Uz nejakou dobu pouzivam na @wrksart klienta phanpy.social. Je hodne minimalisticky. Krade IP z pokemonu, mastodon pokemon, ha, genialni! Hodne veci mi vadi.
Ale jeho naprosta killer feature a duvod, proc si ho pro doom scrolling hudby a dalsiho umeni na WRKS necham, je vizualni oddeleni boostu od originalnich postu.
Vubec nechapu, proc to jeste nema kazdy klient. UX je uplny no-brainer. Obri timeline neskutecne zprehledni.

I can understand why it seems confusing. I guess someone would expect quote mark to quote comment text into reaction instead of sharing it.
Maybe someone here can find better icon for it for better #UX ?

The next Community Office Hours on Nov. 29 at 10 AM Pacific Standard Time is all about Cards View, and we're inviting @micah to tell all! If you have questions about Thunderbird visual design - and Thunderbird in general - please send them to officehours@thunderbird.net!
Office Hours are a fun and informal way to get to know the awesome people behind Thunderbird. We'll post soon how to join us live - or to catch the recording. And get those questions in early and often! #Thunderbird #UX

Some very vocal #LibreOffice devs consider that client-side window decorations (for example #GTK HeaderBar kind of things) are "NOT a #UX #design issue", and that it's all about the burden of maintaining that across different OSes/platforms.
Yeah… I might buy their argument if LibreOffice had the guts to actually commit to only one (or two) UI layouts and toolkits, instead of maintaining *seven* UI layout choices, to begin with 🙄️

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

@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.
