@ilyabirman This is really cool. I like how it works with the city's shape and architecture, makes it more relatable than the usual straight lines.

Reversibility is a property of an interface input control, where the user can return the control to its initial state at any time. Or, more generally, where the user can freely switch between all available states. Detail and examples:

Often when we open an application, we see a screen that tells us about it or about some recently added features. The screen may consist of several pages that you have to flip through one by one. There may be a button to skip it all and go to the main interface of the application. This is commonly referred to as an onboarding screen. It is bad practice to do so. A long read in my blog:

@ilyabirman You missed the important thing I think: most of the onboarding screens try to sell me a subscription. Adv pushes paid features to the user
Lyosha Gornostaev
@ilyabirman I bet everyone would agree that onboarding screens are flawed as a concept, but it’s the only one that could be universally (as a pattern) applied to any app?

@ilyabirman @marcoarment The new login UI on macOS Sonoma is a perfect example of such bad design. Or should I say, of such sheer nonsense?

Check out the case about one of the stages in Chelyabinsk transit reform communication — route changes from January 1, 2022: A lot of neat posters, a template system, cartography standards, information planning, signs product design, and social media — all in three weeks.

Please welcome my second book, “Designing Transit Maps”. It’s a practical guide to transit map design and probably the most important work of my life so far. Read (and see) more in my blog:

@ilyabirman Looks amazing, and as a map nerd def. something I want to check out!! Is it possible to get it as a PDF, tho? I don't want to pay a subscription for a book, this puzzles me a bit 🤔

Are there any UX researchers among my readers? Here’s a question for you. What significant discovery have you made in your work? What hasn’t been written about in books yet, but you figured it out? What should designers know?
