#ui ux

I feel like we don't give enough credit to whatever UI dev was responsible for making sure that all the coloured text options tumblr gives are readable on all of the different themes.

I mean… look at this shit!!

That's good detail work, my friends.

While I do think that dark text on light background is the most sensible default color scheme, I'm less convinced that the brightest point in the standard (modal) display's dynamic range should be the default light background.

I've been experimenting with new ways of showing text diffs.

wow the new Fortnite UI update is insane. it's so different.

Aaaaaa, thank you for the compliments!!

Oh, and I didn’t think about the image spoilering at all, but you talking about that made me think of another thing, and then remembering that Mastodon already has that so we have proof that it can be done: a button to hide any image anywhere at any time. On Discord only the sender can spoiler the image and only when sending, not when editing, but on Mastodon every image has a button that you can tap and it will hide it.

considering that I read something about Mastodon and Tumblr being in touch and communicating, this would be great to adopt from there!!! While I haven't been super active on mastodon the past months, I really liked how they clearly encourage ALT text and image descriptions.

A beautiful comment I found underneath this Technology Connections YouTube video.

Tech bro "leadership" principles that metastasize into UI/UX design spaces is a real problem and we can only hope (with good reason) that it's not pervasive in Tumbyland.

It's why that cold, antiseptic "blue + white" palette is so pervasive in software design (Facebook! and um Twitter! and some other things! are BLUE and WHITE! we should do that! too! duh!). Dullest, laziest, most anti-accessible palette of 'em all (i.e. actually viable palettes, don't get it twisted). Fucking knock it off! Blue and white can eat my whole entire ass me! Thankfully, Tumblr gives you options here. I'm just saying "be wary of this kind of idiotic, uninspired design spiral".

"Oh, our platform is hard to use if you haven't been terminally jacked into it like the Matrix for 15 years? Time to revamp all the controls and button layout and basic functionality! Time to make everything FUN and BRIGHT! And SIMPLE. Also users need to be drip-fed every single piece of content." Ok, granted, modern software (for multiple reasons that touch multiple levels) has given us the attention span of a stick of butter with a concussion. But people don't use social software because it's easy to use. That conversation is for the realms of, like, Microsoft Word and Canva and shit. People use Tumblr for the experience. Make improvements to the backend? Yeah, for sure. But it's worth noting that... hang on, let's do another bullet point for this one:

The people who have stayed on Tumblr + the people who have migrated here from other platforms have one core thing in common: we're here because Tumblr is NOT what other platforms ARE.

Ultimate point: if you're at the kind of crossroads Tumblr currently is, you have two options. 1) Commit to a significant revamp and hope for the best. Worth noting that this doesn't always end well. 2) Choose to build on the foundation of your strengths and weave onboarding into that experience for the benefit of all the new users you're anticipating.*

Basically, don't try to be everything to everyone. Be everything to the people who live here and to those who will discover this place and decide to stay. Design for your extant, potential, and above all viable userbase. Don't design for Chad Appman.

*And no, I don't mean 5 clicks of WalkMe or other guided walkthrough; I also don't mean a dissertation on Tumblr use and etiquette. I mean (as others have said before) exhume the FAQ and Frankenstein that shit back to life, give a newbie some optional screenshots/infographics and maybe a video or three. Improve the launchpad. As you've said before, @staff, Tumby is about discovery.

source: years of frontend software design, tech support, onboarding, quality and community management, technical writing, and fighting for user-centric design rooted in accessibility principles

the "tumblr is hard to use 🥺" comment from staff is so funny bc like. its not untrue. but the solution isnt to make everything algorithmic, its to stop hiding the FAQ pages deep inside the site. just like. explain shit to new users. a concept. also obviously just fix the search function

I'm preserving some of @cozylittleartblog's original tags below:

There are lots of rules and various schools of thought around UI/UX, which tell designers how to make interfaces designed around the capabilities of the website and the behavior of the userbasr. However, nearly nobody uses them in practice. UI/UX is thus very often a clownshoes operation.

Firstly, it's always easier and cheaper to promote people who know the tools to design your website internally, rather than hire an outside designer with experience and qualifications. Secondly, companies are myopic. This means even if a proper designer was hired in the beginning they were likely a temporary hire, and it's unlikely that their customized design guidelines will be adhered to years after they are gone from the company. And lastly, a website is not the product the social media company is selling, it's selling the users. The UX being shitty to the user is a secondary concern compared to whether or not the UX can make money off the user (and also minimize losses). Look up Dark Patterns.
