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)
But before he discovered the awesomeness of #OpenSource, he had to learn a hard life lesson about pricey, proprietary software...

reminded me of a post I wrote in 2019: Design, and Friction Preventing Design Improvement, in Open Tech
https://www.harihareswara.net/posts/2019/design-and-friction-preventing-design-improvement-in-open-tech/
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

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.

Every hashtag on every post on every platform should ALWAYS be pascal case (a.k.a. camel case). I made this to illustrate how screenreaders read hashtags depending on whether they are lowercase or pascal 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.

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.

... 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....

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