Something I really hate about the UI on my phone, most of the setting shortcuts are toggle something on/off. Not so the notifications mode icon, which toggles from Noise to Vibrate to MUTE and /then/ back to noise.

This has caught me out repeatedly and added a not insignificant amount of stress to not only my life but people trying to get hold of me.

ap-components

I want to share some information about a repository we just published. ap-components is a set of Web Components for building interfaces for the ActivityPub API. I built it as I was making a sample application for handling the acct: URI scheme. I found myself making more and more components for the UI, and realised that they would probably be useful for other applications, too. The library is available on npm at @socialwebfoundation/ap-components. It currently covers some of the simplest […]

Another complete screw-up by EventBrite.

Last week I tried to reserve a ticket at an event and the "Reserve a place" button never showed up in either Firefox or Chrome on Linux.

It did in Chrome on Android on my phone.

Now I've tried to reserve a ticket for another event run by another organisation and I've had exactly the same symptoms.

EventBrite has one reason to exist, and they are complete screw-ups.

If you want reliable ticket and event management ...

Don't use EventBrite.

If you don't care about your users ... fine, do what you want.

@mike Who set up that webpage? It is not readable to me: light-grey font on white background. Why do think some designer/people that text has to be fashionable of the cost of readibility? Thanks, that I can read it in Reader Mode.
PS Since some years I notice that bad idea being "en vogue". (Even horrible: white font on black background.)
#UserInterface #accessibility

This is a very confusing password check message!

I use 1password to manage my passwords.

As usual, I used it to generate a password to sign up this service, but the new password was flagged. I thought the website was telling me that the check was failing because my password did not have a special character like a space, "<" or ">". It was actually the opposite.

It can be easily rephrased to say "Should not contain spaces, < or >".

:eyeroll:

An #accessiblity feature that I use regulary is the UI scaling in #TheSims4. Whenever I can, I will crank font size and / or UI size up to the max. ⬆️

More details in the following toot(s) 🦣

Do you know any other games that offer #UserInterface scaling? How do they deal with intersecting UI and UI that gets too big? Let me know, I am curious! 👀
