Recommendations please for a good example of a #multilingual website. I mean "good" in the sense of its user experience. Many thanks.
One of my pet projects from 2014-2015 was a simple iPad calendar app where I experimented with various animations and interactions. It consisted of an endless scroll view with rows representing the days. Notice how the Today button appears on scrolling.
It was my first project written entirely in Swift. Many ideas from that concept then become part of Taskheat and then Subjects.
Sound waves? Radar beams? What exactly does this remind you of?

Float labels may put you in the cool club, but they’re terrible UX.
It’s much better if your input’s label:
1) is legible
2) is above the input
3) doesn’t move about
4) is not mistaken for an answer
Simple > clever

latest UI fail when buying groceries - go to pay (using Tap).
Tap with Card, and it doesn't work - with the very useful message "Error"
Tap again in a different place on the terminal (because there is no consistency between terminals) - another very useful message "Error"
The issue was the total was over $100 and if you are spending more than $100, you have to insert the card and use pin - tap isn't allowed.
"Error" maybe needs to be changed to reflect that issue.

The UX spidey-sense is a blessing and a curse. I'm happy I can make software a little less awful for people, but it means I'm the one who has to pay attention to the crud in the corners.
Like, in this dataviz tool, you can mouse over a segment of a stacked bar chart and get a popover with tabular data...but that popover scrolls...and it vanishes before you can mouse over it to scroll through said table...
How many font families do you use in one single app or website? I would say a maximum of three, better just one or two.
What’s your opinion?
The thing that's been bothering me in the default Mastodon UI is that I see too much information that is not needed. It's noisy.
For example, favorites and boosts don't need to have my own avatar or the action bar (why would I boost or fav my own post based on someone else's fav action, it makes no sense) and so on. Too much clutter.
The point there is to see who has favorited your post NOW and that's it.
On the left you see the original Mastodon UI, on the right #MastodonBirdUI. Less is more. #UIDesign #Design #WebDesign

Attention #recruiters: I’m looking for a new #uidesign #uiuxdesign #productdesign job. #freelance or #fulltime. #remotework or #relocation. Let's build #designsystems in #figma . Get in touch for portfolio access. Codywalton.com
I've been always attracted to beautiful things. I always list pros and cons in the things I use. I go through dozens of options.
The user interface has HUGE value for me and it can weigh so much it can even top some of the downsides. But even if ALL of the other features are fine and the UI is bad, I have no desire in using the software. It's just the way it is and I'm pretty sure bad UI is a big turn-off for most of the people. Who doesn't love nice looking things?
I would like to endorse other minor web apps in the #Fediverse, but most of them are full of UI glitches, are incomplete and downright buggy looking odd things.
From my designer point of view #Mastodon and #Pixelfed are the only effective ones, because they speak to people who are used to proper visual design language (read: Non-nerds, non-engineers, the regular people and design oriented people).
Things like #BookWyrm, #Lemmy, #Friendica and newer niche apps cause reactions like: "What is this?", they look like back end is fine but nobody is in charge of the design and the UI has no direction whatsoever. It's the general culprit in the programming world: A back end developer thinks everything is fine when we add a CSS framework and that's that.
If we just get the UI right everywhere, we get more people to the #Fediverse. I just wish there was more #CSS/design people willing to contribute. #UI #UIDesign

I keep getting quite a lot of positive feedback about my #MastodonBirdUI. Even @Gargron liked my post where I explained the design choices made. Thank you everyone so much about the input. I'm kinda surprised so many prefer mine over the default. I lost count in how many instances enabled it for all their users.
I've been thinking about rewriting the Mastodon base SCSS. I'm a CSS/SCSS guy after all. The new base framework would have
- CSS variables instead of SCSS variables with SCSS function modifications: Easier to manage
- Simpler style base: Less nesting, less hacks, less everything: Cleaner code
- Better and more efficient modularization
- Accessible and flexible SVG graphics instead of icon fonts like Font Awesome
However, it would be a lot of work. I created my version of the UI in a couple of weeks, then been improving it daily.
Worth noting is that not everyone prefers this choice of design as it's way too close to a site we all hate. That's why I'm afraid if I do all the work and send a PR, it would go in vain. It could still be a good start though.
I have high hopes for #Mastodon to improve the UI themselves and look forward to it to get better over time. I just have ideas. Will keep the choices open here.
