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
@jezlyn I was wondering myself if there’s a way to turn off the screensaver. It just seems like a strange decision, surely an idle state should be handled by the system or TV, not by the app? Maybe they got tired of people complaining about their place being reset since their resume implementation sucks so much
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
@smallcircles Have a look at the big desktop environments and pick which one you think is slick (it is such a personal choice), look at their list of distributions that they recommend/ensure this desktop environment is up to date and support offered at the top level for any distribution you choose. Most big distros have a reasonable level of support for the biggest desktop environments, but it is not universal and you may want a less popular one.
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.
@mikemccaffrey I recall my dad figuring out the whole thing at the time when he picked up my iPod. I figured it must have been good design if he didn't need specific instructions
