Apropos my #TechIsShitDispatch threads…
If you are involved in any way with building #software, and you care about quality, for God's sake, give your users a way to submit feedback.
Not a support ticket or a net promoter score survey or an AI chatbot.
It should be a prominent "go here to tell us what we got wrong" contact method whose responses people actually read and pay attention to.
Your users are your biggest QA team, why aren't you using that?

"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.

I asked Design Week if they'd join the fediverse and apparently "it's on the backlog" 🤞

But, in direct response to my request, they instantly fixed a Bluesky bridge, so now you can follow their updates: @designweek.co.uk

🎉

This is a step in the right direction 😎

He trobat el súmmum de l'hostilitat en la introducció de contrasenyes: camp de contrasenya format per 8 camps , on es van omplint, un a un, els caràcters que introdueix l'usuari. Inefectiu contra keyloggers, això només aconsegueix impedir integrar gestors de contrasenyes. Per no dir que prohibeix contrasenyes de més de 8 caràcters (que a més només poden ser dígits). Vist als webs de Banc Santander i Triodos (i en aquest cas, només permeten 6 caràcters). #uxdesign #webdev

Today is the day before I write my weekly newsletter, so of course Brave chooses today to roll out an update that obliterates all of my open tabs by combining "redundant" "inactive" ones. And then automatically opts every user into this feature.

I had a few Mastodon tabs open, now they are just one tab that points to mastodon.social.

So, uhh...anyone write anything good on #Product / #UX topics that they want me to feature this week? 😅

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'm a bit late to the party, but this post from Sara Wachter-Boettcher from 2023 is even MORE relevant today
"Hey designers, they’re gaslighting you."

Working on simplifying the Sender form (while also working on a big update for Send with Keila on Keila Cloud).

I found that a lot of users filled out the reply-to fields even though they aren't really necessary. So I think I'll hide them in an expandable element now. #buildinpublic #uxdesign #foss #opensource

Techies are always chasing the mythical tool that will let them "focus on the work" and avoid tedious distractions like "talking to people." AI tools are only the latest to promise this impossible dream.

But talking to people IS the work. You can complain about it on the internet, or take responsibility and make your life a lot easier.
