thank you for this
#design is so important and sadly too often overlooked by a community that is overflowing with technical talent
I personally believe Librreoffice would be so much more popular amongst "non-technical" people if its design was even better than it already is.
Microsoft has set the bar low for UX so it should be easier to beat.
In our latest office hours, we chat with Design Manager Laurel Terlesky to talk about the cross-platform design system she and her team are building. If you're curious about Open Source design and/or the look and feel of Thunderbird, check it out!

UI/UX Design Studio Manager Laurel Terlesky's #fosdem talk is online! Explore Thunderbird's journey toward a cohesive, scalable, and data-informed open-source design system that unites desktop, Thunderbird for Android, and beyond.
This is what I think about whenever infosec wonks on here start telling people they should use matrix or xmpp+omemo or whatnot instead of signal
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.

Design Systems are only as good as their implementation.
So why are there no good evaluation tools for design patterns?
😍 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.

Reminder: new home for the Inclusive Design Principles
inclusivedesignprinciples.info… the old domain has lapsed and now advertises gambling 😑
I'm just going to say it. Whoever designed the new notifications layout and design for Mastodon needs to go back to the drawing board (and UI design school). In some cases, esp if you start off with a tag, it looks and works horribly. (desktop view). Way worse than the old way just a month or two ago.

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

Was meint Ihr wenn das geändert würde auf Senden?

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 🙌
