Hi, Hello! It’s me, Izzy and I am back from a very long break!

For those who don’t know who I am and just saw my post, I’m Isabelle but Izzy for short (and even shorter, Izi)! I run a Codeblr blog which I post about anything coding! I try to strictly only talk about coding, programming and computer science, but frankly, I ramble on about something else eventually! Hope you’re doing well!

Now, I know I said I wouldn't come back, but that was because I suddenly became stuck on what to post about and wanted to give myself a break and figure out how to do things on my blog and my online presence in general!

So, in summary, I am back from my break very inspired and eager to help more people get into programming / get better at programming! I will go on to talk about exactly what I have been doing during my break later on in this post, but wanted to say thank you to everyone who messaged me throughout the months and saw how I was! Very thought and extra blessings from God to you, please!

Working at my new-but-not-so-new job!

Yes! So, obviously, as a 21st Century girlie, I am working! Still at the music company that I started back in January! Now that I am 8 months into the job, I feel now I am fully immersed in the job and the projects and not feeling like an outsider! I went on multiple out-the-office events with the whole company and it was nice! Some I couldn’t attend because of religious reasons, but I still had fun! I got to meet a lot more girlies at my office that I don’t usually talk to (because I’m still the only girl in the frontend engineering team but there is a backend girlie but we don’t work close together so… distance)! Cheatingly, I am always ticking the box of “code every day”! However, work has made me do more UI/UX designing + frontend programming websites which I love! Always wanted to be both and not just one or the other! We are allowed to have 2 job titles, remember? (But make sure the salary is in accordance, of course, ~)

Learning new technologies! (for fun, obviously)

By “for fun” I mean personal reasons, the technologies I learnt on a whim were not for work but because I needed to learn them for personal projects I wanted to learn! I stress again; it’s more fun to learn something because you want to and not because you have to! So, I have been learning how to create desktop applications using ElectronJS and ReactJS (React has become my best friend!). Me now compared to me when I started my break is 10x smarter I feel like! My brain has definitely expanded somewhere…!

Latest project?!

Inspired by study productivity apps and wanting to track my Korean language progress, I am making a desktop application called ‘eStudySpace’! It would be my own personal app, but I want to see if I can actually pull something like this off! Right now I have not coded anything because I want to work on the design aspect first (which is smarter and a time saver in the future), so I have been on Figma for the last 2 weeks coming up with designs!

(It looks bad, I know this is like idea no.3287368 ugh...)

Miscs

I have been learning Korean for 4 months now. 

I have plans to move to a South-Eastern country, The Philippines? Singapore? Unsure!

I do have plans to switch to a new career but that’s more like 5 years into the future! But right now, I’m happy where I am at!

[trashiis]

Ok this is a bit of a wordy post but bear with me. I've been reading up on the tech literacy discourse and I thought I'd add my two cents, and how it connects to piracy. LONG post under the cut!

I was born in the year 2000, which puts me on the border of being a digital native. I was brought up on tech, but only in my later childhood and teens. I've always considered myself "tech literate," but no more than the usual kid my age.

The first time I ever truly experienced tech illiteracy with my peers was when I was 23, when in one of my college classes a MacOS update rendered the software we used for said class unusable. After a few days a temporary patch was released, which by that point an assignment that utilized the software was due the next day. I followed the patch instructions, which involved navigating to the software files and substituting a designated file with the provided patch. A bit more complicated than a simple update, but the instructions were clear and intuitive enough to easily understand where the file went. The next day, during a class study session, I overheard multiple people come up to the professor complaining that the software wasn't working. After the second person complained with the professor being clueless, I asked the student what MacOS version they were on. Sure enough they were on the latest version, which as we already know is incompatible with the software. I then walked the student through the patching process step-by-step, with them needing to essentially be hand held through the entire process (almost to the point of me doing everything for them). After the patch was implemented, the student thanked me and said "Wow! How did you figure all of this out?" and to me that question was stupid- I just googled "[software] [version] MacOS [version] fix", went to the first result (which was the company website), downloaded the patch zip file, and followed the instructions on the README.txt file. It was so easy, and I couldn't comprehend that this was somehow complicated for other people, especially those my age. I mean we literally grew up using computers. It wasn't until I started learning about tech literacy and learned helplessness that I finally started connecting the dots.

Tech in general is becoming extremely user friendly, almost to a fault. UI and UX simplicity is taking away any critical thinking needed to use any sort of tech. My peers are so used to one-click and/or automatic updates, so the fact that this required slightly more effort than a simple update triggered their learned helplessness. The professor was no help in this case either, since he just extended the due date for those affected with no penalty. I actually ended up making a very detailed (and I mean idiot proof detailed) step by step picture guide with screenshots on how to install the patch for the software for the class. Anyways, back to the main point- How can I blame my peers for not knowing how to install a "complicated" update when they're so used to being spoon-fed simplicity?

But hang on- how was I the exception? I'm just as used to tech simplicity as anyone else, it's not like I'm using anything differently or making things harder for myself on purpose (I'm looking at you, linux users). So why was I the only one who knew how to install this update? It wasn't until I had a discussion many months later with my mom about this tech illiteracy epidemic that I finally thought it through. I acquired problem solving skills through piracy. To start off: not piracy but adjacent- learning to install mods in Minecraft when I was 11 taught me file navigation and what a README.txt file was, as well as the importance of version specificity/compatibility. Figuring out how to play Pokemon roms on the family computer and my iPod touch when I was 12? That's piracy, and it also taught me how to work with different platforms and the art of jailbreaking. Installing custom firmware on my 3ds so I could pirate games when I was 16 taught me how to follow written tech instructions without any visual guidance. Pirating Adobe software on my MacBook in high school taught me about patching files on MacOS. All of this knowledge and inherent googling that came with it made installing the patch for my class software look like a tiny drop in the bucket in terms of complexity.

So why am I saying all of this? Am I suggesting people learn to pirate to become tech literate?

yes.

With everything becoming pay-walled, subscription services running rampant, the proliferation of closed-source "ecosystems" *cough* Apple *cough*, and (arguably) most importantly media preservation, piracy is a skill that will serve you well in the long term. It will teach you critical thinking in the tech sphere, and if enough people learn then we can solve this ever growing epidemic of tech illiteracy. I'm not really sure how to end this post, so if anyone has anything else they'd like to add please feel free to.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

[kaecodes]

HI, so long time no talk! I haven't gone anywhere, I just had some personal financial troubles that were resolved via...lots of overtime! I am a physicist by day, so that meant I became one by night for a couple months. But I remained coding, designing, & sketching things in my scant moments.

More importantly, I've been doing a lot of reading & observing of the Jcink RPC & I am really gutted by the lack of free resources I've seen become manifest. As a result, I've been percolating some easy design methods I could use to fast track totally free skins to give out as bi-monthly as I can manage in the near future.

Because I'm not one to stick to an aesthetic or design style so much as following a settled philosophy of coding, each of my skins will be entirely unique (no reused assets besides utility scripts, perhaps fonts, etc) but will all be;

Designed to be entirely responsive, with fallback & default setups for Custom Fields, image appearance or omission, etc.

Designed to load in a second & half or under, universally.

Neatened to be readable, cascade-organized, & fully notated with CSS & HTML notes to explain important components, how they work, & how to edit them.

Provided with a dark, light, & middle theme colour option as well as High Contrast option.

Provided with Staff, Member & Character profile & miniprofiles.

Provided with a full Custom BBCode suite of site templates to match the skin.

Based on the UI/UX design of a game with striking visuals that can be used for similar genres.

Now, this is a tall order, but I really want to flex my muscle & try to give folks something to be optimistic over in a landscape of drama-blog wastelanded distress. I want to put out something productive & positive, to make the community better & bring us together a bit <3 As a result, I'm going to need a little help from you all. I need to figure out which "Inspos" to work off of first based on desire for them, to fill the starving niches from most important to "least" so to speak. For the next few weeks, I'll post some polls & would be endlessly grateful if you all paid it forward by boosting but also voting on the games whose vibes you want to see MOST PRESSINGLY manifested as skins in the Jcink RPC.

I will, also, eventually port each one to Forumactivo, so for my Forumactivo folks, please let me know when you get specific polls so I can prioritize converting those skins for you! You deserve just as much love!

Of course, if there's a specific game you want to see feel free to comment on this post & I'll make sure to put it in the first poll, but for now that's all. The first list of inspo options will come out later today or tomorrow, Stay tuned & stay awesome, may the Dance keep you all absolutely blessed!

Tangling the web: an upcoming post series (?)

Hey all! Amari here. I'll be starting a post series about web design traits and trends that have become inescapable across the internet, and whether we can internet without them—as users, developers, and designers.

Petri Dish - a weird web experience thing I made.

So, I'm a web developer who's had brief stints in graphic design, and my current PhD research orbits around the theme of virtual spaces and places. I've made websites, I've taught people how to make websites, and I'm something of an avid user of websites myself.

And…well…I'm bored! I'm bored of SEO-driven design. I'm bored of single-flow webpages that start with a giant hero image and end in a shiny call to action button—all designed to channel you as quickly as possible to the part where you subscribe or enter your card details.

(Even this post is formatted like one of them! It wasn't even intentional! It's become ingrained in the way I structure and present my ideas, and that's just a little disturbing.)

These templates are sweeping the landscape like invasive trees. And at the heart of this scourge is the vaunted axiom of "Predictability," which gets peddled in every UI/UX class that is "future-oriented" enough to use that acronym. Predictability lets users learn a new site quickly so they spend money sooner, fosters comfort and familiarity with the idea of spending money, and allows for the development of usage patterns where money is spent.

I get the merits of that axiom; I get that it has a time and place. But when game and webcomic sites look and feel and interact like that, I think we have to ask: Can we imagine something different? Can we slow the takeover of the smooth corpo aesthetic? Can we avert a future where the effective geography of the web, with all its varied terrain and endemic textures, is bulldozed into featureless oblivion?

I think it would be presumptuous to suggest that they're some mythic species of the past that slowly died out, too. A lot of the web experiences we loved well as kids are still right there, or have successors that are! They've just gotten so crowded out, by the combination of corporate sites and corporate-driven search algorithms, that one wonders if they will someday become impossible to stumble upon.

Anyway, the intended post series is born out of these provocations. I'd like to tackle elements of the current schema of "good web design" and contemplate a web without them (hopefully with examples if I can find them):

Predictable layouts, the "F" scan pattern, and calls to action

Discoverability / SEO

Well-formed HTML and well-maintained linkage

Responsive web design

Identity and device tracking

Socially engineering higher engagement through design

Statefulness and timelines

Visually communicating functionality

And I know, all of these things sound like good traits for a site to have. And yes, in most contexts, they are! But I think imagining the web without them is a highly worthwhile exercise anyway.

Anyway, stay tuned if that interests you—I will be posting them to this blog and tagging them with #tangling the web. Alas, my Call to Action reflex could not be denied, and I had to give you an easily actionable instruction at the end of the post.

Introduction

What is Mobile App Design?

Importance of Creating a Custom Design

Latest Trends in Mobile App UI Design in 2024

Steps to Build the Most Effective App UI Design Process

How Can Verve Systems Help You with Mobile App Design?

Introduction

Mobile app design is a critical aspect of creating a successful and engaging digital product. As the mobile landscape evolves, it’s crucial for businesses and developers to stay abreast of the latest trends and design principles to deliver exceptional user experiences. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the fundamental concepts of mobile app design, emphasize the importance of creating custom designs, delve into the latest trends in mobile app UI design in 2024, outline the steps to build the most effective app UI design process, and discuss how Verve Systems can assist you with your mobile app design endeavors.

What is Mobile App Design?

Mobile app design involves creating a visual and interactive interface for applications that run on mobile devices. It encompasses not only the aesthetics but also the functionality and user experience (UX). A well-designed mobile app considers user preferences, navigation, and the overall journey from the moment a user launches the app until they complete their desired actions.

Importance of Creating a Custom Design

1. Brand Identity:

A custom app design reflects and reinforces your brand identity. Consistent branding across your digital products helps in building brand recognition and trust among users.

2. User Engagement:

Tailoring the design to your specific audience enhances user engagement. A custom design allows for a user-centric approach, addressing the unique needs and preferences of your target demographic.

3. Competitive Edge:

In a crowded app market, a unique and aesthetically pleasing design can give your app a competitive edge. Users are more likely to choose an app that not only meets their functional needs but also provides an enjoyable and visually appealing experience.

4. Adaptability:

Custom designs can be adapted to the specific requirements of your app, ensuring that the user interface aligns seamlessly with the app’s functionality and purpose. This adaptability is crucial for creating a cohesive and intuitive user experience.

Latest Trends in Mobile App UI Design in 2024

As we step into 2024, several trends are shaping the landscape of mobile app UI design. Staying informed about these trends can help designers and developers create apps that feel modern and relevant:

1. Dark Mode Dominance:

Dark mode has become more than just a trend; it’s now a staple in UI design. Users appreciate the reduced eye strain and enhanced visual aesthetics offered by dark mode interfaces.

2. Microinteractions:

Microinteractions, such as animated buttons and subtle transitions, provide feedback to users, making the app feel responsive and interactive. These small design elements contribute to a more engaging user experience.

3. Immersive 3D Elements:

Leveraging 3D elements in mobile app design adds a layer of realism and immersion. Whether it’s interactive 3D models or depth-enhancing effects, these elements create visually stunning experiences.

4. Neumorphism:

Neumorphism is a design trend that combines elements of skeuomorphism and flat design. It involves using subtle shadows and highlights to create a soft, tactile appearance, giving apps a modern and futuristic feel.

5. Gesture-Based Navigation:

With the rise of edge-to-edge screens, gesture-based navigation is gaining prominence. Apps are increasingly adopting intuitive gestures for actions like swiping, pinching, and tapping, enhancing the overall navigation experience.

Steps to Build the Most Effective App UI Design Process

Creating an effective app UI design process requires careful planning and execution. Here are the key steps to ensure a successful outcome:

1. Define Clear Objectives:

Begin by clearly defining the objectives of your mobile app. Understand the target audience, the app’s purpose, and the desired user journey. This foundation will guide the entire design process.

2. Research and User Persona Development:

Conduct thorough research on your target audience. Develop user personas to understand their needs, preferences, and pain points. This information will inform design decisions that resonate with your users.

3. Wireframing and Prototyping:

Create wireframes to outline the basic structure and layout of your app. Progress to prototyping to visualize the flow and interactions. Prototypes provide a tangible representation of the user experience.

4. Iterative Design Process:

Adopt an iterative approach to design. Gather feedback at each stage, make improvements, and refine the design. This cyclical process ensures that the final product aligns closely with user expectations.

5. Responsive Design for Multiple Platforms:

Consider the diversity of devices and screen sizes. Implement responsive design principles to ensure a seamless and consistent experience across various platforms, be it smartphones, tablets, or wearables.

6. Testing and User Feedback:

Conduct thorough testing of the app’s design, functionality, and performance. Seek feedback from real users through beta testing and make necessary adjustments based on their insights.

7. Implementation and Development Collaboration:

Collaborate closely with developers during the implementation phase. A seamless partnership between designers and developers ensures that the envisioned design is translated into a functional and aesthetically pleasing app.

8. Continuous Improvement:

Post-launch, monitor user interactions and gather analytics. Use this data for continuous improvement, addressing any issues, and incorporating user feedback into future updates.

Hi im on my 3rd year of info tech and im just only getting the grasp of it or maybe it's bc we're doing web development this year. i am completely uninterested with the first languages i learned except web design. do i eventually have to go through java and c again when i have to work or before i apply? learning those overwhelmed me so much 😢

First of all, don't do things that overwhelm you to the point it stresses you out. Yes, you might have to do it for your course but you're not interested in it really, so don't do it any further than you have to! There are more fun languages to play around with!

Back to the question: It depends on the job you want to do, to be honest. Some job roles will tell you upfront what languages are a requirement such as 'Java Developer' or 'C# ASP.NET Developer' - you get what I mean, you would probably want to avoid them. But for more vague titles like Software Developer, you need to read into the description of the job or the company to see what their tech stack involves and see what you enjoy and can do matches what they're looking for in a person to join their company!

For example, my job (minus the apprenticeship side) is a Software Developer and it is very JavaScript frameworks, C# and SQL based (with HTML and CSS in the background a bit, of course). So, I didn't and won't need to learn Java or C in order to do my job. Other Software Developer jobs might include Java.

If you are leaning more towards the web design route because that's more interesting, I haven't seen a lot of web design jobs need someone who knows Java or C. Web Design is more UX, UI, visual design, frontend languages and frameworks, SEO, maybe even learning to use programs like Adobe Creative Suite to design the websites. And of course, having 'excellent attention to detail'.

Web Developer is most of those things but add backend web programming languages (such as but not limited to, Python, Java, JavaScript, Ruby, C#, and PHP) and frameworks to the mix. Extra things to know really. Read more about this!!

Basically what I'm trying to say is that:

No, there's a high chance you won't have to learn Java and/or C to get a job only if you're applying for jobs that require it the most

Not all tech jobs require you to know either the two languages

However, that means learning the languages/frameworks that are required if you don't know them already

In Web design/web development, you can get a job in some cases knowing just HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a couple JavaScript frontend and backend frameworks. Go the extra mile and learn backend stuff like MongoDB, SQL or MySQL - if you want.

See what is available in the job market around you, not everywhere is the same

If you see a common pattern, e.g. a lot of jobs require Vue.js or React.js etc, probably learn them and make a couple projects in them so you're ready to apply for those types of jobs in the future (this is what I'm doing)

Pluto conjunct natal Mercury-Uranus-Neptune

Pluto has been transiting my natal Mercury, Uranus, and Neptune since 2020. As of 2023, it is moving away from natal Neptune and towards natal Uranus and Mercury.

Neptune in Capricorn 26 degrees in 5th house [natal]

Uranus in Aquarius 2 degrees in 6th house [natal]

Mercury in Aquarius 3 degrees in 6th house[natal]

When Pluto was close to my Neptune, I happened to start or end a creative endeavor. Or, something about the event was Neptunian/Piscean in nature.

Going into 2023, there is a shift from Neptunian events to more Uranian and Mercurial ones.

Notice that until 2023, the events are creativity (Neptune) and hobby (5th house) related. Starting from 2023, my Mercury-Uranus in 6th house conjunction is getting more attention. My sudden job change and the nature of that job are examples of this.

LIST OF EVENTS WHEN PLUTO TRANSITED NATAL MERCURY-URANUS-NEPTUNE:

2020

5/12/20 - First day of working out regularly by following YouTube videos. I was working out every day for almost 2 hours. I had NEVER worked out before this. For several months after, I was obsessed with working out; it was therapeutic to me.

6/6/20 - First day of UX/UI design online course

2021

3/23/21 - I made a journal entry this day that I was seriously thinking of going into animation and coding.

6/6/21 - Last day of UX/UI design online course

6/7/21 - The day after, I started my first day of 3D animation class. Pluto is EXACTLY conjunct my natal Neptune on this day.

6/23/21 - I attempted a no-fish-and-seafood diet ❌🐟🦀❌ after watching a documentary about our negative impact on the ecosystem due to overfishing and overconsumption of fish/seafood. Failed, but I really tried.

2022

3/16/22 - Hit with a major internal crisis. Issues from the past came back, and I didn't know where I was headed in life. Felt very uncertain about what I was doing in life.

3/29/22 - Last day of 3D animation class.

6/20/22 - The day I started my Tumblr blog littledigest. Pluto was also opposite natal asteroid Educatio (2440); seems appropriate as I am giving my experiences and take on astrology through this blog.

7/10/22 - The day I reached 100 followers on Tumblr

8/7/22 - I visited a local psychic fair with my mom and sister. 🔮 We've never gone out of our way to go to anything like this before.

10/3/22 - I learned how to use a sewing machine. Making clothes was something that I had been DREAMING about for so long. Did I continue? No, but I'm sure I'll go back to it someday.

11/22/22 - Introduced to a job position that seemed completely out of my league. I wasn't even job searching, but this landed on my lap out of nowhere. Had nothing to do with the job I was doing at the time.

12/12/22 - I got a call back that I got the job. Found out I will be earning a lot more than in my previous job 🤑. Pluto was also square natal asteroid Destinn (6583). Don't know if this job is my DESTINY, but interesting...Maybe I'm on the right path?

2023

1/6/23 - Last day of old job; got a new haircut in the city after work. 💇‍♀️ Realized this was the first time I went to get a haircut on my own IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. Prob not significant to you, but it was bonkers to me. How have I never gotten a haircut on my own before?

1/9/23 - First day of my new job. Transit Uranus is conjunct my natal midheaven too. I'm no longer 100% remote; I have to go into the office; my whole routine has changed. This new job of mine is an admin position but for a technology department. [Uranian]

2/8/23 - Met with superior. Afterward, manager tells me superior wants me to work with them on data work. My work becomes less about admin duties. [Mercurial/Uranian]

2/18/23 - Played a gambling card game with my family for the first time and won. Pluto also square natal asteroid Las Vegas (82332). Not Vegas but won some money 💵. [Neptunian/Uranian]

2/26/23 - started this Long Game project on littledigest. Pluto also inconjunct natal asteroid Discovery (9770). I hope this project uncovers something special! [Mercurial/Uranian/Neptunian]

More to come as time goes on

New Pilot Joins the Squadron: Welcome the New Graphic Designer

Greetings, Dan Here!

So I am pleased to announce that a new graphic designer has joined the Beneath Twisted Earth team. This gentleman goes by the name of Rick Courtney, and will be designing the layout of the premium pdf and print versions of BTE. Rick specializes in Visual, UX, and UI design and we are very excited to see how is unique flair adds to the feeling of our precapitalist, dystopian RPG. As they become available we will also look into providing layout previews of the final product.

In other news, the community discord and mech pregen pack are both underway, and should be released soon. For the pregen pack, the intent was to provide pre-built mechs for GMs who are looking to run a one shot at conventions, or are looking to jump into the game at the drop of the hat. Pre-generated mechs will be provided at three levels of play, starter, mid-tier, and high-tier mechs. Players would still need to make their pilots, and roll for their weapon skills, but otherwise this pack will make what was designed as a quick character creation process even faster.

That's it for now, look back for updates in the coming weeks. Otherwise, as always thank you for your continued interest, and I look forward to seeing you all at the launch of the premium/print versions in early 2024!
