The future of UI is text
- mijustin 11y agoI've been thinking a lot lately about the beauty and simplicity of the command-line's design. It has a lot less dependencies and complexity. Slack's command-line seems to have good discoverability and uptake: http://i.imgur.com/9UFHSAE.png http://i.imgur.com/9UFHSAE.png
- fredrivett 11y agoI'm a big fan of Slacks giphy integration (who isn't?) and I've finally gotten over my fear of the command line and been doing some git for the projects at work. At the start the blank screen is the biggest scare, not knowing the initial commands to get you around, but from then on it just gets better and better, I couldn't see myself ever going to a UI version of git now. I totally agree on the benefits of UI as text, but we'll need great ways to onboard people like giphys simple /giphy command. That'll be the key for me.
