"Your PyCharm subscription will auto-renew soon! Or you can renew it manually."

<go to renewal page>

<buy renewal>

<download new version>

<start new version>

"PyCharm has a brand-new UI!"

Totally flat, colourless design virtually barren of controls, i.e. absolutely useless in an advanced tool for technical work. FFS.

"But there's a plugin that restores the old UI!"

Well, thank fsck for that.

<enable old UI>

Ah...

(Seriously, UI designers: tools for engineers shouldn't try to look like phone apps or whatever else you're modelling your "no menus and almost no buttons and hey isn't negative space great in everything" designs on.)

Or donc, pour les 20 ans de l’association j’ai eu le plaisir de refondre le site de Paris Web cette année : paris-web.fr/

Y a pas, le temps passe et @ParisWeb reste LA conférence française sur les standards, l’accessibilité et la qualité. C’est un insigne honneur que d’y contribuer à ma modeste échelle, merci au staff pour la confiance. Et cette année c’est anniversaire : on s’y voit ? (c’est en septembre)

J’en cause un peu par là aussi : stpo.fr/portfolio/paris-web/

Mais quel magnifique web design.

Champagne ! Un an (!) plus tard, le site de La Hulotte, dont j’ai fait la DA et le design, est enfin en ligne : lahulotte.fr/

Je n’ai pas fait l’inté, mais le résultat est chouette ! (vous l’avez ?)
C’est un projet atypique que j’ai pris énormément de plaisir à accompagner, en collaboration avec une petite équipe familiale de passionnés (et surtout de passionnées d’ailleurs), pour qui le web n’était pas forcément une évidence. Vive la presse indépendante !

Le web design de la page d’accueil du nouveau site de La Hulotte.

I'm starting to get somewhere with my #foss #guile #scheme #web #ui #library #css #sxml

cozy and professional user-interfaces for everyone

hygge + guile = #hygguile

but still long ways to go until v1.0.0

codeberg.org/jjba23/hygguile

here my showcase live:
hygguile.jointhefreeworld.org/

it's beautiful how expressive #lisp is and how tree like data structures are best served in a s-expression language.

also available #guix declaration in repo for your convenience

@rakoo @cy yeah, tho @thunderbird nowadays has #OpenPGP / #GPG - support built in ( #Enigmail ) and that just works.

  • But @delta / #deltaChat does make things way easier for "#TechIlliterate #Normies" and provides them with a familiar #UI & #UX from other #Messengers whilst also not requiring "yet another #server / #service" to be spun up, which is a major no-no in many organizations, espechally #businesses.

  • Whereas DeltaChat using #eMail as it's backbone infrastructure works fine, and that is an important point for it like #business use [i.e. #Germany] where all business communications have to be archived for at least 10 years for tax auditability reasons, and the whole #MailArchival issue has been "solved" by multiple providers and solutions so it makes sense to just do a +chat suffix, filter said messages and have them in the same #inbox as all other eMails.

I just wished #Thunderbird would also support displaying such chats similar to deltaChat to provide a #unified experience across platforms...

@codeDude @cy well, I do.

@delta makes it jist easier for #normies and #TechIlliterates by presenting them with a #messenger-style #UI & #UX…

a federated autonomous zonejowek (@jowek@autonomous.zone)Attached: 1 image Finally took the time to try out Delta Chat. (https://delta.chat/en/) WOW. So smooth. Onboarding in 5 seconds and a small simple tools for organizing. This is what i been dreaming of as a community organizer. Yesterday i onboarded 20 people, half of them 70 years +. And everyone agreed: normally im critically of new tech, but this is amazing, surprisingly intuitive, and it just works. Thank you so much @delta@chaos.social and all the developers making the small handy apps. #deltachat

What I’ve heard:

Autocomplete
Autosuggest(ion)
Combo box
Search (suggestion) box

My thoughts:

1. “Search” is implied (it’s happening in real time)
2. “Combo” is ambiguous jargon
3. “Auto” is helpful
4. “Complete” and ”suggest” are interchangeable

“Autocomplete” is most common. But that’s an actual HTML attribute, so I don’t like it here.

Autosuggest is my preference. WITH single-select or multi-select as an important qualifier.

Autocomplete info:
developer.mozilla.org/en-US/do

The MDN Web Docs logo, featuring a blue accent color, displayed on a solid black background.
MDN Web DocsHTML attribute: autocomplete - HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDNThe HTML autocomplete attribute lets web developers specify what if any permission the user agent has to provide automated assistance in filling out form field values, as well as guidance to the browser as to the type of information expected in the field.

Curious what y’all call this type of form input. I have my own name (won’t share just yet as to not taint the answers), but I rarely find that everyone uses the same name for it.

While I’m primarily targeting UI designers/developers, I’m happy to see answers from anyone.

What do y’all call it?

HTML search input with a partially-typed phrase that reads “some information oth.” There is a typing cursor after the “h.” Below the input is a menu with a list of words that match the typed phrase, each extending beyond the input phrase to reveal the words “othello,” “other,” “othering,” and “otherworldly.”

Es ist schon „fies“ wie in #dotnetmaui manches in der #ui einfach anders reagiert. Da werden BoxView einfach mal nicht gezeichnet (k a warum), Abstände unter iOS zum unteren Rand passen nicht mehr (wegen SafeArea), Bindings an IsVisible oder IsEnabled sind nicht stabil weil Views vom Visual-Tree verschwinden oder ignoriert werden, CommunityToolkit Expander ist einfach mal nicht mehr animiert … und im Debugger bleibt die iOS App einfach mal so stehen (mind 3 issues bei GitHub) 😫

Hello #Inkscape friends! ^__^

Is it possible to change the edge / point that is scaled from and to when using the inputs in the top bar or the Transform tab?

It seems to always use the upper left corner, but e.g. Scribus / Illustrator have a function where you can change that, does this exist for Inkscape?

Tiny screenshot from Scribus' UI to change the „active corner“ (if that's what it's called): A Square with nine smaller squares on top if it so you can choose an active corner, edge or center that sizing and alignment operations are calculated from. In this case the upper right corner is active, so the square in that corner is bigger than the others.

are there any ‘good’ #WordPress + #WooCommerce self-host alts? 😩

i want to be rid of Automattic, but my options are limited on a shared server…

i _yearn_ for low maint & simplified UX

i'd like to attempt #ActivityPub WP integration but… spam, security, mgmt

Woo is bloated & the WP #UI / #UX continues to devolve

my ideal would be to nix all ecomm & have a gallery/art rep, but i could be delusional…

> i need art sales + social marketing <

not another barrier

Too many overflows reporting Gmail spam

shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/05/too-m

What does the humble ⋮ symbol mean to you?

To geeks, it is a compelling attraction. Something cool and esoteric lives in there! All sorts of goodies to explore and configure.

To normal people, it is invisible. Normal people don't go pushing random icons on their apps because computers are fragile and may break if you do the wrong thing.

To me, it is a sign that product managers are a menace and must be stopped. A hundred thousand icons vying for your attention have been stuffed away because no one has the authority to prioritise user needs.

As a | user who has received some spam

I want to | easily report it as spam

So that | Google's AI can become ever stronger my inbox is easier to manage

How do you report spam? On the web, it is possible if you're prepared to enter the forbidden lair of ⋮. Click the one nearest the message and you'll see:

But there is no "report spam" button in the Gmail app. Try to find it. I promise you it isn't there.

No, not even behind the door of mysteries which is ⋮. See:

Ah ha! FOOLISH USER!! You thought that you could transfer a mastered skill from one environment to another? You are an idiot. A buffoon. The Eloi at Google mock your Morlock ways.

Here is the report spam button in the Gmail app - hidden in the top ⋮ menu!

And, just for completeness, here's what the top ⋮ on the web has.

Why?!

Why do the Monkey-Punchers at Google have such scorn for its users? Is it because their illegal monopoly means they don't have to compete for users? Do their perverse internal politics only reward employees for adding features, not removing them? Perhaps the web team and the app team are engaged in holy war around a doctrinal schism over icon placement?

We may never know.

OK, but why?

Why do the overflows on the web have icons but on the Android app they're barren?

Why is the order of the options completely different on both?

Why are the names different for the same functions?

We can only assume that the web team are Montagues and the app team Capulets.

What is going on?

Moving a UI from the big screen to the small screen is difficult. Some options aren't relevant in either context. Some labels are too big. Some prioritisation needs to happen. I accept that.

But users only have limited cognitive plasticity. They have a mental model of how a UI works and they expect it to be reasonably consistent.

I keep making the same mistake. Whether I'm on the web or app, I always go to the wrong option! This makes me feel like an idiot. I have a hundred apps to use, each with subtly different UIs - I can't be expected to keep them all straight. But I do expect the a common set of paradigms if the services are under the auspices of a single company.

Why are there two ⋮ menu options? I think the top relates to the conversation whereas the second relates to the specific message? But maybe I'm wrong.

Two out of three ain't bad

I lied earlier. There's a third way to report spam.

On the web, hover over one of the mysterious small icons - the ones with ridiculously thin lines and low contrast - and you'll be rewarded with this:

Make it make sense!!
