@samhenrigold if I ever become the CEO (goals) of a large company, I will go onto eBay with a budget of $40 per device and buy a computer for every developer. Biweekly, I will force them to use it for the work day.

sometimes its interesting to go into best buy to see what computers “normal” people are buying. making a slick Svelte app is fun and all on my M1 Pro but how much do i need to optimize my stuff for the majority of people using whatever $500 gets you from HP. we, as product makers, get swept up in the latest, shiniest thing & set our assumptions accordingly. “Well everyone’s at least on an M1 right” my brother in christ my mom just bought a Lenovo yesterday and it has a Celeron + 4GB memory

@samhenrigold I honestly don't think I know anyone outside the fedi who has purchased their own computer in the last decade. They're a thing your employer chooses and insists you have against your will.

@samhenrigold: the best place to visit would be Starbucks, a university campus (especially the study halls), or a co-working space. My family typically get laptops from Costco. And people also like buying stuff from Amazon. To be fair, I've been seeing a lot of desktop computers with at least 32 GiB of RAM. It doesn't help that I just graduated from uni.

Welcome back! This is our fourth design critique thread. Today, we're taking a #ThrowbackThursday look at iPhoto for iOS, launched in 2012. Despite its short lifespan, it delivered visual design craftsmanship in spades.
Lickability
To properly understand this app, we have to set the stage: 1. The iPad was brand new when iPhoto for iOS came out — March 2012. Less than two years after it launched. Apple was still producing tons of glossy iPad apps to position the iPad as a capable — but more personal — computing device. So in this time, we saw iPad versions of their most popular apps.

@lickability, in your research for this – once again – great thread, did you come across WWDC 2012 Session 243 “iPhoto for iOS – UI Progression and Animation Design”? (Could be where you have the graphics from.) Of the countless dub-dub videos I've seen, both live and on video, this stands out as one of the very best. Mind-blowing work! https://archive.org/details/wwdc-2012-sessions/%5B2012%5D+%5BSession+243%5D+iPhoto+for+iOS+-+UI+Progression+and+Animation+Design.mov

of all the big tech companies, amazon has far and away the worst and most hostile UX. constant upsells, dark patterns, total roach motel trying to delete your account or unsubscribe from prime, the app is clunky, recommendations are awful, visual design is cluttered.

@samhenrigold HAHAHA, love it. I started watching the video he made that Gruber linked to. His voice makes me think of Snow Leopard :)

lots of weird oversights while looking for a family member in the holocaust victim database. two highlights: 1. I, personally, would not design a system that assigns ID numbers to jewish people. 2. Who the fuck added Disqus in the record detail view. Who is expected to smash that thumbs up button on the death record for my great uncle

@samhenrigold sorry for necroposting but oh my god? this is so bad? why would you design a website like this and not hire any consultants for cultural sensitivity???

My dad used to have "Sent from my Atari 2600" as his signature
@tvler When that was first introduced, I changed mine to say "Sent from my Commodore 64"
I mean what's the point of a non-sequitur flex if its not saying something objectively cool?
