Oh, what also just comes to mind is the #Polyproto protocol. I think it may have been created in reaction to ActivityPub's complexity and issues around identity, not sure.

And another protocol in the works, inspired by AP is #Versia.

What I notice is an uptick in interest in #Hypermedia and using the open web standards as intended and best supported in browsers.

You see that in web frameworks that go for radical simplicity, like #Datastar at https://data-star.dev where the front-end offers intermediate-mode #UI and logic shifts to the back-end.

What I found interesting (for its concepts) many years ago when #LinkedData was still hottish, was the #Hydra hypermedia project.

Open Risk

@openrisk@mastodon.social · 2 weeks ago

A perennial challenge of the #opensource universe which now is inherited by the #fediverse too, is the lack of good user interfaces. At best they are poor imitations of some proprietary original.

This hinders adoption and differentiation, as the majority of people are used by now to slick, streamlined experiences.

The problem is of course that whatever shaky economics applies to open source developers, does not apply at all to #ux / #ui types 😔

Freedom or safety: choose one. This is the false bargain we were offered after 9/11, the ideology underpinning the PATRIOT Act and the (permanent) suspension of human rights.

@pluralistic I do not support "the idea that Mastodon's rough edges are due to the fact that it's open and federated", but it's because the Mastodon overlords act like little dictators similar to their big corp counterparts, thereby driving away huge numbers of developers who might otherwise improve their #UI and #UX. Big corp owners have enough money to compensate for being dictators because ... people do need money.

The long text "You are not allowed to quote this post" makes the boost pop-up too long because it doesn't wrap properly. This might get fixed in the final version, but for now, I'm changing it to a single-word message for our instance.

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.

Screenshot of iOS 26 shortcut widget. The button text and icons are of poor contrast compared to the background.

Screenshot of iOS 26 Safari browser. The URL bar is way too transparent and makes it difficult to read the text and distinguish it from the background.

Screenshot of iOS 26 control center. The contrast of UI items and their icons is poor and indecisive.

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 !

"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.

You can scale objects proportionally in Penpot by activating the scaling tool from the preferences menu, or pressing the K keyboard shortcut. When you've enabled the scaling tool, the cursor changes from a single two-headed arrow to a double two-headed arrow. Any object you resize will be scaled proportionately when the scaling tool is enabled.

@penpot Well, this is awkward.

At some point, while saying or writing “activating the scaling tool from the preferences menu”, you may have thought, “Hang on, why do we have a -tool- in the -Preferences- menu? None of the other tools are there.”

In reality, it’s neither a tool nor a preference. It’s a variation of resizing. You’ve implemented it as a mode which is:
• easy to enter by accident
• hard to notice (zero indication unless you happen to be hovering over a resize handle)
• easy to forget that you’re in while doing non-resizing things.

Standard design for this is a -quasimode- where you hold down one or more modifier keys while doing the resizing. (Penpot could use Alt+Shift+ for this.) A quasimode is:
• much harder to enter by accident
• impossible not to notice
• impossible to forget that you’re in.

@serapath as far as I can see, they have removed most of the admin web #UI and replaced it with command line only, hope they put it back, or it's a #Geekproblem deadened, we do have to stop people making mess like this.

A refracting rounded rectangle shape appears see through but blurry, and distorts the image behind it. If you squint you can make out the text “App Library,” in white hovering over a light background.

This is not an exaggeration it really is hard to see the text. Imagine listening to someone whispering in a crowded train and trying to understand what they are saying.
