Results on my #survey about trackpad tap to click.
114 responded.
65% enable tap to click and love it!
29% disable tap to click.
6% had tap to click enabled and hate it!
So about two thirds prefer tap to click.
Personally I would argue that it should be off by default, but I belong to the last group. I was finding that I was having a lot of issues with my trackpad and most went away when I changed the setting. I still have an issue at times that clicking sometimes leads to right clicking.
I have been using trackpoints for years, so I guess I am rather used to an experience with clear button clicks.
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:/ )
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?
