Nice Work · Hey designers, they’re gaslighting you. By Sara Wachter-Boettcher | Nice Work
Da unser Verein norden.social e.V. dieses Jahr Sponsor des #uxbarcamphb war, habe ich dort eine Session über #UX und dezentrale Plattformen gemacht.
Damit das nicht einfach verpufft, durfte ich meine Gedanken im Nachgang im offiziellen Blog der Veranstaltung zusammenfassen.

UX Barcamp Bremen - Das UX Barcamp in der Bremer Überseestadt. · Digitale Souveränität gestalten - UX Barcamp BremenUX jenseits von Plattformlogik Beim UX Camp Bremen 2025 war ich nicht nur als Besucher dabei, sondern auch als Vorstand des Vereins norden.social e.V. Wir haben das Barcamp in diesem Jahr unterstützt und ich habe die Gelegenheit genutzt, eine eigene Session anzubieten: Digitale Souveränität gestalten – UX jenseits der Plattformlogik Wie gehen wir als Designer:innen
J’en peux plus des articles « Les 10 meilleurs [insérer n’importe quel mot] en 2025 » rédigés avec les pieds pour générer du trafic.
Vous êtes donc officiellement ma nouvelle source de recommandations, bravo !
Aujourd’hui j’ai fort envie de larguer Figma, est-ce que quelqu’un·e a réussi la transition vers Penpot avec joie et succès ?
shine Bekommt ihr auch immer mal wieder Aufgabenbriefings, wo die Lösung schon festgeschrieben war?
Wie hoch war eure Erfolgsquote diese Lösung zu hinterfragen?
Mir helfen "User Journeys" oder Szenarien von Personen oder Personas, die ich vorbereitet, um die erwartete Lösung nochmals kritisch zu betrachten und auch meine Kritik gut transportieren zu können.
Was hilft euch?
L'autre jour, entretien d'embauche dans une grosse boîte pour un poste de designer, et dans la cour intérieure je vois ça. Je me demande qui a imaginé cette stèle, et pourquoi enfreindre a ce point une règle de base d'ergonomie pour la lisibilité. Si vous avez une théorie, je suis curieuse !
(Après je me suis perdue dans le parking pour trouver la sortie mal indiquée, je crois que je pourrais avoir des conseils à donner bien au-delà de l'ux des logiciels 
)

UX designers (which includes nearly anyone developing front-end code, whether it's in your job title or not), remember that real people will have to use your interface. It will affect them. It can have a serious impact on their quality of daily life.

Thanks for posting this. It’s interesting to see Raskin use ‘Humane’ to describe his user intereface vision in his then forthcoming book ‘The Humane Interface’ (2000) — and again thank you for including the book’s #internetarchive link.

@atpfm There was a lot of consternation from John @siracusa about parts of the screen that were neither part of the active area nor outside the active area …
Yet this is not only part of the history of paper documents — margins on written pages, typeset books, and Microsoft Word — but it was always a part of computer display systems
(My first ever Wikipedia edit decades ago was for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overscan …)
The early text-mode displays always had an area of the active signal that was not used for data; when 8-bit gave way to 16-bit PCs like Commodore Amiga and Apple IIgs, this “border” area became controllable and a color could be selected (via text-mode BIOS-style settings, or graphic-mode Control Panels).
And all the way into the present day, even 15 years after the death of the CRT, video editing still enforces the concepts of Action Safe and Title Safe. Historically these were huge with CRTs at 5% and 10%, then got tweaked as aspect ratios changed, then thinned out as flat panels made screen geometry more predictable.
But it never went to zero — Title Safe in particular will never reach the edge of the display, and you will never find a logo (or watermark) touching the edge of the display.
However! You still have to DESIGN to the edges, or fill it with active signal. “Shoot and protect”, as they’d say in filmmaking.
You HAVE to put something in the edges, whether it’s an adjacent graphic extending from the inner areas to the ends, or just a piece of background vision.
This kind of “wasteful” image production is completely normal outside the computer Iindustry, and is in fact universally applied in every other industry. You MUST fill in more pixels that you’ll never use, and possibly never see, in any canvas containing graphic design.

@saramg Realized I effed up calling it a pump after the fact, but decided to let it ride.
It's amazing - I thot the geocities-era-esque design of #AAPS and #xdrip was solely the result of open-source software being robned of good #uxdesign by society, but now it appears there's actually a pre-existing corporate influence for it.
“We can’t let the ease of generation become a substitute for our better judgment. We can’t let groupthink dictate taste. We can’t let empathy get stripped from the process just because the output looks like a viable product to the loudest person in the room.”

UX Collective · This is not a pipe: UX, AI, and the risk of satisficed product design
The most customer-focused engineers and UX designers I've worked with don't really care that much about Design Systems.
The user and how tasks work for them are the number one priority. Even if it's inefficient, difficult, or more time consuming.
They still think in design systems, and modularity, and making things easier to build and design--but it's always second fiddle to what the software is actually able to do.
I think that's very right.
