@ruario oh thank you, how kind. Now I have 100+ command lines to remember :D

A hero we need. A hero we don't deserve. Or something like that. Anyway:

@raktheundead @mhoye Complex workflows belong on desktops or pen-based tablets, no argument. But the iPhone wasn’t trying to beat those; it perfected the one-handed, thumb-first experience.

That’s why it won. Everything else was trying to be a tiny desktop. Remember Windows CE phones and those old iPaqs with the stylus interface? That experiment was a disaster.

@h3artbl33d Experimenting to kind of organize them.

@slashdot Never forget Deutche Telekom sued a guy because he was using their ... wait for it ... color 😂

Article: Can a corporation "own" a color?

In the letter, Deutsche Telekom AG (the parent company of T-Mobile) accused Schreiber’s small insurance startup, Lemonade, of trademark infringement. Schreiber was confused: He hadn’t used T-Mobile’s name. He hadn’t appropriated the company’s logo or tagline. Hell, he wasn’t even in the cell phone business.
But as he read on, he realized his “crime” was using the color magenta.

Can a corporation "own" a color?

A handful of companies have pushed the boundaries of intellectual property law by laying claim to individual colors.

@joe Exactly. Skeuomorphic design helped a lot at time. Today it looks a bit funny, but it was a good thing then.

@thepi @mhoye Whatever confused you on the first use, it was later followed by absolutely all mobile phone manufacturers.

Not only UI, the whole approach to phone as a product and how to be manufactured changed. Nokia in one moment had 100+ active models for sale. 100+!!

@mhoye

, the iPhone was never "easy to use" or "intuitive"

Oh yes it was. Early iPhone UIs were a mile ahead of competition existing at the time.

All mobile phone UIs started following paradigms introduced by iPhone in the most shameless ways.
