Correction: 49 years of thinking different and 1 year of sucking up to the oligarchy. 🫣

Updated my workshop Mac mini to #Tahoe and wow. Either I’m getting old or this is really bad UI design. (…or both 😁) I’m not talking about the weird alignment of elements and rounded corners that are all over the place, although that’s surprising to see as well. More the hard to read text on semi-transparent, blurry elements that also lack contrast. This really trips me up as someone with regular migraines with auras. I constantly feel like a migraine is about to start … 😕

I barely recognise the company I used to have such admiration for.

Can anyone recommend Mastodon native apps that are European built?
I honestly thought the checkbox button was missing in this macOS Tahoe screenshot:

Excited to share the publication of our new layout guide for our Design System:
https://eds.springernature.com/foundations/springernature/layout/

A long process of many reviews, edits and rounds of feedback. It’s not easy to compile design knowledge and technical expertise into a succinct format that anyone on a tech team can understand.

This guide is only possible thanks to the support of my amazing team but I must also give thanks to @heydon for inspiring us with Every Layout during his time with us!

Interfaces are for people. The fewer people can use an interface, *the less it is an interface*. There is no more important measure of interface quality than accessibility. https://front-end.social/@heydon/114754750942586329

I don't work in accessibility. I work in quality. Accessibility happens to be where your quality is getting let down.
