I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, most of y’all don’t know what it’s like to be a fediverse developer of a popular project and have to deal with all the negative feedback and personal attacks
Let’s be nicer to the devs of the fediverse who have been doing this mostly unpaid for the greater good, all I ask is for basic respect!
Anfora, Prismo, Firefish and dozens of other projects have been abandoned by their devs, and I’d bet the fediverse mentality towards devs is part of the reason
One good way to support the Fediverse's volunteer devs: ask them to work with volunteer design and user-research practitioners who help them to develop and test usable designs – before any substantial code is written.
Testing mockups and prototypes with the community would reduce unhappiness all around.
There was an unintended outcome of tagging ALL observations from every Agile sprint—rather than only tagging observations that related to the current sprint's research focus…
As time passed, some of the qualitative data became quantitative as the sample size grew.
I think I just found the worlds worst faucet design. Not only was it not at all obvious how to use it. Once I DID figure it out, you can't easily change the temperature after it's running!
Qwerty keyboards are laid out to keep the arms of a mechanical typewriter from hitting each other as you type, because letters that are more commonly used side by side are farther apart on the "keyboard".
Thumb typing has different constraints. There's probably a case for a different keyboard layout, now, to reduce common typos.
Who would research new layouts and the demand? One of the O/S publishers?
Any online forum or community (slack, discord, subreddit) for #ixd#design to reflect and deconstruct, discuss each other's pedagogy, syllabus, assignments, exercises?
Basically place dedicated to learning & experimenting with how to teach the craft of designing interfaces
Or online design forum or community (slack, discord) where people reflect & deconstruct, discuss UI metaphors, widgets, affordances, patterns, taxonomies, navigation schemas & their connection with social practices in depth
Book with fun practical exercises to help people develop a vocabulary to imagine, conceptualise, NOVEL UI metaphors, widgets, affordances, patterns, taxonomies, navigation schemas & understanding their connection with social practices.
Basically a journal dedicated to experimenting with how to teach the craft of designing interfaces and deconstructing syllabi topics, assignments, exercises?

Hi! I'm Morgan, a #Software engineer living in western #EU. I work as a lead developer, with an increasing focus on the #HumanFactors involved in making software. I'm also pursuing a #Psychology degree with the aim of becoming a better #UX#UI designer. When I write code I use #Java and #Typescript but i'd like to go back to #Ada someday.
I also love #Music (yes, all of it)! Share your favorite song with me! 🎶 I'm learning how to play #Drums and might dip my toes into #MusicProduction in the future.
I've been interested in decentralized tech like #Matrix and #IPFS for quite some time. And I still hold a tiny bit of hope that #Blockchain might yield something good eventually (but I don't have a pyramid scheme to sell you I promise).
