This is why I wish software in general - especially tools - was more configurable.
The more users are able to alter UI/UX, the more they can tailor it to their use case.
There has been so much focus on consistency in UI/UX that we have thrown customization right out the window.
Consistency is valuable, but I think we ought to move its focus away from UI/UX, and down one rung on the ladder of abstraction: to functionality.
We could also make an effort to move UI/UX one rung up the ladder of abstraction, and have a high-level interface for discreet functionalities. This is something that isn't tried often, but seems to work out well when it is.
- kohtatsu 7y agoDo you have any examples?
- thomastjeffery 7y agobash, or any other shell. In a shell, you can set aliases, and even create intermediate functionality to interface with. You can even write software that works as a front end for your shell. The shell is so far removed from functionality, it hardly implements any at all. Instead, it uses entirely separate programs by providing the user a consistent and configurable interface to those programs.
