@danhunsaker:matrix.org | So. Why does FLOSS need to persist with such shit UX? | 00:11:02 |
@xincognito10:matrix.org | Cuz, all the DEs and toolkits can't take their heads out of their ass long enough to shut up their ego and work together on building a decent one | 00:17:14 |
@xincognito10:matrix.org | Same with pretty much every other part of linux | 00:17:20 |
@danhunsaker:matrix.org | Ok, but I'm talking more about individual tools and projects entirely unrelated to DEs... I use plenty of freeware on my Linux system that relies on the toolkits, and not only do they look good (good UI), they're usable (good UX). | 00:20:11 |
@danhunsaker:matrix.org | And really, I care more about the UX, generally speaking, than the UI, anyway. | 00:20:44 |
@danhunsaker:matrix.org | If I have to dig through three different screens to find a room ID, for example, then backtrack out of those screens to get back to the room itself, then backtrack to the main screen before I can switch rooms to paste the ID there... For one example. | 00:22:31 |
@xincognito10:matrix.org | Yeah | 00:28:55 |
@xincognito10:matrix.org | I guess its cuz of the culture | 00:29:13 |
@xincognito10:matrix.org | With proprietary apps, you have a customer that you depend on to make money. | 00:29:45 |
@xincognito10:matrix.org | So if you're going to design an app, you better be damn well sure its easy to use | 00:30:19 |
@xincognito10:matrix.org | Also, those apps were designed specifically to be used by users | 00:30:33 |
@xincognito10:matrix.org | In the floss world, its more along the lines of devs creating something for themselves, and deciding to share it, and because most of the floss communities are techies too, the apps are more focused on getting the job done, rather than uiux | 00:31:43 |
@danhunsaker:matrix.org | I mean, I guess? But when I build stuff for _my_self, I make sure I'm not gonna hate actually using it... | 03:34:43 |
