Designing Beyond Aesthetics: The Importance of User-Centered UI/UX

Welcome to a world where design goes beyond just looking pretty. In an era dominated by technology, user-centered UI/UX holds the key to unlocking a seamless and immersive experience for every digital interaction. Gone are the days when aesthetics alone could captivate users; now, it’s all about understanding their needs and crafting interfaces that effortlessly cater to them.

Join us on this enlightening journey as we delve into the importance of designing with users at the forefront – get ready to witness how thoughtful design can transform mere interactions into unforgettable experiences.

Introduction to UI/UX Design

User experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design are important considerations for any product, but they are especially critical for web and mobile applications. A good UX can make the difference between a successful app and one that fails to attract users. Likewise, a well-designed UI can improve the usability of an app and make it more enjoyable to use.

When designing an app, it is important to keep the user in mind at all times. The goal should be to create an app that is easy to use and provides a great user experience. To do this, designers need to think about how users will interact with the app and what their needs are. They also need to consider how the UI will look and feel.

Aesthetics are important, but they should not be the only focus when designing an app. By keeping the user in mind, designers can create apps that are not only visually appealing but also easy to use and enjoyable to interact with.

User-Centered Design Principles

Designing a UI/UX that is both aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly can be a challenge. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the most important aspect of any design is how well it meets the needs of the users. With that in mind, here are some user-centered design principles to keep in mind when designing your next UI/UX:

Keep the user in mind at all times – The most important thing to remember when designing a UI/UX is that it must be designed with the user in mind. Everything from the layout to the color scheme should be chosen with the user’s needs and preferences in mind.

Make it easy to use – A good UI/UX will be intuitive and easy to use. Users should be able to navigate through your design easily and find what they are looking for without difficulty.

Keep it consistent – Consistency is key when it comes to design. Inconsistent elements can confuse users and make your design look sloppy. Stick to a consistent layout, color scheme, and typography throughout your design for a polished look.

Test, test, test! – Always test your design with real users before launch. This will help you identify any areas that need improvement and make sure that your final product is as user-friendly as possible.

Make it accessible – Accessibility is an important part of any design. Make sure your UI/UX is accessible to users who may have disabilities or other impairments. This can be done by making sure that all elements are easily scannable and that the colors used are high contrast for maximum visibility.

The Role of Aesthetics and Visuals in UI/UX Design

Aesthetics and visuals are important elements in UI/UX design, but they are not the only elements. User-centered design focuses on the needs of the user first and foremost. This means that designers must take into account the user’s goals, tasks, and workflow when designing the interface.

Aesthetics are important because they can influence the user’s first impression of the interface. The visuals must be pleasing to the eye and help guide the user’s attention to the most important elements on the screen. But ultimately, it is more important that the interface is easy to use and helps the user accomplish their goals.

Designers must strike a balance between form and function when creating an effective UI/UX design. A beautiful interface that is difficult to use will frustrate users and ultimately fail. On the other hand, an ugly interface that is easy to use can be successful if it meets the needs of its users.

Techniques for Usability Testing

User-centered design is a process that helps ensure that the products we design meet the needs of the people who will use them. One important part of user-centered design is usability testing, which helps us understand how people interact with our designs and identify areas for improvement.

There are many different techniques that can be used for usability testing. Some common methods include:

Task-based usability testing: In this type of test, participants are asked to complete specific tasks using the product under test. This allows us to see how well users are able to accomplish their goals and identify any areas of confusion or difficulty.

2. Eyetracking: Eyetracking involves using special equipment to track where users look while they are using a product. This can help us understand what parts of the design are attracting attention and identify areas that may need further refinement.

Clickstream analysis: Clickstream analysis involves tracking the sequence of clicks made by users as they navigate through a product. This can help us understand how users interact with the design and identify areas where they may get lost or confused.

Survey research: Survey research involves asking users questions about their experience with a product. This can be done either before or after using the product, and it can help us gather valuable feedback about what works well and what could be improved .

Interviews: Interviews provide a more in-depth look into users’ experiences with a product and can help us understand underlying motivations and behaviors.

Focus groups: Focus groups involve bringing a group of people together to discuss their experiences with a product in an open and interactive environment. This can be useful for gathering feedback on large designs or complex products.

Prototype testing: Prototype testing involves having users interact with early versions of a product before it is released, allowing designers to quickly identify areas that need refinement before launch.

Accessibility and Responsive Design Considerations

When it comes to user-centered UI/UX design, accessibility and responsive design considerations are extremely important. After all, if your site or app isn’t accessible to users with disabilities, or doesn’t look good on different screen sizes, you’re not going to meet their needs.

Here are some key things to keep in mind when designing for accessibility and responsiveness:

• Use clear and concise text that can be easily read by everyone, regardless of their disability.

• Make sure your site can be navigated using a keyboard or other assistive technology.

• Design your site so that it looks good on all screen sizes, from mobile devices to desktop computers.

• Pay attention to color contrasts and make sure your text is visible against any background color.

By keeping these considerations in mind, you can ensure that your UI/UX designs are truly user-centered and meet the needs of all your users.

Tips for Creating Intuitive Experiences with UI/UX Design

As a UI/UX designer, it is important to create intuitive experiences for users. Here are some tips to help you achieve this:

1. Keep the user in mind at all times – When designing your UI/UX, always keep the user in mind. What do they need? What do they want? How can you make their experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible?

Use familiar design patterns – Don’t try to reinvent the wheel when it comes to design patterns. Instead, use familiar patterns that users will be able to understand and navigate easily.

Make use of negative space – Use negative space in your designs to help guide the user’s eye and create a more intuitive experience.

Use color carefully – Color can be a powerful tool in user-centered UI/UX design, but it should be used carefully so as not to overwhelm users or create confusion.

Use fonts judiciously – As with color, fonts should be used judiciously in order to create an easy-to-read and intuitive experience for users.

Conclusion

To sum up, user-centered UI/UX design is an essential part of any digital product development process. It helps ensure that users have positive experiences when interacting with a website or app and it can help increase customer loyalty and satisfaction. By putting the user at the center of your design decisions, you will be able to create products that look great but also offer useful functionality. As designers, we should never forget our ultimate goal: creating exceptional experiences for all users!

In regards to the new desktop layout just as a follow-up to the initial shock to expand on some of my points/reactions:

obviously your mileage is gonna vary in regards to how it fits on your screen, depending on your use case, window size/position, and the resolution of your monitor. i have a 4K monitor with decently small text scaling so i'm able to fit a lot of stuff on my screen on most sites save for like Twitter and now Tumblr, because a lot of sites at least scale somewhat alright even if they don't make the most use of the screen space. i assume this is a case of this update being SUPER half baked and not thoroughly developed before rollout. i mean look at how many UI redundancies it introduces to the account page. this is... not a finished product! at least i sure hope it wouldn't be!!!

so that to say: i've seen some people post images of the new update where it looks like, mostly okay in terms of space efficiency. the issue of wasted space then is not necessarily an issue of the layout itself, but more a disregard for how it should scale properly to different resolutions. which is super super important to figure out especially nowadays as there is a LARGE variety of screen resolutions out there in regular rotation.

also ultimately my take from the perspective of a web designer is...... not to be trusted, as I am not a web designer LOL. i am an entertainer and i use this site primarily as a consumer. but like.... sincerely, the old UI was not perfect but this is not addressing any of that. it's just a distraction and a seemingly clear attempt to copy the UI design of Twitter as that platform continues to push its userbase away. which is a really weird choice!!! because these websites are not good at the same things! and tumblr sincerely needs to stop trying to make them good at the same things! that's not why i'm here!

The more persistent control you have over a device, the more you and the device adapt to each other, becoming a more effective group organism. The higher the input and output bandwidth of the interface (i.e., the greater the number of distinct ways you can interact with it / it can respond to you), the faster the system can adapt.

So, the horse metaphor makes perfect sense: your desktop ships with a real keyboard on which you can probably do 300 WPM without blocking part of the display, and has a display that can hold half a dozen legible non-overlapping windows. If you have a screwdriver, you can open it up and replace basically any part. Even without a screwdriver, you can generally out of the box persistently dramatically change the UI settings to fit the needs of your environment (light vs dark mode, font size and style). You can stick linux on & that opens up a lot more. On a desktop computer, it's possible for a motivated 10 year old of average intelligence to progress from normal computer use to writing non-trivial application software for their own use within a couple years -- I am proof, & I'm far from alone.

Tablets are on the opposite end of the spectrum: simplified, locked down. The user does not collaborate with the tablet; instead, the tablet has only those affordances that channel the user's behavior into habits the developers of the tablet software consider desirable.

Mobile & web achieved the dream of proprietary software people: user-facing software that the user can't even disassemble because the important parts aren't accessible; since they did this through physical distance rather than the legal system, they can profit from other people's open source software too, circumventing many of the restrictions intended to keep improvements folded back into the community or to limit commercial use. But the side effect of this is that it gives professional computer touchers much more control over regular people's computers: not only can you not fix bugs in someone else's web app yourself, but you can't refuse to upgrade to a version that's a worse fit for your purposes. Where desktop computing encouraged the development of communities of amateur computer hobbyists who, together, would adapt or create alternatives to things that didn't work right (as well as creating lots of interesting, funny, unnecessary stuff that can only be classified as Art -- little games and toys, elaborate shitposts, weird mods and skins), mobile does not. The only thing you need to make your desktop computer do something brand new is a desktop computer, the software development tools & documentation that ship with the OS, and some free time -- you don't even need an internet connection; developing for web or mobile also functionally requires a desktop, on top of your mobile device for mobile (and if it's an iPhone you gotta have a Mac & pay Apple $99/year), & for web you need to pay for hosting and a domain name.

Mini React.js Tips #3 | Resources ✨

Continuing the #mini react tips series, its components making time~!

In React, a component is like a Lego brick for building websites or apps. It's a small, independent part of the user interface (UI) that you can reuse whenever you need it. These components can be combined to create bigger and more complex applications. Examples are the header, footer, cards, asides, etc!

What you'll need:

know how to create a React project >> click

know the default React project's file structure >> click

know basic HTML

know basic JavaScript

basic knowledge of using the Terminal

What We Are Creating:

The footer at the bottom!

[ 1 ] Navigate to the 'src' Folder: Open your project in Visual Studio Code, locate the 'src' folder, and right-click on it.

[ 2 ] Create a New File: Click 'New File' to create the file within the 'src' folder. This file will house the code for your React component.

[ 3 ] Naming Conventions: Give your component a name, according to the convention of starting with a capital letter. This naming convention is essential for React to recognize your component~!!

[ 4 ] Create The Initial Function: Open the file and type:

export default function [name of component]() {}

[ 5 ] Insert The return() Statement: The statement is used within a component to specify what content should be rendered when the component is invoked or used. Type:

return()

*the error is there because we haven't added anything inside yet, don't worry!

[ 6 ] Insert The Empty Tags: Inside of the return(), add empty tags (tags that don't have a specified element inside of them).

[ 7 ] Time For Some HTML: Inside the empty tags, enter the normal HTML elements that you want~!

[ 8 ] Integration with App.jsx: Navigate to the 'App.jsx' file in the project, which is typically the entry point of your React application. At the top, import your newly created component. Type:

import [name of component] from './[location of the component]'

[ 9 ] Use Your Component: Inside the return() statement of the 'App()' function, include your component using the following syntax:

<[name of your component] />

Understanding Full Stack Development

What is Full Stack Development?

Full Stack Development involves working on both the front-end (client-side) and back-end (server-side) of web applications. Full stack developers handle everything from designing the user interface (UI) to managing databases and server logic. They are versatile professionals who can oversee a project from start to finish.

Key Skills Required for Full Stack Development

To become a full stack developer, you need a diverse set of skills, including:

Front-End Technologies: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are the fundamental building blocks of web development. Additionally, proficiency in front-end frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js is crucial for creating dynamic and responsive web interfaces.

Back-End Technologies: Understanding back-end programming languages like Node.js, Python, Ruby, Java, or PHP is essential for server-side development. Additionally, knowledge of frameworks like Express.js, Django, or Spring can help streamline development processes.

Databases: Full stack developers must know how to work with both SQL (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (e.g., MongoDB) databases.

Version Control and Collaboration: Proficiency in tools like Git, GitHub, and agile methodologies is important for working in a collaborative environment.

Job Opportunities in Full Stack Development

Full stack developers are in high demand due to their versatility. Companies often prefer professionals who can handle both front-end and back-end tasks, making them valuable assets in any development team. Full stack developers can work in:

Versatility: You can switch between front-end and back-end tasks, giving you a holistic understanding of how applications work.

Creativity: If you enjoy creating visually appealing interfaces while also solving complex back-end problems, full stack development allows you to engage both creative and logical thinking.

Salary: Full stack developers typically enjoy competitive salaries due to their wide skill set and ability to handle various tasks.

Understanding Software Testing

What is Software Testing?

Software Testing is the process of evaluating and verifying that a software product or application is free of defects, meets specified requirements, and functions as expected. Testers ensure the quality and reliability of software by conducting both manual and automated tests.

Key Skills Required for Software Testing

To succeed in software testing, you need to develop the following skills:

Manual Testing: Knowledge of testing techniques, understanding different testing types (unit, integration, system, UAT, etc.), and the ability to write test cases are fundamental for manual testing.

Automated Testing: Proficiency in tools like Selenium, JUnit, TestNG, or Cucumber is essential for automating repetitive test scenarios and improving efficiency.

Attention to Detail: Testers must have a keen eye for identifying potential issues, bugs, and vulnerabilities in software systems.

Scripting Knowledge: Basic programming skills in languages like Java, Python, or JavaScript are necessary to write and maintain test scripts for automated testing.

Job Opportunities in Software Testing

As the demand for high-quality software increases, so does the need for skilled software testers. Companies are investing heavily in testing to ensure that their products perform optimally in the competitive market. Software testers can work in:

Manual Testing

Automated Testing

Quality Assurance (QA) Engineering

Test Automation Development

With the rise of Agile and DevOps methodologies, the role of testers has become even more critical. Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines rely on automated testing to deliver reliable software faster.

Benefits of Choosing Software Testing

Job Security: With software quality being paramount, skilled testers are in high demand, and the need for testing professionals will only continue to grow.

Quality Assurance: If you have a knack for perfection and enjoy ensuring that software works flawlessly, testing could be a satisfying career.

What’s new in React?

React is a continuously evolving library in the ever-changing web development landscape. As you embark on your journey to learn and master React, it’s important to understand the evolution of the library and its updates over time.

One of the advantages of React is that its core API has remained relatively stable in recent years. This provides a sense of continuity and allows developers to leverage their knowledge from previous versions. The conceptual foundation of React has remained intact, meaning that the skills acquired three or five years ago can still be applied today. Let’s take a step back and trace the history of React from its early versions to the recent ones. From React 0.x to React 18, numerous pivotal changes and enhancements have been made as follows: 1. React 0.14: In this version, the introduction of functional components allowed developers to utilize functions as components, simplifying the creation of basic UI elements. At that time, no one knew that now we would write only functional components and almost completely abandon class-based components.

2. React 15: With a new versioning scheme, the next update of React 15 brought a complete overhaul of the internal architecture, resulting in improved performance and stability.

3. React 16: This version, however, stands as one of the most notable releases in React’s history. It introduced hooks,a revolutionary concept that enables developers to use state and other React features without the need for class components. Hooks make code simpler and more readable, transforming the way developers write components.Additionally, React 16 introduced Fiber, a new reconciliation mechanism that significantly improved performance, especially when dealing with animations and complex UI structures.

4. React 17: This version focused on updating and maintaining compatibility with previous versions. It introduced a new JSX transform system.

5. React 18: This is the latest stable release, which continues the trajectory of improvement and emphasizes performance enhancements and additional features, such as the automatic batching of renders, state transitions, server components, and streaming server-side rendering.

Setting up a new React project There are several ways to create a React project when you are getting started. In this section, let's explore three common approaches: • Using web bundlers • Using frameworks • Using an online code editor

Using web bundlers Using a web bundler is an efficient way to create React projects, especially if you are building a Single-Page Application (SPA). Vite is known for its remarkable speed and ease of setup and use.

Using frameworks For real-world and commercial projects, it is recommended to use frameworks built on top of React. These frameworks provide additional features out of the box, such as routing and asset management (images, SVG files, fonts, etc.). They also guide you in organizing your project structure effectively, as frameworks often enforce specific file organization rules. Some popular React frameworks include Next.js, Gatsby, and Remix.

Online code editors Online code editors combine the advantages of web bundlers and frameworks but allow you to set up your React development environment in the cloud or right inside of the browser. This eliminates the need to install anything on your machine and lets you write and explore React code directly in your browser. While there are various online code editors available, some of the most popular options include CodeSandbox, StackBlitz, and Replit. These platforms provide a user-friendly interface and allow you to create, share, and collaborate on React projects without any local setup.To get started with an online code editor, you don’t even need an account. Simply follow this link on your browser:(https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/react-new?utm_source=dotnew). In a few seconds, you will see that CodeSandbox is ready to work with a template project, and a live preview of the editor is available directly in the browser tab. If you want to save your changes, then you need to create an account.Using online code editors is a convenient way to learn and experiment with React, especially if you prefer a browser-based development environment.

Make your Android app accessible to users with disabilities by adhering to accessibility guidelines.  Provide alternative text for images, support screen readers, and use colour contrast appropriately to ensure inclusivity and a positive user experience for all users.

 13. Optimize App Size:

Large app sizes can deter users from downloading and installing your application.  Optimize your app's size by eliminating unused resources, compressing images, and utilizing Android App Bundles to deliver optimized APKs based on device configurations.

 14. Implement Offline Support:

Provide offline capabilities in your app to ensure users can access essential features and content even when offline.  Implement local caching, synchronize data in the background, and notify users of limited or no connectivity to deliver a seamless user experience.

 15. Implement Analytics and Crash Reporting:

Integrate analytics and crash reporting tools, such as Google Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics, to gain insights into user behaviour, identify areas for improvement, and address crashes promptly. This data-driven approach helps in refining your app's performance and user engagement.

 16. Keep Up with Android OS Updates:

Stay up to date with the latest Android OS updates, new APIs, and platform features.  Regularly update your app to leverage new functionalities, enhance performance, and ensure compatibility with newer devices.

Predicting and programming: enemies for life (part 2)

Day 42 - Dec 17th, 12.023

This is the direct continuation of yesterday's post. I hope that I'm able to continue my daily journals as usual, but there's a strong possibility that one day or another I will not able to post, or need to post after midnight. Also, the entries probably will be shorter or just small updates sometimes even on weekends, but I will try to write them on the morning to be able to have time and brain to do something bigger and with better quality. And some posts I could even need to split into two if I need to stop writing one in the middle, like what's happened yesterday. There's no need to go into details, I don't want to expose my personal life nor of the people around me, I just want to inform that this end of year is not being great to my partner, so I want to be with her as much as I can to help and support her to whatever she needs to.

"A ghostly server"

Like I said in the last part, the application was complaining about not having a server, and the stranger, it was complaining about not having the development server running. This as a production build of the application, the embedded web-app were a static one, a static HTML file, why was it complaining about the server!? I tried searching around the Tauri's GitHub issues, but there was nothing about it, and creating an issue wasn't in my mind at the time because again, I am short in time and couldn't wait for a fix.

So because Tauri wasn't working, and I didn't even want to think about how to fix this problem, I switched back to CapacitorJS. This process was somewhat easy, because both of them are a "wrapper", so I just needed to move the web app part of the application from a template to another, but it was somewhat time-consuming (I'm not so accustomed to Vim and my new file explorer, so navigating was somewhat slower, and like every JavaScript project, just setting it up a template can be time-consuming). But after setting it up, Capacitor compiled, and the app was working as normal without any differences.

Framework hopping

While that was happening, when I started the project, I also wasted a lot of time choosing what framework to use. "Why?" One, JavaScript is an ecosystem that in general can be somewhat overwhelming with choices; Two, I already used SvelteKit for my last application and projects, so this time I wanted something different; Three, I wanted to try something more "native-like".

Web as Native

I started trying to use Framework7, because it has a collection of components and routing that emulates the native-app experience, and most important to me, it had the updated Material Design 3 (Material You) design; with Svelte, my primary UI framework of choice. But it didn't work that well. The routing wasn't how I liked it to be, and Framework7 is a somewhat old framework as it seems (it uses Gulp as its build system and the last commits were a month ago, the project is not that active), it stills a great project, but somewhat difficult to integrate with newer thing like Svelte 4 and Vite. After not being able to, I tried to KonstaUI with Svelte, but ended up with the same results. If you know something about this area of trying to make web apps feel like a native app, you are probably thinking something like "why you didn't use Ionic?", and the main reason is that it stills uses Material Design 2, and personally I like more how the newer version looks. Also, Ionic doesn't have official support for Svelte, and even knowing that the community package is good, I already used it in the past and wanted something new to try.

So, after probably hours, if not a day, trying that, I hopped into another idea. I found something called Beer CSS, a library that creates a Material You look and app using just CSS pretty much, so I could use any framework that I liked! Nonetheless, because it was pure JS and CSS, I thought it would be good to use Astro, so I could also take advantage of its new View Transitions feature, and could use Svelte still for the interactivity blocks. But as you can already tell if you know Astro, it's probably not the best idea to use a static site generator (SSG) as a mobile application framework, however it was working, and I was being able to create something and actually develop the application part of things and not just continue setting up new projects.

Lack of documentation

But then some cracks started to open. Beer CSS's documentation is not the greatest for me, it's mostly code examples and there's pretty much no words about customization and how the CSS words and/or how to manipulate it, and it seems that you really need to follow Material's system and hierarchy to it to work properly. I don't have time for this, and I already wasted 2 to 3 days fighting my way around all of this.

Also, while this was happening, the problem with Tauri also happened, which for some reason also made me switch from Astro to SvelteKit. Why? I don't know really, for me the problem with the server could be related to it, but of course it didn't work, and I had to switch to Capacitor like I said.

Blank screen and broken dreams

And then, another problem appeared out of nowhere, the built app with CapacitorJS started to have a total black screen when I opened it. There were no errors in the console, warnings on the screen, nothing, the app simply stopped working, and I couldn't find anything about it on the issues, and being honest, at this point I had already wasted around a week and couldn't handle it anymore. The idea of not being able to give at least something in time was storming my mind and I ended up wasting another day procrastinating, because I couldn't handle and think of solutions.

I had so many ideas for this app and now everything stopped working, I was exhausted, this was supposed to be something special for my girlfriend, and I don't want to lose the date again, even more now when she's passing difficult times in her life. I need to do and try something.

Compromises

This is where I am right now. I have less than a week to finish this project, and the app itself is way unfinished than I anticipated it would be days ago. So, what we do when this happens? Compromises, I already had in mind that I would create just some features until the date and then update over time, but now it will be just one feature and as an online website for now.

One of the features of this app is an interactive messaging page, to give complements and things like that, but for now I will try to repurpose it to some predefined messages and just express out of my heart to her using it. Do I want to be simple as that? No, but it only what I can do for now, and hopefully I will be able to add more things as time passes, I really want to do something special and specific for my girlfriend. Thankfully, porting it to a native app in the future won't be so hard, and I already have some ideas now on how to fix the past bugs that impossibilitaded me from porting it, however I will try to focus more on the features themselves for now.

Knowing my girlfriend, she will understand, but again, it's more of me to her thing in my mind.
