I'm a fan of first person sentences.
Do you want to quit?
> No. I'm still working!
> Yes. I'm done for now.
Especially in a mobile interface. The user is physically touching "I'm done for now"; it's a visceral interface; real hard to mess up unless some motility accident happens (like the phone slips)
- InCityDreams 4y agoPerfect. And standard practice would be... Do you want to quit? > No. I'm still working! > Yes. I'm done for now. ...until some twunt reverses the order of the answers. And others (about 35%) follow that, as a standard practise.
- fragmede 4y agoI disagree that it's visceral on mobile. First, close your eyes then toss your phone up in the air with a spin, catch it and try and then try and click on 'I'm done for now'. Feels exactly the same as "I'm still working!". "Visceral" should be reserved for things with physical buttons that make a satisfying ca-chunk and you're sure, blindfolded, that you didn't press the wrong one. Not slippery glass bricks.
- kristopolous 4y agoTotally agreed! I meant within the confinements of the reality presented. I try to reduce the abstractions without breaking conventions so much that it would increase confusion
