#uxd — Public Fediverse posts

I am starting to talk about UXD from an HCI perspective as PIE: Paradigmatic Interaction Experience, or, individually, interaction experience paradigms.

I don't have the clout to coin a term and expect anyone to use it, but fuck it. #UXD is too much about two-dimensional widgets. #HCI is too broadly about #informatics in #sociology.

WTF am I talking about?

Epubs and PDFs are consumed in the same paradigm.
Filesystem navigation is a paradigm, and you know what experience to expect during that.

After almost 20 years in corporate #ux and eventually working my way up to Director of #CX for an airline SaaS company, I am starting to take on #careerCoaching engagements.

I want to help digital creatives
- protect their peace
- know when good enough is good enough
- learn how to speak "business" to drive change

If you are a #UXD, #CXD, or #digitalCreative and want someone to help you navigate the storms of work, set up some time to chat - https://thefocusedjourney.youcanbook.me/

Technology that is helpful might be proactive – but then with a robust Undo function – or it might wait in the background untill called. It depends on the context.

Technology that is helpful doesn't harass.

The cashier's name tag says "Charlie".

The receipt says: "You were served by Robbie".

Charlie and Robbie both appear to be about 16 years old. They've never heard the phrase "audit trail" nor do they care about cash-drawer reconciliation or their performance stats.

The system's users do what's easy and convenient for themselves. It should be harder for cashiers to use a till they haven't signed in to. This is a design failure.

One good way to support the Fediverse's volunteer devs: ask them to work with volunteer design and user-research practitioners who help them to develop and test usable designs – before any substantial code is written.

Testing mockups and prototypes with the community would reduce unhappiness all around.

I remember reading (or should I say experiencing?) "Snow Fall" when it was published ten years ago. As a working web/UX designer and freelance creative lead, I was excited by these affordances of visual journalism but also intimidated, because the effort required serious collaboration by a crack interdisciplinary team.

Snow Fall doesn't look new now, but back then it was a compelling model of what could be.
