I just published a video of the new "end to end encryption" protocol for ActivityPub in #Emissary. The UX is rougher than I'd like, but you can see the client app is coming along nicely.
Today, it sends and receives messages using MLS, a widely used industry standard and successor to the Signal protocol.
By June 2026, it should be ready for you.
For more details on the project and my progress, see: https://emissary.dev/e2ee

For some years now the UI design and interaction methods shown in sci-fi movies have become ever more abstract & complex, driven by minimalist aesthetics utilizing high-res graphics, a design philosophy based on total omniscient access, heavy information density and interactive realtime visualizations (and/or visual ways of browsing) to aid exploration & expose patterns/relationships, the use of layered/spatial layouts, capable of customization/personalization, programmability (of sorts), shared state with contextually morphing representations and relying on gestural/voice controls, all designed to empower people in changing (often urgent) situations and enabling them to manage/filter a large information space.
Whilst a lot of these fantasy UIs are also just that: eye candy, clichéd kitsch and completely nonsensical graphic design wanks, in the real world instead, mainstream UI/UX design has largely moved towards becoming a bastion of boring blandness, caused by a frequently encountered design attitude which outright patronizes potential users and rejects their agency by considering everyone to be part of an homogeneous group and designers only ever wanting to cater for the lowest most "simple" (but actually simplistic!) approach. Design by template (and I don't just mean the graphic parts). This is amplified by lack of user interaction research & testing, but also by designing for the lowest common denominators of mobile OS platforms, by the guidelines imposed by app store approval processes etc.
The same patterns are everywhere, from smart watches, to ovens, cars, even in a lot of games, but especially bad on mobile. Entire generations of _people_ (not "users"!) are being conditioned to interact with machines and information systems in the form of endless self-similar sequences of deeply nested menus, popovers/modals, lists & grids and a handful of standard widgets (mostly buttons of some sort) via which every single task, large or small has to be solved. Scrolling everywhere, and maximizing whitespace of course, because what else are all these modern high res screens really for? We expect so little by now, no wonder people are considering LLMs a magic breakthrough! Meanwhile, basic text editing on a phone is still unfathomably bad and a constant, impossibly fiddly source of frustration... A general lack of undo/redo too (not just mobile, also most web apps).
We have the most capable of machines ever, incl. sensors which could be used to augment mobile interactions for so many people. Yet for many in the current breed of "professionals" in UI/UX, the design space and horizon of imagination what's possible and/or acceptable has shrunk down to the size of a shoe box and it's being defended and post-rationalized for the most inane of reasons... Liquid Glass™ on one hand, "LLM-ing all the things" on the other, relying on planet-scale infrastructure to pull off some form of glossy "intelligent assistant/slave" is NOT a scalable or even desirable solution! These are the wet dreams of aesthetes, graphic & product designers who never seem to use their own creations even just once (else they would very quickly realize the error of their ways...)
It just doesn't have to be like that! It also wasn't always like that... As with politics, we've allowed the bad-faith and/or lazy players to take over and let them dictate their overly simplistic (and frequently inconsiderate, if not abusive) world view on everyone and everything...

Weekend thought: Low Code is not "No Skill."
It requires:
- Database Design skills
- UX skills
- Logic/Process mapping skills It just removes the syntax errors. Respect the craft. -

I see people asking "I have #UI skills, how do I get better at #UXDesign?" My answer is: learn #ContentDesign.
You can't hide behind whizbang styling when your medium is text. It becomes obvious that the copy is the tip of the iceberg. The rest of the work is in the information architecture that lies beneath. You stop thinking in screens, and start thinking in systems.
UI/copy is just a touchpoint of the system. You still have to design the system underneath and between the touchpoints.

@vmbrasseur they do have a history of pushing tidy-up releases, but it’s unlikely they’ll offer a “revert to previous UI” toggle or any other way to significantly customise the #UI / #UX
#Apple is nothing if not obnoxiously opinionated about their design choices & for a long time (since forever? 🤔 it’s been ages since I’ve played with Macintosh-era gear) have been of the “we know best & you should learn to embrace our choices” school of user choice 🤪
it feels increasingly like being a (US) soldier who’s told to just “#EmbraceTheSuck” 😕

Designers are always inventing new titles. Web designer, UI designer, UX designer, UX/UI designer, Product designer, UX/AI designer (???)
These are all the same!
As long as your work is mediated entirely by Figma and Jira, you are just a production artist.
Fighting with PMs over who "gets" to do strategy (usually: neither of you) won't help you. Lean into the core #design skills of architecture and maintenance. #UX #servicedesign #contentdesign #uxdesign #tech

Holy shit! Just wound back to the start of the show because #FuckTheNews and have been reminded that Sandy Shaw did an absolutely magnificent cover of Sympathy for the Devil.

If you prefer a smoother experience, I highly recommend Celluloid 👉 https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.celluloid_player.CelluloidIt’s a frontend for mpv, giving you the speed and flexibility of mpv with a clean, modern UI.
In my experience, it just gets video player UX right 👌🏻 -
My online #banking is sooo stupid. About 6 months ago they revamped it. This meant they re-set the marker on which statements you had and hadn't seen yet, so suddenly I have 150+ unread documents.
Is there any way to mark a document as 'read', individually or en-mass? No.
What's the only way to mark a documents as read?
Yes, click on it, to download it. So I've just downloaded over a hundred documents, which I will instantly delete (because I already have them), as that's the only way to know in the future if I have an real new and unread documents.

Congratulations! You've just discovered that text files can be interfaces! 🎉 #YAML is the new UI/UX darling, because who needs buttons when you have indentations? 🙄 Next up, ASCII art replaces #PowerPoint. 📈

@chrisgrande @marioguzman And yet another sign that something is fundamentally broken at Apple.
At the very least, I’d expect their #IxD patterns to be consistent across applications. The fact that they are not, and that the differences are so significant, shows they just don't care about Good Design™ anymore.
It's such a shame, since their own HIG from 1992 — about System 7! — is a #UX design text book in its own right. It's stellar!
In contrast, today's HIG don't even deserve that name.

I've always meant to post this and it just keeps slipping my mind, because it's such a minor thing. But it is hugely annoying (Hey, #Mastodon folk, something easy to fix!).
If you open someone's profile because you want to see things they've posted, you'll think you're in luck, because it opens on the "Posts" category.
But you're not getting what you think you're getting. If the person is anything like me, they boost a lot more things than they post - and boosts appear in this "Posts" category, too.
What you want is the next category over, "Posts and replies". That will be only things they've posted, either as standalone posts or in response to others' posts.
So for posts, go to "Posts and Replies", not "Posts". And if that makes sense to you, I'm not sure we can be friends anymore 😉

I don't like how Mastodon forces the "Butterfly" icon for a profile metadata entry with the name "Bluesky" and then forcibly renders that metadata at the bottom of the profile page, ignoring the entered order. The resulting profile page looks ugly when the profile data also has non-links or just web links. 😠
I fixed this issue by pasting the "empty character" at the end of metadata name "Bluesky". The fix probably breaks agents that look for the name "Bluesky" and I don't really care. 🤷♂️

Here's why you MUST rely on your own user data to set #pagespeed and #ux goals. Google's LCP threshold is 2.5s. Yet for this site, conversion rate peaks at 6% at 1.1s. By 2.5s, this site is on the #webperf plateau and the conversion rate has dipped way down to just 2.5%.
In other words, aiming for Google's 2.5s threshold would NOT help this site improve their business. The real goal is 1.1s.
