  1. Архитектура продолжений: как в цифровой среде одни ходы становятся легче других

    Интерфейс можно описывать не только через доступные действия, но и через продолжения, которые он делает более лёгкими. В статье предлагается рамка “архитектуры продолжений”: как после действия один следующий ход становится естественным, а другие остаются возможными, но требуют отдельного усилия. Следующий ход

  2. Affordances are forgotten. Any control can look like any other control.

    1 — button
    2 — button
    3 — text input 🤯

    How are you supposed to tell?

    Thanks @ilyabirman for the picture.

  3. Visible controls? Only cowards need visible controls. Real guys just edit text in a vacuum

  4. ... executes it very well. It works for you, without trying to be clever or sophisticated. Also, it follows system conventions, which also helps you, the user.

    I’m not sure whom the bottom interface helps. It’s a puzzle, an art object, but it doesn’t work for you. It’s not here to make your life easier.

  5. What kind of control is this? Radio group? Buttons? Links?

    Minimalism went too far.

  6. Do you think, too, that disclosure widgets (`details` element) need stronger signaling they’re clickable?

    Adding `summary { cursor: pointer; }` already makes for better affordance, but I wonder, would there be interest (and what’s the path) to include this in user agent styles?

  8. Dude, a switch makes for a terrible dropdown control

    Thanks @HID_DEVICE for the video

  9. Profile is a link. Wolt+ is a submenu. Language is a dropdown menu. Contact Support is a link again. Log out is a button.

    Welcome to 2025, where nothing has affordances and everything can look like anything else.

    "With ALPS, you're not boxed into one way forward. You're offered a landscape of affordances..."

  11. I recently drove a car whose whole control and entertainment system was a gigantic iPad-like thing mounted to the dash. It caused me to have a realisation about the #Ui and #UX of touch screens.

    There is no way to touch a touchscreen without it treating that touch as intentional. What I mean is: without taking my eyes off the road, I can grope across the dashboard, find a knob or button—by touching it—without activating any function. Touching the volume button or temperature knob doesn’t DO anything until I do it with more force and intentionality. Not so for a #touchscreen.

    My mobile #phone (an #iPhone 13) has no dead space in its face. There’s no part of the phone face I can touch without it assuming I meant to do that and I wanted to activate whatever was under my finger. Old iPhones that had physical home buttons also had dead space to either side: a safe space to hold the phone without DOING anything.

    Computer keyboard have little raised pips on the F and J keys so you can find them by touch without looking. I do this all the time. But I don’t type the letters F or J. Touch screens have no such affordances.

    I look at the #blackberry keyboard in this photo and I see a raised space bar. It’s an #affordance that lets you orient your fingers, and orient how you hold the phone, without looking.

    I miss buttons.

  13. Uusin, upea niin & näin -numero on lehtipisteissä ja verkossa! Nettijutuiksi päätyivät käännökseni James J. Gibsonin tarjoumien teoriasta ("Theory of Affordances" 1979) ja kommentaarini suomennoksesta. Toivotan siis lukuisia nautintoja viikonloppuunne: netn.fi/issue/niin-nain-3-24/

  14. Affordances explained

    "The main purpose of my analysis is to give affordances a theoretical identity enriched by Gibson’s visionary insight, but independent of the most controversial claims of the Gibsonian movement. " -- #AndreaScarantino

  15. Adopting emerging information technology: A new affordances process framework

    "[W]e propose a framework that combines affordances theory and the resource orchestration process to explain the steps that organizations take to actualize the affordances of emerging IT." -- #LuisaMarieleStrauss #AmarolindaZanelaKlein #EusebioScornavacca

  16. A wild soap dispenser has appeared! You’ve never seen this model before. What do the design affordances tell you? Poll below ⬇️ #ux #uxdesign #design #affordance #usability

    Please boost for reach!

  17. The size of this button is either about accessibility, or someone has leaned in to ridiculous. Let's hope it's the former, because that would be progress.

    Its appearance is so unusual, it may not be immediately recognisable as a button.

    And, at the risk of sounding flippant, … it's ugly.
