I've been working on a UI framework called Quill, to drive e-ink displays on low cost hardware. E-ink is awesome, but it's kind of a pain to make beautiful and performant UIs for it. Quill aims to change that. Check it out at quill-ui.com

@hdarshane @johnnulls Also: many products shouldn’t push the interaction design envelope so much that design systems are constrictive / detrimental. Rather the opposite. Many valuable CRUD apps benefit from systematization. When exploring new frontiers in IxD I agree, but that’s not always the case!

@johnnulls Yes, definitely agree, visual consistency and just general direction is great. Some specs, palettes, etc. are an absolute must for any ≥bearable experience. Design systems today obv do that well, but go too far ahead and take away all flexibility and put unnecessary constraints.

I want screens and devices that emit no light Like high quality e-ink everything, or something analogous Is this an idiosyncratic preference? I feel like if people wanted it as much as I do it would exist but not sure

Has anyone made an app that you can only use when your phone screen is facing down / away from you

3y old thread. Sooooo many people mentioned mobile/desktop operating systems. It's kind of tragic we're still stuck with stagnant versions in practice. It's not too great with theory either, it's been half a decade since we saw something as radical as MercuryOS and Desktop Neo 😔

If you could pick anything, what would you love to (re)design? Here's my list: - Zoom - Steam - Browser - FaceTime - Email client - Calendar app - Code editor - Mobile OS - Desktop OS

@hdarshane Same reason as it’s hard to displace the QWERTY despite better alternatives existing? Also, it’s a ton of work to make a desktop OS?
Daniel Roeven@danielroeven

While complexity isn't the enemy, learning new skills is an enjoyable experience etc... there's a flipside. Namely: it becomes very hard to uproot a local maximum in interaction. E.g. the QWERTY keyboard. Much better layouts exist, but most ppl just can't invest a couple months

Who's got some hypotheses as to why we were never able to reinvent the desktop os?

@seflless The first head mounted display system with three-dimensional tracking capabilities called Sword of Damocles inventor Ivan Sutherland. Has a ring to it!

A reminder for those worried about their aging as techies. The greatest demo all time was made and done by a 43 year old, in 1968 to boot.

if something is sufficiently awkward to do in your language's syntax, then people just won't do it, even if they theoretically could

"OO is a program design method, completely apart from language syntax" I don't really buy this. I think syntax is very important

@Zephraph Beautiful thought! I sometimes frame it as: if kid me knew what kind of stuff I’d be tinkering with now, all grown up, kid me would be delighted! Also: unbelievable how similar you look to kid you 😁

When I was a kid, I grew up in a cabinet shop. I remember playing in the saw dust and peeling wood glue off my fingers like I was shedding a second skin. Sometimes I still feel like that kid, sitting in the world's workshop, trying to manifest something from my imagination.

@berkeleygfx @mschoening ”Intuitive” is an overloaded term I think. Means “easily learnable” but also “offloadable to system 1 thru practice” (Driving a car is intuitive). Hi-prod systems can be intuitive. Just need to design the complexity in such a way that it can reliably be mastered, thru practice.
Daniel Roeven@danielroeven

Working out a taxonomy of intuitive interaction... One aspect is whether it builds on skills learned by living in the natural world, vs designed in such a way that an originally unnatural interaction allows intuitiveness to emerge through practice. twitter.com/danielroeven/s…

There appears to be an inherent trade off between intuitive and high-productivity interfaces. And it seems impossible to reconcile the two (hope we're wrong). A subway ticket machine should have a very intuitive and straightforward GUI. But a tool that you use for hours daily (vim, macOS, etc) should sacrifice intuitiveness for high productivity. Operating Systems don't get this. They try to do both and fail miserably.

@parkerhendo Thats my weak point too atm. I’m fast+comfy on my split, columnar Colemak lily58. On the MacBook keyboard I still run QWERTY. No matter how I try, I can’t get Colemak (and layers and stuff) to feel right on the the built in keyboard :( ruined working on just a laptop for me!

I'm attempting to learn colemak (again) and typing on a keyboard who's keys don't match the printed letters they input when pressed is utterly destroying my brain.

@milanlajtos @cwervo Frickin love those posts! And like I said, handwriting (w recognition and all) is better for some use cases. But for long form writing + text editing, nothing beats a good keyboard + vim. Even ergonomics wise! Which is a counterintuitive finding I think 😄

Button pressing is much easier and cheaper to implement than handwriting recognition. We now have tools to implement more humane interface. Be it natural voice, handwriting, gestures, face expressions, etc. Handwriting code and drawing sketches inside single medium feels nice. mlajtos.mu/posts/new-kind…
