Question for the web design people in the fedi: Is anything shown in (the solid lines in) this drawing something you'd refer to as a "breadcrumb"?

If your website requires me to tilt my phone by 90 degrees and work with a gimmicky non-responsive interactive picture, you deserve jail.

"Turn your screen" bish how about you make a better website

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).

Today I began building a native icon manager app for Linux.
On MacOS, I relied on IconJar to select icon sets that fitted different visual styles. It also gave me lightning-fast access to glyphs I would use over and over again, like arrows and chevrons.
While we have Norde Source for Linux, sadly:

New post: Please stop using flags to represent languages

https://chrissmith.xyz/blog/2024/please-stop-using-flags-to-represent-languages/

As someone with a background in languages and, more simply, as someone with some common sense, this has been a pet hate of mine since I first saw it in the late 90s.

@inkscape has quickly become one of my favourite design tools. The "Power stroke" live path effect allows you to turn a simple curvy stroke into a dynamic, sweeping form.

  1. Draw a curvy line using the pencil or the pen tool
  2. Open the "Path effects" panel
  3. Search for the path effect "Power stroke"
  4. Using the Node Tool (A), drag the purple handles to adjust the tapering

Video walking through the steps written to use the "Power stroke" live path effect in Inkscape. At the end of the walkthrough, I scroll through several example of swooping black lines with varying stroke thicknesses. No audio.

I wish I understood why people use the dark themes on their OSes, apps, and websites. I truly don't get it because my eyes can't process information as fast as they can on a white background with black letters. I don't consider the dark themes to be the natural default for human eyes. Maybe for owls...

User experience mini-rant:

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?

Has anyone here used Figma? What to do when there is no Add Flow Starting Point? Currently I can only have one flow and need multiple.
