It’s safer to assume every row in a data list or table would link to a detail view. Otherwise, cramming everything into the list/table can eventually bite you in the ass. This is especially true in anti-agile settings where sunk cost thinking takes over. #ux

Wer den elend winzigen und nicht benutzerfreundlichen horizontalen Scrollbalken in der Deck-Ansicht von #Mastodon auf dem Desktop höher haben möchte, nutzt in Webkit-basierten Browsern folgendes User-#CSS:

.custom-scrollbars ::-webkit-scrollbar {
height: 15px !important;

Neobrutalism is a new UI design style that's been emerging on the web over the last couple of years.

Having seen good and bad examples of this, I'm glad the fabulous folks at NN/g are sharing some best practices around how to use it.

@Gargron @rvcx Not by you, to my knowledge. Generally, the sentiment of replies from folks here when I mention the need for it to be easy for non-techies to join, is a reaction of fear. Like it’s best as exclusive club.

That, and a few other UX barriers to “normie” usage (e.g. easy cross-server interactions & global-ish search) still make it a hard sell to friends. #UX was mentioned as a big barrier in a “Fedi House” event at SXSW.

What is dead is empathy. And you cannot have a design team culture focused on the success of the customer accomplishing tasks if empathy is dead.

I love (read: hate) how designers are always going on about #UX and big-D #Design and the UX field and the UX career path yadda-yadda while rarely if ever talking about, or one supposes thinking about, the plight of the customer. Remember the customer?

Design is far from dead. It's just pivoted to Customer Avoidance.

And paying a bill? You know your #UI / #UX is bad if you have to try to tell people what to do, because they're gonna do the wrong thing quite often. If you have to say "Press TAB" in your instructions, you have already lost.

Nevermind that no normal human ever says the phrase "is populated" to mean they filled something in or entered their information.
