What id love to see more is blurring the line between user and designer. Too often software gets in the way of the user and simple tweaking to an interface etc. can make a world of difference. Unfortunately this is usually either not possible or involves a user navigating endless configuration options or worse configuration files. Maybe that’s not a big deal to us in the software industry but it is a huge problem for your average user.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoI agree. There's no reason we can't have this, we've had tools like Delphi and VB for a long time now. Why can't I just choose widgets from a palette and make my own Outlook interface? Maybe it could even be taken a step further and turn it into a UNIX pipeline composition equivalent in GUI form. Trying to imagine what a system could look like, I see a kind of tiling window manager in which you can place arbitrary widgets (list views, sliders, text entry, etc) and hook together their inputs and outputs, maybe with a little scripting glue.
