The Interface is Content User interfaces need to be improved — not removed

I just published a new essay: »The Interface is Content«.

In the essay, I argue that the user interface cannot be separated from the content. (And I make a fun analogy to typography!)

“Powered by SILICON at Stanford University, the Donald Knuth & Charles Bigelow UX Incubator seeks to address this gap by focusing on how User Experience (UX) design can better support diverse scripts, languages, and cultural ways of interacting with digital technology.”

“While thousands of languages and writing systems are used around the world, most digital products are still designed for only a small subset of them. As a result, many scripts and cultural contexts are poorly supported in apps, websites, and software interfaces.”

My Ubuntu Summit talk is up! Where I talk about:
1. How Desktop UX is effectively dead
2. Why I hate the term UX/UI with the heat of 1000 suns
3. How OSS can actually innovate in #ux

Der wahre Engpass: Warum schnelleres Coden Projekte nicht beschleunigt Der Flaschenhals in der Softwareentwicklung war nie das Programmieren, sondern das Verstehen des Problems. Über den unterschätzten ROI von Verständnis.

I am genuinely confident that Firefox will soon support cross document view transitions. That will make an enormous difference to overall compatibility.

Then it will also soon be possible to detect forward and backward directions without the History or Navigation API.

Oh, of course I don’t, if I use View Transition as an enhancement layer over existing navigation. I get that now. If only browser adoption was better…

Do I even need History API? 🤔

Through CSS View transition in combination with History API, I don’t need libraries like Barba or Swup anymore, BUT browser adoption is not great yet, right? Did I get this right, dev friends?

There’s quite a few free font sites that offered a free download of my Indicate Mono typeface without permission. Unexpectedly, they instantly took it offline right after contacting them. Pleasant surprise!
