Hello Fediverse! I’m interested in ebooks, WordPress, and web content design. UX research newbie. For fun, I knit things or go out sketching.

Is it time to drop the term "user" in UX/UI?
https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/04/19/1090872/ai-users-people-terms/

I like "visitor" for websites I manage. What do you use?

I'm looking to catalog my artwork. Does anyone have a system they like using?

Sometimes I think about how much media will be forever lost in decades to come because everything is now on streaming platforms that delete things on a whim instead of physical media.

@Gargron Me too! It's like we've gone back to the aural tradition but with way more environmental impact.

Welcome to the fediverse @SueNeu! I see in your profile you call yourself a "UX research newbie". Can you expand on that?

SueNeu,

@strypey sure! I’ve been doing front end dev and managing websites for years. When the pandemic hit, I had little to do, so I got a certificate in UX/UI. I am using those principles and techniques in my work.

@strypey tell me a bit about you— What kind of open source projects do you work on? What Sci Fi works do you like?

@strypey I got the certificate from Cornell University online. It was wonderful. More research focused than design focus. I learned a lot about interviewing and testing.

I now use Figma to mock up web page layouts, and track Google Analytics to gauge results. Microsoft has a free tool for seeing clicks and pagethrus. That data helps a lot when presenting my customers with design options.

@strypey I love Firefly! I just finished The Expanse, I watched the series and then listened to the audio books. My favorite Cory Doctorow is Walkaway. I haven’t read Magic Kingdom, I’ll add it to my TBR list.

@strypey yes, the school lowered the cost because of the pandemic, but I had to do the math and determine if I could recoup the expenses with a higher hourly rate.

"The softest, freest, most pliable and changeful living substance is the brain — the hardest and most iron-bound as well."
The Home, 1903

Charlotte Perkins Gilman died in 1935. She was an humanist, novelist, writer, lecturer, advocate for social reform, and eugenicist. She was a utopian feminist and served as a role model for future generations of feminists because of her unorthodox concepts and lifestyle. via @wikipedia

@gutenberg_org @wikipedia I’m completely taken in so far
““Personally, I believe that congenial work, with excitement and change, would do
me good.”
