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
I haven’t loved the vegan sushi in the Bay Area, but I’ve learned that’s not because it’s vegan but because it’s not fancy enough :) (I’m very spoiled and I only like fancy sushi)
@skinnylatte ¿"Your site title"? I'm guessing that's the fault of the user interface prefilling the site title field rather than making it an instruction outside the field.
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 #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.
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:)
Consider a "CPU" or "network activity" graph: I'd like one that has "one dot per second" on the right side and like "1 dot per minute" (or whatever) on the left side, but "rolled up" (i.e. min/max/mean of 60s or similar).
Perhaps could have multiple such segments (seconds, minutes, hours?) etc etc. #ui
For those interested in using reactive attributes in SVG elements using https://thi.ng/rdom, I hope you'll find this small new example and comments/explanations helpful:
Most of these tests to ensure someone is a #millennial seem like things that anyone can figure out, but I don't see any possible way for kids these days to understand the #iPod scroll wheel #interface without seeing someone else use it first.
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 😅
So, you want to build an app that has its data co-located with its UI? That works offline? That synchronizes between clients? And that lets its users own their data?
I think I'm going to have to rename the #Firefox containers, because I've caught myself a few times opening things that should have gone into a "New Private Window" into a "New Personal Tab", then going into settings to remove all the cached data and cookies the from the site I just opened.
Does anyone have any good resources for making a drag-and-drop list reordering interface accessible to non-mouse users? The lists can be nested.
Using a form seems clunky:
Place item at top level OR inside Item B
Place at start OR after Item C
Reveal up/down arrows to keyboard focus? How do I move items in and out of nested hierarchies? How to I keep the primary list interface from not getting cluttered?

Realmente però, da stamattina fino a oggi pomeriggio sono dovuta impazzire per far funzionare il menu delle opzioni su #SpiderADB come in figura… cioè esattamente come nella #UI di #Android, dove i tastini della barra del titolo vanno a collassarsi in un menu quando non c’è più spazio. Purtroppo la libreria che ho usato per questo stile non è per nulla funzionale di suo, quindi ho dovuto implementare io queste cose. 🥱A parte che non ho in teoria manco finito con quel menu, perché non si chiude ancora cliccando fuori su qualsiasi altra cosa che non sia il bottone di apertura (ma questa è una rogna sottile), ma poi ho dovuto spendere altro tempo per implementare quello che avrei già dovuto fare ma non potevo prima perché sarebbe mancato lo spazio per il bottone di attivazione della funzione, ossia effettivamente la disinstallazione dei pacchetti lì… Ovviamente sono sempre usciti fuori altri problemi strambissimi strada facendo, che sempre ho dovuto risolvere dolorosamente, ma alla fine ecco qua… 🙏
Volevo in realtà iniziare un altro #progetto stasera, probabilmente a lungo termine invece, ma ho giustamente deciso di finire prima ciò che avevo iniziato appena poco prima, per una buona volta, altrimenti sappiamo come va a finire. Quindi bene. Però, da domani, e adesso vi droppo una bomba, devo iniziare il mio sistema operativo #web. Sembra una pazzia, e lo è, ma voglio creare qualcosa che sia come quegli pseudo-OS HTML5 a scopi di portfolio, ma che sia per me anche un software di uso quotidiano, andando leggermente oltre le limitazioni di tutti quelli fatti solo come esercizio di stile… visto che non mi va bene nessun OS desktop o mobile, perché non farne uno io per entrambi, eh? 😇
Writing up some best-practice patterns for form controls, and I've assembled this list of native HTML controls that should never be used (because they're not universally supported, and/or their native UI has accessibility problems):
Yea I pretty much hate every date/calender input out there, and most of the color input tools too.
Interestingly, I think most color choosing tools and date choosing tools fail for the same reason: a “nearly infinite” set of possible choices.
Consider a date tool. Do you need to enter a date for next week for an appointment? Or a date/time in a month for a holiday trip, but you have to schedule around two other people.
Or, enter your birthday.
Or, find that event that was ten years ago, but it might have been 9 or 11 years, and you’re in California where we don’t have seasons so you can’t remember time of year…
That’s four different task requirements, and a simple all purpose tool is not an ideal solution.
But “simple all purpose” is what most UIs for date/time are.
