Here’s a new, super-interactive essay I wrote about making interactions really great for repeated use, motor memory, and so on.

I wanted to share things I learned as a designer throughout the years, and highlight some of the nuances and great anonymous work but others, but do it in a hopefully interesting way.

Also, I just… love this kind of stuff? I don’t know. My hope is that you’ll fall in love with this, too.

FYI, I'm on a large screen (10 inch tablet with keyboard and Firefox in desktop mode), and it still only pops up a message that I should use a computer or large tablet.

Perhaps add a toggle to force enabling the playgrounds, for cases like this?

@jannem You can force with https://aresluna.org/show-your-hands-honor/?force-interactive-playgrounds, but the warning is set up to trigger if the resolution is too small, so it might not work very well if you override it.

I've got 11 inch at 2560x1600 - is that too small? If it is, my laptop won't be able to run it either...

@jannem No, the minimum is only 1024px. I assume yours would be 1280px in retina px, so I wonder why it’s showing the warning. Can you override and send me a screenshot? Also, would you mind telling me more about your tablet and your Firefox version? 🙏

Samsung S11, up to date Android Firefox.

Now i suspect there is some weirdness with using Firefox specifically . When I override and get to the first playground it shows it briefly, then reloads the entire page without the override.

Don't sweat it - Android tablet with Firefox is a rare corner case. I'll look at it on my laptop some other day.

@jannem Yeah, that’s not right. Thanks! Let me know if it feels ok on a laptop.
