#userinterface

Something I really hate about the UI on my phone, most of the setting shortcuts are toggle something on/off. Not so the notifications mode icon, which toggles from Noise to Vibrate to MUTE and /then/ back to noise.

This has caught me out repeatedly and added a not insignificant amount of stress to not only my life but people trying to get hold of me.

Okay which idiot at Microsoft thought it's a good idea, to show me the game card, if I klick on the game in my Dashboard, I want to play, that is already installed on my Xbox and how do I deactivate that shit?!

I want to play and not study the statistics of the game or get information and adds for that game!

Edit found it.
Press the Xbox button logo, overlay menu pops up. Go right to your profile picture.

Move down to settings.
Go to general followed by personalization.
Guides & apps.

On the right side choose from which sources game hub will open automatically.

If you deactivate all the marks it won't open automatically.

The whole point of this shit update seem to be to drive sales because you can see on one look if you have the DLCs and everything other shit. How long you have played ball bla bla.
Next step will probably be full advertisement before playing.

Just imagine if all the light switches, sockets, door handles, drawer handles, doors or kitchen and cupboard fronts in your house or flat were made of this ‘Liquid Glass’. Not only would that look stupid, it would also be a complete UX disaster!

So why should it be any different in the user interface of an operating system? How can a designer who takes functionality and user experience seriously believe that this would be a good idea?

ap-components

I want to share some information about a repository we just published. ap-components is a set of Web Components for building interfaces for the ActivityPub API. I built it as I was making a sample application for handling the acct: URI scheme. I found myself making more and more components for the UI, and realised that they would probably be useful for other applications, too. The library is available on npm at @socialwebfoundation/ap-components. It currently covers some of the simplest […]

Ich kann noch nicht sagen, woran es genau liegt, aber auf #friendica gibt mir das User Interface soviel mehr Lust zur Interaktion als auf den anderen Plattformen. Es liegt vielleicht an der Übersichtlichkeit oder an der Art und Weise, wie Threads dargestellt werden (und das liegt bei meiner Instanz ja eigentlich an dem Umstand, dass ein #hubzilla Theme verwendet werden kann). Es erstaunt mich jedenfalls immer wieder, weil ich es für mich selber so schwer erklären kann. Ich merke nur, dass ein UI für mich 90% einer Software ausmacht.

Another complete screw-up by EventBrite.

Last week I tried to reserve a ticket at an event and the "Reserve a place" button never showed up in either Firefox or Chrome on Linux.

It did in Chrome on Android on my phone.

Now I've tried to reserve a ticket for another event run by another organisation and I've had exactly the same symptoms.

EventBrite has one reason to exist, and they are complete screw-ups.

If you want reliable ticket and event management ...

Don't use EventBrite.

If you don't care about your users ... fine, do what you want.

@mike Who set up that webpage? It is not readable to me: light-grey font on white background. Why do think some designer/people that text has to be fashionable of the cost of readibility? Thanks, that I can read it in Reader Mode.
PS Since some years I notice that bad idea being "en vogue". (Even horrible: white font on black background.)
