Every time I "eject disk" via the right-click menu on a Mac, I wonder what UI designer thought putting "erase disk" right below that option was a good idea...

2. Windows inside of windows.
Ivory does this, probably others, where Alt text pops up over the image and cannot be moved. It’s fast, but annoying, to toggle the text off/on to take in whole photo while reading the ALT. Maybe trying to save space for smaller screens, but I have giant monitor and want to enjoy people's photos without constantly toggling ALT.
Apple's quicktime player does this with the player control. You can move it, but only within the confines of the video window, it stays visible until you move mouse out of the window. If you have multiple windows the one mouse is over shows a player, even if it isn't frontmost (i.e. hitting space will not start playback for that window even though it shows controls).
Mac (maybe others) UI features that should go away, a small thread.
1. Little popups that disappear when you switch to another app. Trying to get camera settings for ALT text and have to memorize/toggle back and forth because Apple photos hides the popup when I leave photos app. Quicktime does this with “Movie Inspector” popup.
Some CAD work from the Melodica I posted on Monday, created for Giacomo Lepri in #FreeCAD (I really miss the Star Wars-inspired 'clone' icon...) #FLOSS #CAD #Design #DigitalMusicalInstrument #Melodica #Music #UIDesign #3DModeling #OpenSourceDesign #MusicTech #InstrumentDesign #SoundDesign #Makers #DIYMusic #Engineering #MusicProduction #ProductDesign #CreativeCoding #TechArt #FreeSoftware #Innovation #DigitalFabrication #MusicalInstruments #MusicMakers #DesignInspiration #giacomolepri
A while back, I designed and created components to attach electronics to a melodica in collaboration with Giacomo Lepri. #melodica #design #sonology #lasercutting #dmi #freecad #uidesign #musicalinstrumentdesign #steim #giacomolepri
Check out how cool I looked while assembling a #knurl with @rafaele.m.andrade!

I'm just going to say it. Whoever designed the new notifications layout and design for Mastodon needs to go back to the drawing board (and UI design school). In some cases, esp if you start off with a tag, it looks and works horribly. (desktop view). Way worse than the old way just a month or two ago.

Using 3D to reference objects when drawing app icons is such a hack. #BuildInPublic #uidesign #appicon #indiedev
1 year ago I switched from Mac to Linux for professional UX design work. In this article, I explain as simply as possible:
- Why I switched to Linux
- How you can do the same.
I cover design-specific concerns like:
- How to use Apple devices like the Magic Mouse in Linux
- Which design tools are available and how to install them
- How to find help if you get stuck
