It's kind of astonishing and sad at the same time how much money all the big AI companies earn but how bad parts of their UIs are.

A few quick example from the top of my head:

The Claude web UI for example takes multiple seconds to load.
For a simple input interface.

Mistral uses checkboxes for their libraries which are styled like radio buttons. Basic UX mistake.

Are they vibe coding all their frontend code or what?

Hi @tchambers,
let me ad one:

- not having a culture of repeated real user #UX tests (a la https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Make_Me_Think). With special focus #onboarding.

@NGIZero may have resources for assistence and coaching, ask them.

Totally not scientific poll: Do you use Lists on the Fediverse? If so how?

I've tried using them but they just feel a bit tedious as it's not easy to edit them.

I’m working on a blog post “The 7 Deadly Sins of the (Current) Fediverse Web #UX” … a quick readable but thorough listing of the top 7 things many on the #Fediverse have been trying to fix for a long time, making some gains on - but that everyone knows needs to be fixed. Not specific to any one Fedi platform. Only abt Web UX. What would you add? cc: @scottjenson @cheeaun @elk @dimillian @MonaApp @dansup @mark @samhenrigold @fediversenews

@lightweight
> a single app consolidating lots of open social feeds could be a compelling capability

A multi-protocol client would be cool, but that's a known idea. What I'm focusing on is that it's not so much the number of apps that's overwhelming, but the number of places to look for notifications.

I'm wondering if there is a way to gather the notifications that arrive for various apps, and echo them in one preferred app, all within the device. A functionality that could added by installing one new app, with servers and apps otherwise working as normal.
