UI Design

I still think the swipe down from the right third to get to control center and swipe down from the remaining ⅔ to get to notifications is a terrible UX on iOS. There is no/little affordance to their behavior.

Similarly, I cannot tell you what tapping the digital crown, side button, and swiping up and down does on the Apple Watch Ultra. I just cycle thru all of them until I get the screen I’m looking for.

@Jeremiah Agree about watchOS! 💯

However, on iOS I find it quite clear:

At the top right are your control icons (cellular, WiFi, battery), so swiping from there opens the control center.

At the top left is the time, so swiping from there opens your notification timeline.

Maybe they could reinforce this by disabling the swipe from the middle (or apply it to the Dynamic Island instead)?

@jhogervorst I agree the control icons are a minimal affordance on iOS. Unlike WatchOS, I remember which place to swipe, but I often unintentionally swipe too far left when I want the control center. Big hand problems, I guess, but I think there should only be one swipe-from-edge gesture for any particular edge.

Do you need some UI sounds, you can use for prototyping and non-commercial projects?

In MacOS, I often take a screenshot, right-click on the thumbnail that pops up, then select "Save to Clipboard." I've been doing this for years but still have to parse the words carefully. Why oh why doesn't it just say "Copy"? So much easier at least for my brain to grok.

@stshank that should have been Paste with Formatting 🤷

@stshank huh, this was threaded weirdly in my mentions. Thought to was in reply to my bitching about pasting

Second blog post on the #moxxy UI! Unfortunately I've had a very busy month and don't have much new to report. Hopefully I'll have more time in May to work on new screens. #xmpp #penpot #ui

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 , a visualizer by the company. The does not switch to dark mode easily: it takes a lot of tinkering to get it to look good. As far as goes, Qlik can improve their application a lot.

I just realized that this visualization won’t be insightful for most colorblind people. I’ll have to add symbolic markers.

I use the timer on my Apple Watch a lot. I find it frustrating that instead of pressing on the big “done” in the middle of the screen to stop the timer after going off, I have to target the small x button in the lower left corner, which because it is very near the rounded edges of the Watch’s screen, is even harder to target. 😒 (I just now saw the Done label isn’t even centered in the circle :smh:)

Hello, #UI #UX people!

We're discussing internally where I work where we are unfamiliar with all the UI/UX design patterns and tricks if we should be hiding or disabling buttons when someone is not authorised to do something.

Would appreciate any advice or even opinions on this 😅

@kaplag Thanks! Really nice article and it makes sense 👍

I am plagued lately by websites that do weird #UI things & just lose all my typed comment.

Facebook's mobile website does it if I minimize my phone's keyboard.

#WordPress .com just did it when I typed a long meticulous comment & entered my name & email which it recognized as belonging to an account so it prompted me to log in. After I did so, I was returned to the blog post.... my comment vanished into the ether.

I just. It's so demoralizing.

@otto42 That's definitely not it. It's on a vanilla Chrome on a mobile phone, no extensions. This is a UI development problem.

@otto42 Facebook has also, egregiously made their mobile website buggy, awkward & limited on purpose to push users to the mobile app. 👎

This is a well-documented dark-pattern in web development.

We've long admired the Open Tree of Life (https://tree.opentreeoflife.org). Curatorial #UI, #UX ideas there are spiritual precursor to new work we're doing.

The concept is: filter a set of records, choose attributes of that set and display those columns.

Then the first step is to edit any value in place. But it gets more fun, with a regular expression in the middle of two attributes we can match and transform values between two columns, one at a time, or in batch. #dataquality here we come!

I can't believe the Mastodon web interface still doesn't have a theme that auto-adjusts to the system's light/dark mode preferences. It just has "Light", "Dark", and "High Contrast", none of which GAF about the system settings.

So when, to take an example that I'm currently experiencing, I go from being outside in a park to a dark bar and flip my system theme from light to dark, I then also have to adjust Masto independently. Unlike everything else. It's #BadUX, TBH.
