Improving Drupal's Administration UX
For our first sponsored contribution time, we plan to help improve Drupal's admin UX. This details who we have coordinated with and what the next initiatives will be.Lullabot
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

Why do websites have so many pop-ups?
UI experts say pop-ups are a bad idea. So why is the “most hated” element of web design everywhere?s.e. smith (The Verge)
Alex Castellani (@alecaddd) is leading the charge on Thunderbird’s modern redesign, and we're thrilled to have him on the team!
But before he discovered the awesomeness of #OpenSource, he had to learn a hard life lesson about pricey, proprietary software...
Find out that story and much more in our "Meet The Team" series, a series of conversations with the people behind the software you use every day.

@thunderbird, I'm enjoying the updated Thunderbird 112 Beta UI, but I was wondering if you could give us the option to disable the tab area and/or the new top menubar depending on how we configure our UI. If I choose to use the left-most vertical menubar, the other areas seem redundant and take up space. Otherwise, I like the new direction! 👍

Alex Hollender's retrospective on a recent Wikipedia redesign
alexhollender.com/wikipedia-20…
reminded me of a post I wrote in 2019: Design, and Friction Preventing Design Improvement, in Open Tech
harihareswara.net/posts/2019/d…
On:
those exceptional #FLOSS projects that aren't developer tools, and are robust, & have high-quality user experience
problems & approaches in product management + #UX #design in #opensource, and people already working on it
Wikimedia & design pushback specifically
When designing #UI and #UX, consider the "Golden 8-bit Ratio".
Text was never hard to read on 8-bit systems. A single character, generally 8x8, was a large enough portion of the screen to remain legible at distance (ie TV).
The textmode ratio of 40 or 80 chars wide by 25 chars high is a standard on MANY microcomputers and terminals. On terminals, this ratio exists today.
Consider making your text at least this large. Tiny text is really, really shitty.
Update: moved this to my new writing site so there’s a new URL.
Every hashtag on every post on every platform should ALWAYS be pascal case. I wrote this to illustrate how screenreaders read hashtags based on their case.
It’s a small thing that all of us can do to build a more inclusive, accessible internet for all. Please take the time to use pascal case.

I'm in a hotel room with a visual-audible doorbell. Twice staff has come and knocked instead of used the doorbell. It's both good and bad. Here's why I'm grateful they're not using the doorbell.
Don't watch if flickering lights are a problem.

Mobile #UX has been alinenating users from the file system (so that Big Tech, not the user is in control) and has been dumbing down users to the point that they don't understand the concept of the hierarchical file system anymore.
Software (even open source software) increasingly tries to hide the file system from users. Or neglect it. #Gnome and Co. don't even show application icons on the ELF executables.
It needs to change.

E-Ink Design Principles for Web and Applications
... I’ve looked for existing sets of guidelines without luck, so apparently I get to draw my own line in the sand. An earlier version of this post proved popular on Mastodon, I’m expanding it here. This is a first effort and some of my suggestions may not hold up, though I hope most will. Further discussion on that point at the end of this post....
- Persistence is free
- Pixels are cheap
- Paints are expensive ...

I felt this needed and deserved a post-length treatment and so it has one.
I'd very much like to hear criticisms / improvements.
