Just noticed that both WhatsApp and Signal signify who wrote a message just by aligning left for the other person and right for you, and different colours. In groups they also add names but not in 1:1s. Does everyone find that easy to understand? #ux#ui
@joelanman I can’t speak for everyone, but I find it intuitive, especially seeing that my bubbles are near the send button and animate in when you press it. I usually also remember who said what in a conversation, so it’s pretty clear.
Sure, for someone who just sees it after the fact, it might take a second, but for a personal chat tool, I think it’s totally OK. I know what my name is and who I’m chatting with, no need for constant names.
Anyone have any free #UX books they like, or books that I can buy one copy and legally share with a group of people? I want to have a book club with my team at work but I don’t want to make everyone buy something
Please, please, please… check on the sites you build that using Command + click always opens links in a new tab, even if you used some JavaScript to build a dumb Web link!
I see too many sites where Cmd + click opens the link in the current tab, so when browsing a list of links, if I want to open them in new tabs (for example to compare products), I need to use right click and then select the "open link in a new tab" option, for each link.
Cookie consent popups and banners are everywhere, and they're silently hurting the speed and UX of your pages. Learn the most common problems – and solutions – with measuring web performance with a content manager platforms (CMP) in place.
a #UX question. If a site has both a signed out home page, and a signed in one (for example a feed or dashboard), what should you see if you're signed in and try to view the home page?
for example, if I go to figma.com or twitter.com I see my signed in home page. If I go to mural.co I see the signed out one, and have to manually click to the signed in one
@joelanman I don't think I expect either, there's so many examples of both. Aws and pagerduty both showing a product page with a link to login, Jira showing whatever you chosen Jira 'home" page is, Facebook and twitter showing the signed in stuff. I note that all my examples have a different signed in domain than just their standard site though and I definitely navigate to the different domain.
How is having to select “no” 12 times to opt out of tracking and targeted ads acceptable? This is why ad, cookie, and tracker blockers are so popular. #UX#failhttps://instagr.am/p/C7ZlpmCvB-b/
