Website is superfast. Reason I usually go for the comments first on HN is exactly this: they're fast. THIS is notably different. On interfaces: It's not only the slowness of the software or machine we have to wait for, it's also the act of moving your limb that adds a delay. Navigating a button (mouse) adds more friction than having a shortcut (keyboard). It's a needless feedback loop. If you master your tool all menus should go away. People who live in the terminal know this. As a personal anecdote, I use custom rofi menus (think raycast for Linux) extensively for all kinds of interaction with data or file system (starting scripts, opening notes, renaming/moving files). It's notable how your interaction changes if you remove friction. Venerable tools in this vein: vim, i3, kitty (former tmux), ranger (on the brim), qutebrowser, visidata, nsxiv, sioyek, mpv... Essence of these tools is always this: move fast, select fast and efficiently, ability to launch your tool/script/function seamlessly. Be able to do it blindly. Prefer peripheral feedback. I wish more people saw what could be and built more bicycles for the mind.
