Another one: What do people use for reading out loud articles? At best on #Android? I find that #Pocket has really robotic voice, #ReadAloud has terrible #UX and I just miss the way this works in #MSEdge.
I've been wading into code/APIs I have zero experience with and making remarkable progress. I'm thinking of it as creating a good starting tutorial.
I'm still giving it fairly tiny utility programs (I am just prototyping crazy stuff) I'm not building anything complex. But as a #UX Designer the fact that I can build a working prototype in #javascript or #processing so damn fast is remarkable.
One setting/feature I wish was in #GNOME Files (formerly Nautilus) is the ability to exclude removable drives from the recently-used files list. "Recents" is handy and I'd like to leave it on, but what's the point of listing thumb drives that aren't even in the system?
(Same could be said of many network file shares, but that should be a separate setting. Maybe have a list of paths and addresses to ignore, like /media or 10.10.10.10:/ )
On behalf of our team at #MHCID, I am delighted to invite you to participate in our inaugural #HCI and #UX Industry #Survey.
This survey is part of a study on the state of our industry which will drive a deeper understanding of how our community is faring during this time of complex transformation.
There is something wrong with this #GitHub#UX that I can't quite understand how to fix, but the problem is this:
Almost 100% of the time when I'm writing a response in a discussion, I want it to be in response to an existing thread, not as a new post. But this UI just screams "new post please!" and relegates the "reply" functionality to visual second class.
Oh, I'll bet it took courage. It takes courage to eschew all established mobile platform workflow and design best practices, bind navigation for slide-in panels to unrelated controls, and manipulate the Bézier curves on radial corners sufficiently to trigger my OCD. Sonos met my low expectations for a next-gen app experience perfectly. #uxhttps://www.theverge.com/2024/5/9/24152675/sonos-new-app-bad-reviews-response-statement
The YT app on Apple TV is really testing my patience. Besides the super annoying pause screen that kicks in now, and the screensaver, it resets your place in a list every time (e.g. going through your watch later list, or videos from all your subscriptions). If you play a video, it always resets to the top of the list when you back out to the list. I hate this behavior in any app. 😡 #UX#UI#annoyance#gripe#AppleTV
For all of my complaining about the #ux of kitchen appliances, my new Breville oven is actually astoundingly good.
Not only are the controls clear and easy to use but there are small little touches that are just very well thought out. For example when the timer gets close to zero the internal light turns on automatically.
Does anyone have a good working definition of what an "intuitive interaction" a means? Not academically as such, think something usable as design principles.
I currently working with:
"An interaction is intuitive when it is learned and understood through the act of doing it once"
The key for me (I think) is in the "act of doing it" bit. Learned by doing and simple enough that's it's understood as you do it.
As GitLab 17.0 is coming next week, it looks like my very polite reminder nudge might have encouraged the #GitLab maintainers to request reviews from specific people for the automatic ("system") light/dark theme mode implementation, hopefully this lands in time for 17.0 🤞 so that we don't have to wait another full year to enjoy this #accessibility and #UX improvement, even if somehow considered experimental: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/150254#note_1895251010
I think #2FA with these little 6 digit codes from a dongle or a little app is a good hack to somehow fix our huge security and identity issues on the internet. But there are two implementations that make my blood boil every. single. time.:
#Paypal not accepting ENTER as confirmation of the entered 6 digit code (you need the mouse, arrrrgh!)
#Github just autoloading after the 6th digit is entered, because no-one ever mistyped anything.
I took some time today to learn how to make a trendline graph for statistics pertaining to 2 similar processes for one of my clients. This is created using #QlikView, a #dataanalytics visualizer by the #Qlik company. The #UI does not switch to dark mode easily: it takes a lot of tinkering to get it to look good. As far as #UX goes, Qlik can improve their application a lot.
Today, I scheduled a pickup with UPS (Belgium) through their website. The process took me 47 minutes. I came across broken links, horrible translations, and lots and lots of mystery meat. It's a #ux clusterfck. Needless to say, it’s inaccessible as fck too. How is that even possible?
