@design_law It depends. Customarily, a breadcrumb is a navigation feature that helps the user see what path they've navigated through. E.g., like "home>topic 1>subtopic 3" A generous read could be that this design specifies the containers for specific information, like maybe there will be icons in the circles showing last and next location. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
@design_law in that diagram - without additional context of 'navigation' e.g. directional arrows of labelling of the path, I wouldn't consider that on it's own to be a 'bread crumb'
I've been using :AntennaPod: @AntennaPod for some years now and It's truly a legend in podcast world, but it suffers from one single and very tiny UI design flaw (which is understandable in such FLOSS and volunteer-based projects): some buttons are virtually hidden unless you know where to look for them.
One of the features that many podcast apps have is the ability to archive podcasts (i.e out of sight, out of mind, but keep my stats and progress).
The first one is easy, the 3rd one I found it in the podcast setting, but the 2nd one was a pain to find. I even used the search box in the settings and didn't find it.

@WebAxe Weird that in the section about contrast ratios, they don't mention that the calculated ratio is incorrect for colourblind people.
Red (#ff0000) on black (#000000) will have a WCAG contrast ratio of 5.25, but I'll see the red as something more like #271d00, which has a very poor WCAG ratio of 1.26.
Since the latest "update," when I type in Excel, the new entry shows up in 11-point Calibri until I hit enter or tab (at which point it turns into the proper size and typeface).
It's ugly and annoying.
Is this a ham-handed way to push us all to use Calibri? An oversight? Surely, no one thought this would be something users would like, right?
@design_law Also, in the updated Word, highlighting text for cut/paste changed, it seems. It feels more cumbersome than in the past when I could just hold down the left button of your mouse and drag. This no longer works. Or, am I just confusing Word with how highlighting text in Apple Pages works?
@zeldman It seems like the thinking in Mac OS 8 was “well, it’s going to be a few years before we ship anything useful with the company we just bought and its operating system, so as a stopgap, let’s just make our scrollbars look like theirs.”
I'm experimenting on displaying media on Mastodon posts. Very long mobile posts or images with aspect-ratio of 2:3 that have more height than width are usually difficult to perceive on a busy feed. This change would make those long posts smaller while retaining the 1:1 or 16:9 posts as they are.
@panda Reasonably sized photos still show up like they used to. Only tall photos are rendered the way they fit better. One offs really look like they are meant to be that way.
Here’s an interactive playground I made to experiment with a variety of color picker UIs and algorithms.
My design goal: a compact, intuitive set of color swatches covering the full range of possible colors. Some innovations: serpentine hue layouts, and optical intervals that emphasize useful hues.
I used this sandbox to design the new “hue-tone” picker for the upcoming V3.0 of my Mind Magnets list-making app for iPhone/iPad. #MindMagnets#ColorTheory#UIdesign
A rectangular layout is great for limited UI space, but here’s a “quantized” variation on a traditional triangular HSV color picker. The hue hexagon makes primaries and secondaries easy to find. #ColorTheory#UIDesign
