Instead, we're increasingly treated to small-screen, single-app paradigms copied from smartphones."

I don't want to seem like I'm nitpicking too much, but the "Hold This Call?” UI needs another pass.
The small "Hold” button is nearly touching the needlessly tiny dismiss (✕) button, which only seems about 24pt wide.
This will be error-prone for lots of people in practice. Opposite actions should not be represented by tiny, immediately neighboring touch targets.
I know it's a small thing, but it's the kind of thing that has me worried that institutional UI talent is drained or marginalized.
Completely agree. Further evidence that Tesla-style bad #UI design “principles” are making their way into other software. (Imagine this kind of design on a screen in a moving vehicle. Good luck with the hand-eye coordination, requiring taking your eyes off the road — what could go wrong?)
Also, does the latest generation of UI designers have toothpicks for fingers?
NeoComment will come with "Forest" and "Beach" themes both available on light and dark mode 🤩.
I need to show some more details for items in Explore view which is currently not available in the "trending" APIs of NeoDB, so I will have a hard time to initiate multiple requests to NeoDB instances. If I face rate limits I might be forced to show less items in the explore.
Thanks to @penpot I'm not a designer but Penpot made everything much easier for me.

Six weeks until this fundamental iOS navigation component ships.
I… can’t use this.
Just a theory, I know zero things:
It used to be that Tesla hired, or at least aspired to hire, mostly #Apple #UI/#UX/#IA people. Years ago.
Then Tesla's UI/UX/IA turned to shit, peaking right about, well, now.
I fear that Apple has been hiring, or aspiring to hire, mostly Tesla UI/UX/IA people lately because this is the kind of "we don't care about the customer's successful accomplishment of a task" shit that Tesla pulls every day in a no-accountability company culture.
Hey #elixir folks, do you know any agencies that have both #ux #ui #designer and #Developers
I want to start workign with an agency that can help with design work, but also potentially support some dev stuff as we rewrite in elixir

Things I'm digging with Mastodon 4.4:
- The ability to zoom in on media. Smooth and elegant
- The language button in the "write" box that lights up in yellow when another language has been automatically detected (I usually write in English or in French and regularly set it wrong first and have to edit the post - as I did on this one, for example)
- The audio controls
- The revamped mobile interface, though I probably won't use it much.
Kudos to the @Mastodon team!
Not only is this a great #UI history lesson (Mac/Apple fan or not) but the presentation on the page as you scroll is nice and smooth.

Released Mastodon Bird UI v2.3.0 (stable) for Mastodon v4.4.0 (stable) after over 130 changes and more than 6 months of work. https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon-bird-ui/releases/tag/2.3.0
There are many updates, but because of my limited time, I've mostly been focusing on keeping it aligned with the main branch rather than adding many of my own features. I hope you like it anyway.
Sometimes, a UI doesn't feel right because it's too fast. The solution: Just slow it down a bit. #uxdesign #ui #screenshotsaturday #buildinpublic

I don't care for #Gnome (a desktop environment for #linux) and I want the world to know why.
