#usercentereddesign — Public Fediverse posts

Das Gegenteil von User-centred Design in der Praxis. Drei major fails:

1) Man kann sich die Hände entweder saukalt oder brühend heiß waschen. Außer man schafft es, die Hände schnell genug unter beiden Hähnen hin und her zu wedeln und so eine mittlere Temperatur auf der Haut zu erzeugen (ich habs nicht geschafft).

2) Vorrausgesetzt, die Hände passen überhaupt unter die Wasserhähne. Letztere sind nämlich dermaßen kurz, dass zumindest ich maximal zwei Finger auf einmal drunter bekomme und die Hände verrenken muss, um die Seife vollständig abzuwaschen.

3) Auf dem Bild nicht sichtbar: Den Kaltwasserhahn muss man voll aufdrehen, da bei geringerer Wassermenge das Wasser nach hinten auf das Waschbecken läuft. Da ist wohl die Kante nicht scharf genug. Ähnlicher Effekt wie bei manchen Flaschen oder Karaffen. Voll aufdrehen heißt aber natürlich auch große Sauerei durch spritzendes Wasser.

Back in early march I was lucky enough to share the #fossbackstage stage with Christoph (https://github.com/GBKS) of https://bitcoin.design/ to speak about contributing to the https://opendesign.guide/

I've personally created resources through my many OSS roles to help designers new to OSS get involved but the opendesign.guide evolved that work into something co-created and community owned.

Watch our talk here: https://bit.ly/FOSSBKST25

Talk blurb:
Designers often have a hard time seeing open-source as a place they might be comfortable in. So we are building a 12-chapter guide to make these journeys easier. It starts with a basic introduction to open-source, the role of design, how to get started, up to more advanced topics. The ambition is that the guide can be used for solo learning, group learning, and educational environments. It's a 100% open-source project, fully built in public. We are hoping to present it to you in this presentation, open up the space for conversation and feedback, and welcome contributions.

In Feb 2025 the https://opensourcedesign.net/ team applied for a devroom to host speakers on design in OSS topics and we succeeded in welcoming 8 fantastic speakers to Brussels in Feb 2025

More FOSDEM 2025 - quotes from folks who visited the devroom!

"I've been coming to FOSDEM for 10 years and the open source design devroom is the best room"

"I'm looking to change from software development to UX design and I didn't think it was possible until after this Dev room"

"The open source design devroom is one of the most accessible devrooms in terms of topic. I might not understand design in the same way as designers but I can always understand and appreciate the topics in the room"

Of course we did have some other comments like wanting better accessibility options for those with hearing and sight impairments. We're looking into what we might be able to do ahead of FOSDEM 2026 to be more inclusive.

Nice look at #enshittification from a designers POV (with a nod to @pluralistic ).

I totally share the analysis, it eloquently describes my vague feeling that I’m increasingly asked to design for the increase of short time profit instead of #usercentereddesign

Not sure though if designers in product teams have too much impact, but anyways, worth reading!

Let's talk about Design Strategy? Great, here’s a list of what design strategy isn’t:

- Simply aesthetics or surface styling.
- A one-size-fits-all solution.
- Merely following design trends without purpose.
- A fixed plan that can’t be changed.
-A planned process without interdisciplinary collaboration.
- Only about the end product and not the journey or process.
- Plan, based on personal preferences.
- A short-term fix without considering future implications.
- Unresponsive to changing market dynamics plan.
- Just about adding features.
- Designing the best user experience.
- Making it easier.
setting metric goals.
- Writing long docs and attending more meetings.
- A rigid doctrine immune to feedback.
- Devoid of empathy or understanding for users.
- Following the approach - more complex means better.
- Excluding accessibility and inclusivity needs.

Infotainment-Systeme in PKW werden von ihren Nutzern abgelehnt! Ein klares Zeichen dafür, dass am User vorbeientwickelt wird und noch mehr als das, dass Autobauer eben keine Software-Entwickler sind. Aber sie probieren es ja auch erst seit zig Jahren 🙈.
