#30DayMapChallenge day 1 on dots
Interaction and design and interaction design is the answer to an overwhelming amount of dots on a map. Progressive disclosure is a key factor in UI design since the 1970s!

I’m working on my #blog (I forgot how much I enjoy just #hacking on my personal site) and trying to decide what good, human URLs should be these days? Fuck SEO and all that (though good urls are probably good SEO)

Currently I have:

- home `/`
- year list/archive `/<year>/`
- month list/archive `/<year>/<month>/`
- day list/archive `/<year>/<month>/<day>/`
- post permalink `/<year>/<month>/<day>/<slug>`
- tag archive `/tag/<tag>`

I'm considering adding:

- an undated permalink like `/posts/<slug>` - when to link to this? perhaps this version has less navigation, more of a focused view?
- an archive page at `/archive/` with maybe year and month links

Any thoughts, tips, recommendations, reading material?

Die VideoCam-Icons funktionieren nicht so optimal. Drum hier eine Verbesserung (?) zu orangenen Murmeln. Gefällt Euch das?

Insb. im grauen Dschungel der Großstadt, fallen die neuen Icons viel besser auf.

#UX #InformationArchitecture

Li há alguns dias a palestra que o arquiteto de informação Jesse James Garrett deu em um evento da área (em 2009, mas ainda válido).

Bons insights, não só sobre arquitetura da informação, mas sobre UX design também. Tipo:

- Não existem arquitetos de informação. Somos todos designers de UX.
- Só vamos ter nosso lugar à mesa quando nos tornarmos product managers ou SEOs.

Talvez nem todo mundo concorde, mas os pontos são válidos e acho que o objetivo dele é provocar.

Let’s shape the future of IA together.

#UX #InformationArchitecture

"Errors in content, especially technical documentation, lead to mistrust. When you write a piece of content, consider the future of the content.

The future of the content depends on the purpose and type of content that you’re writing. This list contains some common expectations that readers might have about various content types:

- A blog post has a date stamp and isn’t kept continually updated.

- Technical documentation always matches the product version that it references.

- Architecture documents reflect the current state of the microservice architecture.

- An email gets the point across and can’t be edited after you send it.

You must consider the future and maintenance of any content that you write if your readers expect it to be kept up-to-date. To figure out how difficult maintaining your content will be, you can ask yourself these questions:

- How frequently does the thing I’m writing about change?

- How reliable does my content need to be?

- How quickly does my content need to be accurate (e.g., after a product release)?

By answering these questions, you can then make decisions about how you write your content.

- What level of detail will you include in your content?

- Will you focus your efforts on accuracy, speed, or content coverage?

- Do you want to include high-fidelity screenshots, gifs, or complex diagrams?

- Do you want to automate any part of your content creation?

- Who will review your content? How quickly and thoroughly will they review it?"

How can I get better at writing?

As a professional writer, I frequently get asked, “as a ______, how can I get better at writing?” I’ve never had a good list of resources to point people to, so I finally decided to write one. I’ve worked hard to become a good writer, and I’ve had the privilege of many good teachers along the way. If you’re not really sure why your writing isn’t as good as you want it to be, that’s okay.
