this is a good reminder as to how different visual and user experience design are. just because you can make a pretty design does not automatically qualify you to design useable software.
- nchlswu 15y agoThis may be a UX/Visual issue, but how is it a usability issue?
- Domenic_S 15y agoIt breaks discoverability by executing its action /during discovery/. Imagine if you, using a new web browser, clicked on the "File" menu to see what was there and instead of dropping down a menu, it opened a file browser. In the end not a life-changing or permanent problem, but bad usability problem. Also, usability is a subset of UX.
- bricestacey 15y agoI would agree with you, but this is a blog. You're taking it too seriously.
- jarek 15y agoFrom this very article it seems the author of the blog is taking its design pretty seriously. Why shouldn't we?
- nchlswu 15y agoI know usability is a subset of UX. Thanks for the explanation. Breaking discoverability makes sense re: usability.
