Yep. While there are only a few techniques I would use unchanged, the book's philosophy has been very formative. The focus on allowing users to form habits has particularly stuck with me as a principle with important non-obvious results (e.g. no adaptive menus).
- pavlov 6y agoIt’s also a principle that’s useful for resisting trend-based redesigns in SaaS products where users typically don’t have a choice of staying with the old design. Most web apps are the polar opposite of Raskin’s principles: highly modal screen-based UIs with low information density (because the designer loves airy padding and big fonts), constantly getting tinkered and unintentionally preventing habit formation.
