I really really REALLY wish that when I comment about #Linux DE #UX people would understand:
1. This is coming from a place of love for Linux, I want it to get better
2. I'm fairly new here and WILL make mistakes
3. I'm very welcome to be corrected
4. I'm not attacking anyone

I'm a #UX expert, not a Linux expert. I'm absolutely going to say stupid things. Could I possibly go a bit slower and be more diplomatic? Sure. Could people also not freak out and assume the worst? Please.

@technicat the original Mac UI devs noticed and solved so many problems in *1986* that more recent Web 2.0+ frontend devs just ignore -- like this one, *drag delay* -- solving the problem that when the user moves their cursor towards an item on a popup menu, the mouse may drift outside the lines momentarily *en route*, so you should make sure not to close the menu prematurely; these days lots of popup menus instantly pop closed if you stray outside their bounds #UI #UX


Oh, nice! Don Norman's *The Design of Everyday Things* is on the Internet Archive! Anyone who hasn't read this book should go check it out; it'll change your life, or at least change your relationship with your entire built environment. #UX #UXDesign

@Montag Well, I'm not #UX expert, but when you have to click/hover on icon to find out what it's doing, then the icon is not well chosen 😀


I can understand why it seems confusing. I guess someone would expect quote mark to quote comment text into reaction instead of sharing it.

Maybe someone here can find better icon for it for better #UX ?

Whenever I explain my #research at Google into mobile text editing, I'm usually met with blank stares or a slightly hostile "Everyone can edit text on their phones, right? What's the problem?"

Text editing on mobile isn't ok. It's actually much worse than you think, an invisible problem no one appreciates. I wrote this post so you can understand why it's so important.

Does it exist? An alternative user interface for #mastodon with a user experience similar to traditional social media (main stream containing only posts, answers displayed as threaded comments)?

Basically:
- I always miss messages (especially answers) with microblogging, and it does not highlight images enough
- The content is now on Mastodon, more generally on the #fediverse
- I don't see the point of having a project which re-implement ActivityPub when the only thing to change is the #UI #UX


I've been running user-testing on the process of signing-up onto the #Fediverse (including #Mastodon , #Pixelfed , and others).

My tests suggest a lot (probably most) people find it very difficult & confusing.

I think most people who try to sign-up — fail and give up.

Which means that if about 2,000 people are joining the Fediverse every hour, then — A LOT more than that tried to join, failed, and gave up.



The good news is — the sign-up user-experience ( #UX ) process can be improved.


I never did an #introduction and I keep hitting the character limit on my profile blurb, so:

I'm Michele Ann Jenkins aka Maj.
I was federated before it was cool and have just been biding my time on FB and Reddit until a critical mass happened somewhere better and now here we are!

I am equally interested in anachronisms, futurism, and current events. In all timelines, looking to listen & learn from a diversity of voice and lived experiences.

Ever evolving tag cloud because I keep being reminded of other interests:

/ #UX problem that’s obscured the issue of natural language based programming to date. Basically, you have a conversation oriented interface that supports voice or typing modalities for input capture.

If you haven’t seen it already, watch the following clip about an iOS shortcut for experiencing this power aptly dubbed “Siri Pro Mode” .

The #fediverse logo design challenge is still waiting for someone to collect the $1 million prize ;)

@pfefferle just pointed to a very nice old logo design.. the one of the Federated Social Web Summit:

https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fediverse-logo-or-icon-proposal/1057/11

Maybe and brightness of current #logo can be combined with the more organic #design of this logo?

Fedi is grassroots and organic, after all, right? But also more vibrant and diverse, than a growing 'spore' that the matte green conveys.

I'm about to leave Mastodon for a few months. Not because I had a bad time, or couldn't find interesting people, or don't think the concept of a fediverse is dumb. On the contrary, I think it's great.

I just have other stuff to do. But before I go, I want to share some thoughts as an ex-Twitter designer and someone who's been on Mastodon since 2018.

#UX question of the day, how to you make a user enter a *duration*? Especially, I have time fields close to it, and I really don't want users to confuse them.
