I just want interfaces to be keyboard-only OR touch-only
But if keyboard shortcuts are super useful, I shouldn't _have to_ drag or right click *at all*.
If it supports drag-and-drop, I should be able to do *everything* with touch.
Easier said than done, sure. But I think this is a serious consideration for any competitive interface.

@javapro Honestly, this is going the wrong direction. You MUST start with a validated user experience via #DesignThinking. If you start from domain models, you're probably not building for humans. #UXD
What I hope for from AG-UI actually doesn't need AI at all. I am hoping for a human-centric #UXD layer that could be the front-end component of a #ComposableComputing / #MalleableSoftware / #BrutalistComputing / #PhenotropicProgramming paradigm, unlocking for common users most of the functionality of modern computing that most have relied on app developers to eventually roll out for them.
@stroughtonsmith Apple could have delivered the world a better experience of navigating a decision tree than the menu bar by now, and this would have been a good time to do it.
I do #loveToHate #Apple, but there are sadly few companies who make bold moves in #HCI #UXD and are followed by industry. Maybe Apple isn't even that anymore?
Come on. Alan Kay was great, but the desktop metaphor *can* be improved on.
Yes, @adamwiggins @geoffreylitt, this is an awesome and timely contribution to the fields of #HCI and #UXD.
It is a critical insight that there are more skill levels than: users, power users, and developers. Or there *should* be.
My highlight: "A gentle slope also supports smoother collaboration between people of different skill levels."
Designing for multiple skill levels (without requiring climbing gear) makes it easier for people to request help of those with the next-more-advanced skill.
Google的little language lessons也太可爱了吧，黏土风格的UI好特别。还可以让用户自行输入想要学习的主题，主动学习。超棒 #google #uxd #ai #languagelearning
字节系产品再次震惊我，这细节的体验设计做的真的太赞了。压根没有想到的一些功能点，但是发现之后真的太爱，完全在用户前面一步提升了体验，这不是创新者的至高境界？！

A notification badge is often a red dot that shows a digit. That digit is the unread-message count.
The digit in the badge must match the unread-message count!
Lately, I've seen a badge promising 1 or 2 messages in the Google Play Store, a telco app, and a banking app when there were no unread messages.
Incorrect system-status info is a defect. It'll train users to pay less attention to the badge.

A #chatbot can't answer my question, so it offers to connect me to a person.
Bot: "Do you want to speak to a staff member?"
Yes/No.
Me: "Yes."
Bot: "Sorry, the office is closed. Please try again on Monday after 9am."
Ask another question/Quit.
🤔 Other questions I have: Why didn't your designers have you check staff availability before offering to connect me, or have you offer to queue my message for someone to answer on Monday morning?
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.

A decade ago, we knew how rare it was for an icon to be understood by all.
At that time, NN/g called the hamburger icon (a stack of 3 lines, for a menu of links) "an icon that is striving to become universally known."
Is gov.uk trying to make another icon universlly known? Do you know what the icon in this screenshot means?
Answer in the ALT text.

An AI function I would use:
During video calls, generate video of my face that always looks at the camera – not slightly down at my laptop keyboard, or sideways at the cat – in the interest of better interpersonal communication through eye contact.

Have you ever noticed how, in the dark, it's exponentially more difficult to plug something in?
WAY more difficult than it seems it ought to be. Why is that?
I'd love to see a student design competition to propose some solutions.
