New feature added to the engine's GUI submodule: resizable Windows.
This will be included in v0.11.0-beta, alongside with MIDI control value filtering, individual master levels to each channels of the audio modules for easy volume settings without M2 scripts, and maybe even a better file dialog (any #uxdesign -er willing to help out with that?)...

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
Does anyone have a good working definition of what an "intuitive interaction" a means? Not academically as such, think something usable as design principles.
I currently working with:
"An interaction is intuitive when it is learned and understood through the act of doing it once"
The key for me (I think) is in the "act of doing it" bit. Learned by doing and simple enough that's it's understood as you do it.
For design inspiration, I'm trying to gather a list of desktop apps that are fun/enjoyable and don't have a corporate/enterprise feel to them.
Not games or streaming apps though. It feels like desktop app design hasn't kept pace with modern web app design but maybe my searches aren't using the right terms.
I realize this is subjective, but I'd still like more examples. 😁 Thx!
An AI function I would use:
During video calls, generate video of my face that always looks at the camera – not slightly down at my laptop keyboard, or sideways at the cat – in the interest of better interpersonal communication through eye contact.
Understanding and implementing the Web Accessibility Content Guidelines (WCAG) can be difficult for even trained experts. Catherine helps us with WCAG 2.2′s newest guideline by explaining the requirements and providing examples of how to improve our user interfaces.

Hallo zusammen!
Ich brauche mal euren Rat und vllt auch eure Connections: Zurzeit arbeite ich in in der QA und bin zusätzlich im Design-Team aktiv, möchte aber nun voll in die UX einsteigen.
Ein wenig zu mir: In meinem Medieninformatik-Studium habe ich meine Thesis über das spannende Thema Dark Patterns geschrieben und eine Zertifizierung als UX-Designerin abgeschlossen.
Kennt ihr offene Stellen in #Köln oder habt Tipps für den Wechsel? Wäre super dankbar für jede Hilfe!
App developers: if you use notifications very sparingly, for things that I actually care about, I'll leave them turned on and even appreciate them.
But if you abuse notifications and hit me with too many, I'll block notifications from your app. Globally. All of them. And then I'll forget about it, and never revisit that decision.
Once you hit that point, it's too late. You ain't coming back.
Think about it before you decide to do notifications.
I can't believe the Mastodon web interface still doesn't have a theme that auto-adjusts to the system's light/dark mode preferences. It just has "Light", "Dark", and "High Contrast", none of which GAF about the system settings.
So when, to take an example that I'm currently experiencing, I go from being outside in a park to a dark bar and flip my system theme from light to dark, I then also have to adjust Masto independently. Unlike everything else. It's #BadUX, TBH.
In any organization, many people share what they’d like to see as the intentions of the design.
As these people use their influence to define the outcome of the design, they are, in effect, designing. There’s an old saying, everyone thinks they are a designer. Well, everyone who participates in the rendering of their intention is a designer, using this definition.
Trying to improve the wrong dimension of #UX will only lead to waste. Learn the difference:
Wonky products are confusing; their mental model doesn't match the user's. Janky products are conceptually fine, but buggy or inconsistent.
Jank manifests only at the hi-fi stage of development, and can be solved by UI redesign or backend optimization. However, wonk must be caught at the conceptual stage with lo-fi tools. You will NOT be able to fix it on the #UI layer.

I can help with UX + UI design, research, or Webflow development. I'm available to start next week - just pop me a message saying what you're after 😊
Color accessibility is more than just ticking boxes. Even with good contrast, some color palettes can make interfaces challenging for users. Here are some practical guidelines to ensure more inclusive design for colorblind people.
It's sometimes good to remember that many people have been debunking several
of Nielsen's assertions about usability for more than two decades. Not least the one about only needing to test with five users.
Here's a good study from 2001 (yes, 23 years ago) about page load times. By Christine Perfetti and Lori Landesman.
Remember when Amazon took 36 seconds to load over a 56kbps modem?
I really want accent colors to ship in GNOME, and we’re approaching the beginning of the GNOME 47 cycle, so… what’s blocking it? The short answer: design consensus.
The longer answer: there are outstanding—but imho not insurmountable—concerns and a lot of design work to do around it. 🧵
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.
For US users, at least, when exporting all of a LinkedIn account's data, if a user selects "Download Larger Archive" to get the full archive, when they click to request the archive, the UI just switches their selection to "Select the data files you're most interested in" instead, then selects ALL THE OPTIONS, and finally disables the form and submits the request. I guess the BE developers were busy that sprint.
