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

Ticked off a few more to-do items for my upcoming icon manager app!
- When importing a folder of icons it now scans sub-directories too. It can handle icons with the same name but in different folders, and it looks for keywords in folders and filenames like "solid" or "duotone" to detect the icon style.
- You can filter by icon style
- Flip a coin. If it's heads, you can delete a set without the app crashing. (I got tails)

Images without text alternatives is a huge problem. The issue is magnified when the image is a link. Realize that screen reader users receive no valuable information when the image wrapped with a link is missing a text alternative.
Ensure that all images, including those that act as link, provide appropriate text alternatives.

Now we're wondering: might we find among you (or your network) two experienced UX/UI designers who are willing to engage in a 6-month volunteer project? We need to come up with a way to fit a bunch of new functionality into the already busy player screen. We're looking for two people (one for each role) to help us with this.
Interested? More info? Send a DM or email keunes@mailbox.org.
Boosts appreciated!

I'm thinking about the new start window for Renga with the new anonymous chat option. I think I'm going for this but I don't like that "create new account" is a radio item+a button (in the current version it's just a button and there is no radio list)
Any idea how to avoid this? Thought about it on and off for a few days but didn't come up with something convincing

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

The way I like to frame it is that there is a distinction between
- technical problems
- product problems
- user problems
The first two are the most salient - and usually most rewarded - problems for the product team. But no matter how many of those problems you solve, your user doesn't care. #UXDesign
