I just opened a great role in my team at @openproject: Senior UI/UX Designer. 🥳 #getfediHired
Anyone looking for a full-time, remote* #design & #research role in #foss?
In case you would like to shape the future of OpenProject in a user-centric product team, please apply with your portfolio, CV and a cover letter. We want to hear from you and not your #genAI. Thanks! :)
*In a location within 2 hours (time-zone) from Berlin.
OpenStreetMap/User Interface Design:
Um Kommentare auf der Karte anzeigen zu lassen - also Fehler, Korrekturen etc. -, drückt man die Sprechblase.
Um diese "Hinweise" wieder auszuschalten, drückt man das "Ebenen"-Symbol. Darauf klappt eine Übersicht der Kartenebenen auf, d.h. versch. Stile, wie OSM dargestellt werden kann. Ganz unten findet man dann mehrere Checkboxen. Eine davon heißt "Hinweise/Fehlermeldungen" und ist aktiviert. Den Haken muss man entfernen.
Total intuitiv.

English speakers of the fedi. In a software with the interface in English, Reading a menu with verbs such as Save, Open, Close, Edit, Format etc., do you read them as imperative (an order: "do this") or as an infinitive (the "base form" of the verb, like "to do this")?
Are you a native speaker or have English as a second language?

I just logged into yet another key online work tool that has completely redesigned their UI.
So it looks like rather than doing my deadline work, I'm going to be putting time into relearning a tool I've used for years by muscle memory from scratch.

It's really something that my e-reader has better and more usable scrollbars than most desktop interfaces (Windows, MacOS, and Gnome). :/
The scrollbar is thin, but the grabbable region is large (kind of like the default in KDE), and easy to manipulate directly with your finger. This is actually better than #iOS' implementation, and many #Android apps.
Ugh, LinkedIn is the worst!
I try to disable all the notifications that aren't directly relevant to me, but they keep inventing new kinds of notifications that I have to opt out of! So annoying.
Trying to do that this morning, I see they have "simplified and regrouped" their notification settings, which is hilarious, because they're showing me a list of 14 top-level notification categories, each with its own tree of sub-categories beneath it. There must be a few dozen different categories of notification, each with multiple options within.
I think I found the one I needed to turn off? I have no idea. This is actively hostile UX.
#UserInterface Design was *completed* (as a "techné") circa 2009, and has devolved ever since. It's true, just accept it. #UIDesign #UI — #microblogging #MicroToot: 138 characters
Have you ever read a sign but feel the designers missed out a large part of the story?
Let's play a game of who can spot the shitty UI data inconsistency of the billion dollar software company.
@0xabad1dea what is
- a user interface that is Normal
???
For anyone reasonable, there's @zulip, @RocketChat and #IRC + #Mumble & #JitsiMeet already...
@ficklefutures scrape the "#Ai" #bullshit and just get yourself some decent #FrontendDevs:
Good #FrontendDevelopers know how to make proper #UI & #UX and actually care about #accessibility and #UserFriendlyness.
@yakkoj it's still a massive #downgrade as "#LiquidGlass" is a worse knockoff of #AeroGlass which used #Outlines and #contrast instead of merely giving the illusion a big drop of water landed on a touchscreen.
Does anyone know of a write-up of why there is no autocomplete for numbers? Like if I type 3035 why my phone doesn't suggest 2025, etc.? I can think of some reasons why this might not be a thing from way over here in my armchair, but I know very little about this, and am interested in thoughts or experiences of someone who knows more.
If you just know things about this, I would be interested in hearing it, too.
@snazzyq the #sarcasm is strong in this one.
Accessibility poll for people who use screen readers for daily use. I’m writing a guide about alt text.

I’d like your opinion about alt-text length for simple images. How long should it be? (Feel free to comment if you want to elaborate.)

UI/UX-Slop - Spotify versus NCspot
In diesem Artikel geht es um einen Vergleich der Extreme. Der Spotify-Electron-Client tritt gegen den Spotify-TUI-Client an. Es geht um das User Interface und die User Experience.

Y’all. I made this cute little animation to show that a link was successfully copied. I use it on my writing site.
It’s not monumental, but I really like it. My son said it feels “very satisfying.”

Just tried to read an Economist article. This was the "privacy" popup. After 30 seconds of staring I still had no fucking clue what "off" and "on" meant. I eventually forced myself to read carefully and realized I should press "on" (and had to think about which button position was "on").
Please give me a simple GDPR-style "accept/reject" button with some confidence in what the "reject" button means (via laws).
I don't need to read any article that much. Bye.

I see people asking "I have #UI skills, how do I get better at #UXDesign?" My answer is: learn #ContentDesign.
You can't hide behind whizbang styling when your medium is text. It becomes obvious that the copy is the tip of the iceberg. The rest of the work is in the information architecture that lies beneath. You stop thinking in screens, and start thinking in systems.
UI/copy is just a touchpoint of the system. You still have to design the system underneath and between the touchpoints.
Just how idiotic and user hostile is the #mautic #UX #UI?
To import the contacts CSV file, under the menu option, locate [action] button and use dropdown to choose import...
... no such option...
Problem is so common (apparently), that the "solution" is to append.. /contacts/import/new onto the URL of the contact page...
Long-overdue #question and request for #recommendations: What to use besides #GIMP? I don't hate it (I've become used to it) but I object to the name and it has annoyances galore. If I can use something better I will. I'd very much like it to be #FOSS.
My use case: mostly photo editing (though a lot of that has been replaced with Darktable), sometimes making memes or flyers, etc. Occasionally I draw or make something from scratch.
What else is there that does these things, and (very important) is better at them, hopefully with a more intuitive, useful interface?
GNOME has had that system for more than two decades or so IIRC {if I recall correctly} they're 27 ATM.
I had seen it in the first couple of years of GNOME spawn and development, when the programmers chose the route of less configuration & more dictation
#sh #GNOME #reg #editor #OpenSource #programming #Linux #UI #Xorg #POSIX
@Sascha Ich meine, konsistente #UI & #UX ist wichtig...
Jedenfalls deutlich besser und eine gute Alternative zu #Office365 für alle die #DSGVO & #BDSG einhalten wollen!
2am. Finished coding my designs. My brain is fried. And it feels good anyway.
Tomorrow I’ll wake up and forget I was even exhausted from coding and start all over again.
😴
Instagram moving icons around the UI feels like the designers were being micromanaged and needed to show they were working on SOMETHING.
So stupid.
