Read this article! I promise this is not another “I’ve tried Linux but it is too hard” post but a very insightful and well-written piece on accessibility across the Linux landscape.
Thin Fonts Are a Usability Nightmare—And Finally, Designers Are Waking Up

Thin fonts may look sleek, but they’re a usability nightmare—hard to read, inaccessible, and especially frustrating on mobile.Noah Davis (Web Designer Depot)
In #Munich, the surface metro is called "S"-Bahn and the underground is the "U"-Bahn. There's this elevator on my way to work that has these three buttons: "O", "S" and "U". Which one would you pick to get to the "S"-trains when you're coming from the "U"-trains?
Over and over I've seen tourists with suitcases make the wrong choice in this elevator. It bothered me so much that I've printed a label to fix the #UX of this #usability disaster.
It's been there for 2 weeks now ✌️

My PhD student Sára and I are looking for people to participate in a study on usability aspects of interactive theorem provers. Please consider signing up!
Who? anyone who uses or has used an interactive theorem prover for whatever purpose
What? 90 - 120 minute interviews (possibly including a small think-aloud programming session)
When? interviews will be scheduled starting September 2024
Where? online (participants from anywhere are welcome)
We are hoping these interviews will help us determine how you interact with your theorem provers and to gain insights on how we can improve the user experience. We are interested in all aspects of interactive theorem provers, including but not limited to their design, their tooling, their libraries, and their documentation.

⌨️ Nielsen Norman Group research on how screen-reader users type on and control mobile devices
“Summary: Users who are blind or have low vision prefer dictation over typing with a keyboard whenever possible. Screen readers on touchscreen devices are restricted to a well-defined set of gestures which makes interaction more challenging than on computers.”

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
