Ask HN: Good resources to learn about design, UI, UX?
I often see comments about how libre and open source applications are ugly or are poorly designed (from a human interaction perspective).
What would you (or the design team in your company) recommend reading to better address this? I'm looking for anything:
- books about general design concepts to keep in mind when building something (preferably computer software)
- best practices in terms of UI/UX
- good guidelines from existing projects
Thanks!
- ljoshua 8y agoI’d highly recommend the Refactoring UI book: https://refactoringui.com/book/ https://refactoringui.com/book/ I’ve gained a ton from the principles laid out in it, and it’s geared more towards the non-designer (think: engineer) which is perfect.
