Does this use frames or iframe? https://kagi.com/smallweb

I would expect a raw link in the top bar to the page shown, to be able to bookmark it etc.

There is a '↗'-shaped icon in the navigation bar at the top. If you click on that it takes you to the original post in a new tab. On Firefox and Safari, you can also right click that icon and add the original post to the bookmarks.

Not visible on iphone xs/13 mini.

FYI frames don't exist any more. They're not supported by browsers.

Hm? Deprecated, yes but https://caniuse.com/mdn-html_elements_frameset

Fb purity browser addon helps, though its ui is quite cryptic.

On mobile, (my) thumbs are already at the locations where iventions places the toggle and the menu.

Elodie makes a copy of all my images initially? Is the recommenddd route then to delete the files in original location? Seems unclear at first read.

There's a `--trash` option for the import command. It's not the default behavior though. I recommend deleting the source photos once you've verified Elodie has organized the photos how you'd like.

Gimp may be a bitnof a bad example nowadays? Of course depends on your habits and standards.

The best way to draw a circle in gimp is still the awkward select -> foreground fill workflow. At this point this example is beating a dead horse, but the horse shall continue to be beaten until a proper ellipse tool is added.

Instructions unclear. I've kidnapped the GIMP and Inkscape teams and forced them to blend their work into one product.

It now has an ellipse tool, but finding it among the toolbars and menus is left as an exercise for the reader

These are all products the ux direction of which is likely influenced more by corporate power dynamics. Sure, uxers are involved, the real power they have is a different question.

Everyone’s got their preferences, quality of ux is by definition subjective. That is what makes these discussions hard. Naming any examples will always have ”nah i don’t like that product” as counterpoint.

An equally weird trope us UX practitioners dumbing down UIs. It simply depends on who we are designing for.

As soon as developers actively hang out with real users in real life and genuinely observe them without intervening, i’m all for oss projects without uxers.

Disclaimer: did my master’s thesis on OSS UX.

Game dev here. Play tests are excruciatingly painful. Spend some time showing off a game and you can see why so much ux these days are "boring" and samey. Deviating off the beaten road takes so much extra polish compared to seeing how competition controls work and copying that.

Shameless plug: User Experience Design in Open Source: Inviting the Users

I’m definitely going to read those, but even without doing so “inviting the users” as a concept carries a lot of potential. We were tasked to rewrite a very old windows app for backend grocery store sales in a web/Laravel/Vue application, and product spent _months_ if not longer sitting with sales reps, watching them use the old tool, and asking them what they would want to see - how does it work? Can it be more efficient? What do you dread most when using this?

The end result was a real pleasure both to write and to use.

Seems to treat finnish kapsi.fi hosting as US?

One could claim it is a self reflection tool where the point is not the claims at face value, but the value lies in the activity itself of focusing, of directing your mind to look at and feel your existence from a different/wide perspective. Which is true about many pedagogical tools.

The concrete results would thus be highly specific to the subject and their learning process on what they themselves deem relevant.
