Good design includes everyone, great design thinks of them first. 💡

Accessibility isn’t an add-on, it’s a mindset that shapes better digital experiences♿💙

Having all this in place now, I need to think of a better way of the flow of creating and managing the groups, but not only that. In the groups menu, once a new one is created, the user doesn’t have to tap “Save.” The changes are saved on their own.

I'm sorry to repeat that yet again, but: Users are never wrong.

Users did something, users concluded something, users interacted somehow, because of the UX *you* made.

To IT folks: Remember the times when we laughed at people that did not know how to take screenshot or screen recording and instead used their phone cameras to do so?

To the same IT folks: Now did you realise that we laughed so hard and for so long that this became the norm instead of "the right way" to do recording? Instead, you know, actually us solving the problem and offering a good, intuitive, native, integrated solution?

The fact that in 2023 meany "flagship" #Android apps can't take user input and fire a background task on things that will *inevitably* take long time (cause they can, by design, handle a lot of data) to free the UI for the user. And instead they hog the app with annoying loaders. This is just ... sad.

In what universe is this acceptable default zoom level when looking for an accomodation "around me"? #UxMatters

This accidentally reminded me of my other belief:
Companies are oftentimes making it so like their users are dumb. When in reality it's just the poor UX and lack of affordances that make people do "dumb" things. And dumb in big quotes.
Here I am not able to lookup email address according to domain, but I do know that Gmail search is first class. So I can use that to find said company name in the email body. Giving me a pointer to the desired email address.
Users are not dumb, designs are.

I'm writing an email to a company. I don't remember the name of the specific person I already talked to. But I do remember the name of the company. So it's logical to search for the part of the email address behind @. Yet in 2023 this does not seem to be in the minds of the designers.

Embracing Introverted Strengths, Part 1
From UX Matters

"Many UX professionals are naturally introverted, which likely contributes to their not achieving the same career growth as other more extroverted professionals within an extrovert-biased corporate environment."

When metrics are importanter than #UX 🤦

To all the theme designers: Differentiating between H1, H2, H3, etc by changing font size is *not* enough for people like me. Give me colours, give me cursive, give me whole line underline, give me different font, give me something I can identify at-a-glance & without the need to have surrounding context.

The "you have to have second device to be able to use QR code that you have your first device" game is still strong.

Lines of public transport that share route, but go in opposite directions should *not* be named in the same way. Reason? If I'm in a hurry in a new city, it's extremely hard to orientate myself.
Proposed solutions:
- Make them one number apart: U8 vs U9
- Add suffix hinting general direction of the line: U8S (south) vs U8N (north)
- Make it so that odd numbers always go North or West or Clockwise and even numbers go South or East or Counterclockwise
