Thanks for this Shaun,
Fascinating read. Did you know that Tantek (unless there's another Tantek around) was also on the IE 5.x for Mac dev team? verdon On 13-Mar-07, at 9:39 AM, Shaun Murray wrote: > Since we've been doing a fair amount of UI redesign and rethinking > lately, this blog post by Tantek (of Microformat fame) seemed timely > > For your coffee break reading... > > http://tantek.com/log/2007/02.html#d19t1813 > > > > Shaun > aegis design - http://www.aegisdesign.co.uk > aegis hosting - http://www.aegishosting.co.uk > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > --- > Take Surveys.

It was a good article but I felt it was repeating the obvious: try not
to make your interface complicated. He might as well write "Preventing Syntax Errors: Your Guide to Program Popularity!" I don't think anyone sets out to make a complicated interface (except for the people who write Banner). I set out with a goal and the interface "happens." Sometimes, I misjudge the simplicity for others. For example, some people think text messaging is great. I think it is ridiculous. To me its a step backwards. And just because something is easier and similar, doesn't mean it fulfills the same purpose as the original. The writer failed to mention how much more complicated instant messaging is if the recipient isn't online and if you need to read the message again later. Email is better in this capacity. Not to demean the article but as features accumulate and man-hours dwindle, form falls to functionality. And while I'm griping here, users, who learned to work around your earlier clunky interface, tend to balk at efforts to streamline future versions. Anyway, sorry to bitch Shaun and thanks for sharing the article. Matt On Wed, 2007-03-14 at 13:31 -0400, Verdon Vaillancourt wrote: > Thanks for this Shaun, > > Fascinating read.
