most anything involving communication), if it doesn't *just work* then you've lost 90% of your audience.

There's a problem with the current design process that often goes unnoticed... A problem that can lead to less-than-ideal outcomes or, even worse, harm certa...
😍 Pinch me, I must be dreaming. This is a new smartwatch with a braille interface for blind users. What's even better is how beautiful the hardware is, even though users can't see it. Care and attention to detail to the max.

In just a few minutes, Inclusive Design 24 will be getting underway... 24 hours of #free talks about everything related to inclusive design: inclusivedesign24.org/2024/
1 year ago I switched from Mac to Linux for professional UX design work. In this article, I explain as simply as possible: - Why I switched to Linux - How you can do the same.
I cover design-specific concerns like: - How to use Apple devices like the Magic Mouse in Linux - Which design tools are available and how to install them - How to find help if you get stuck

Made good progress this weekend on #IconBear , my upcoming open-source icon manager for Linux.
* Install pre-packaged icon sets to quickly start building your library. * Icons are automatically categorised as "Outline", "Filled", "Duotone" or "Color" when you import them. * Icons are loaded asynchronously, for improved performance.
Once work on importing, deleting and filtering sets is finished, I'll be looking to release the app 🙌
Sketch Friday is here! I need to trace some of these. Been doing sketches and leaving the vectors to others, cheating myself of the Inkscape pleasures.
