Did you notice? We have almost 5.000 followers!
Now we're wondering: might we find among you (or your network) two experienced UX/UI designers who are willing to engage in a 6-month volunteer project? We need to come up with a way to fit a bunch of new functionality into the already busy player screen. We're looking for two people (one for each role) to help us with this.
Interested? More info? Send a DM or email keunes@mailbox.org.
Boosts appreciated! #UXdesign#UIdesign#OpenSource
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.

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...
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. #figma#uidesign#ui
Today, I heard that a client’s #uxdesign team has growing indicators that end users want less pages of minimal content and no scrolling (which leads to more clicks) and more single page, no click pages with lots of scrollable content. Has anyone heard similar inklings? Any UX/web designers seeing similar trends?
