@grunge_fox @julia wait why did it take us a year to look at your pronouns page and realize you have a name instead of thinking you just are an unidentified foxxo (also cool) ​​

@natty @[email protected] Did you thought my real name is Grunge and last name Fox? lol ​​

But also ​​

@julia I've spent like a year or more now yelling about how subtle is the opposite of the goal in UI design and it doesn't seem to make much difference.
Show threadBryan RedeagleApr 18, 2024
@alilly @julia Nobody understands UI design, or even user experience. They want to make it an art piece and when it's a utility.
Show threadAthena L.M.Apr 18, 2024
@bryan @julia I have also said at one point that software should never be an experience, because if you are experiencing the software instead of the task that means the software is getting in the way or distracting you or both. The ideal user experience, IMO, is one where the software disappears entirely.

@alilly @bryan @julia A good point, but there are times when using a finely crafted tool can make a task more pleasant. I suppose “finely crafted” and “software” may not have much overlap though. 🙂
