I'm a keyboard based UI lover, but I wonder if the supportive crowd is, and will ever, be too small.
Even crude AS400 days keyboard UIs were beyond nice. But then if people want to try and replicate emacs keymaps or vi command composition, better for the dozens of us. ^^
- gjvc 1mo agoonce again, I get to cite the IBM AS/400 CallPath system demonstrated here https://youtu.be/5pY6Xxptp9A?t=2083 https://youtu.be/5pY6Xxptp9A?t=2083 which almost brought a tear to at least one viewer's eye
- jnpnj 1mo agoPretty cool video. I would love to know more about the internal design of the as400 platform and how people thought and designed user interfaces. I can't shake the feeling that these interfaces are so lean they're satisfying. Also, I feel that a lot of interfaces today are wasting resources.
