In @enafore interface, every time I try to write a post I'm constantly distracted by new posts popping up just below where I'm typing. I have ADHD, which makes this kryptonite for me. But it must be a bit distracting for anyone.
It would be awesome if the posting box filled the screen, requiring me to manually to scroll down to see my feed. Or even better, put the compose box in its own tab, separate from the home feed.
Please, think of the easily distracted 😟
What’s worse is Apple teaching devs to get more excited about aesthetics than usability and accessibility. There are going to be many apps taking a step back in terms of UX.
It’s not really a new development, though, right?
You could tell something was off at Apple by observing how the content, structure, and focus of the Human Interface Guidelines changed over time. And that has now arrived at a point of #UX and #IxD arbitrariness in #LiquidGlass.
I wonder what that feels like to the original Mac team who put so much heart, thought, and skill into _their_ work. ☹️
The final Liquid Glass is super cringe. Here some of the worst moments. It is tech-broey, immature and an accessibility dumpster fire.
The lack of understanding the difference between design and decoration is incredible.

I have a friend who has been teaching anthropology as an adjunct lecturer. They're keen to get into UX, in the hopes of finding more stable employment.
Can anyone think of a way to get funding to pay them to work on #fediverse UX stuff? Ideally for a year or 2, but even a few months would be better than nothing.
TBH I'm not sure what form this might take. Ideas on that welcome to. Maybe a freely-licensed framework for doing UX reviews for decentralised networks?
This is the third and last in my series on #UX and #LLMs. It was the hardest to write as I (rather foolishly) take a stand on where we should go. My basic point is that the current AI bubble is going to pop. So what should replace it? I make the case that smaller, more energy-efficient, and more ethically trained models should be used for "boring" tasks. Our job is to solve problems, not look cool.
Dear website designers,
Please stop disabling text selection (highlight) on your websites.
First, it isn't exactly rocket science to bypass;
second, there are people who highlight the paragraphs they are reading.
More of this and I will copy and paste them somewhere else out of spite.

Hey @johnonolan, congrats on the release of Ghost 6.0 🥳
I was recently given a complimentary paid subscription to @webworm, a publication curated by one of my countrymen David Farrier. Although that allows me to comment on WW articles there, and AP allows me comment on them here, the two don't seem to be integrated.
I have some ideas on improving the #UX of this.

Le mode Relief 3D de l'appli Cartes IGN : c'est beau, et ça enrichit vraiment la carte ! Par contre, chez moi sous Android ça rame sévère, le déplacement n'est pas fluide du tout. Mais fonctionnalité à suivre !

Come work with me to define the future of product design education in Aotearoa!
We’re looking for an early career or mid career researcher with a strong background in teaching and design practice and experience delivering apps with modern web platform or game engine technology. We’d also love to hear from researchers with deep expertise in type design and font engineering; information architecture and data visualisation; or similar niches adjacent to product design who might thrive in our unique interdisciplinary context.

"Good design is intuitive" is so ingrained into the way we think and talk about the work that we often forget to ask the key question - to whom?
Any interface is "intuitive" to someone who is already familiar with the design patterns and the interaction techniques that it uses. Similarly, any interface is "unintuitive" when it introduces the user to new interaction techniques.

Just a reminder that I'm offering free #UX mentoring sessions for UX designers that want help with their teams (this is for personal growth, I don't do product consulting)

This pretty well sums up my feelings on the "America by design" stunt...
"In other words, we’re left with a web page announcing a new era of design for the United States government, but it’s tremendously costly to download, and inaccessible to many. What I want to suggest is that neither of these things are accidents: they read to me as signals of intent; of how this administration intends to practice design."
Well done, Ethan Marcotte.

To be usable by the less savvy, the Linux desktop lacks stability. Not software stability, but organizational and human stability.
I want maintainers to have a stable income. I want apps to last a decade, instead of having to chase the next rewrite of an abandoned project.
The Linux desktop is a beautiful accident that only exists because people devote part of their lives to it, for better or worse. We ought to support it financially, as a public service.
Hi @thibaultamartin
right, and it lacks #product management and #UX testing. What orgs does it require to foster that? "Scratch your own itch" brought us until here. How from now?
What communities would even want funding for product management? I am sure @NGICommons may help.
