#UX learning

[izicodes]

You're so right abt all these websites looking freaking the same. Too polished, corporate typa style bs. And it's not only websites, it's applicable to books too. Everything looks bland and the same. I honestly miss early 2000s style. I don't care if it was tacky or anything. At least they were interesting and each one was unique in it's own brand of quirk lol

Hiya! 💗

I agree! I love different styles shown in websites! Everything nowadays are following this trendy of "spacey subtle but a lot few colours" and they say it's all for user experience so I wonder is it the users' fault or are the designers just following a trend they got from another designer and so forth and not really what the user wants? I mean, I bet now the users who view the websites are noticing, like we have, that oh the same style again. I don't know as I'm not a UX/UI designer so I can't judge entirely but from a user perspective I am tired of websites all looking the same, I mean even those old government websites look better than this gradient spacey look that's going on.

But just as they're a trend, they will die out soon. I remember when glassompishm was super duper trendy, when I started learning how to code websites around 2021-2022, it was everywhere and now it's not as popular, I see less of it now, so we'll see what's next 🤞🏾

On that, this is why I like neocites with it's diversity and uniqueness! Also check out mine hehe~!

The plan: Introductory Post

Hello everyone!

I'm mostly writing this post to pin it to my blog page for those who visit.

The heart of this blog is tracking a website I will build from the ground up. This includes the front-end, back-end, UX/UI design, and any other planning/work that pops up.

For some context, around a year ago, I started practicing web development to make it my career. However, things turned out differently than expected. I got another job after having horrendous luck finding work. I really enjoy it, so it snuffed out my drive to find a career in web development.

However, I've always liked web development and programming in general. I've always wanted to use it, but I just didn't have any ideas I wanted to commit to. Now, I have a site that I feel I can turn into a full-fledged application, and I'd like to track it here for those interested and connect with others interested.

I've been on a six-month hiatus, so I'm pretty rusty, but I've decided I want to build the site using Svelte and Supabase. Svelte has always been the framework I wanted to learn, so this website is the perfect excuse. I also have experience with Firebase, but I wanted to challenge myself by learning Supabase. Most of my experience is with React and Next.js. I've used them for volunteer work and for freelancing gigs in the past.

I'll also give a brief summary of my website for common understanding. The MVP will start as a blog, but I plan to expand it to turn it into an informative database (sort of like Wikipedia) and have some interactive elements. I won't get into the meat of the idea, but that's what to expect with my posts. But before that, my posts will mostly be centered around a summary of my learning. Since I'm learning Svelte, my current posts will be based on that.

Thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to hearing your comments or insights moving forward! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

just got an idea. probably won't act on it

My first Tailwind Project⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

I thought Tailwind would be difficult and all but it's really just CSS. It gets a lot of hate sometimes but I think it's pretty cool and concise, though the large number of classes can get messy..But it's worth it!

Thanks to @izicodes and @lazar-codes I FINALLY got my Gitpages running so here's the link to the project.

I wanted to say one more thing...I've forgotten....ughhh (•-• )>

Aha, the project is a beginner challenge from frontmentor.io. Terrific website providing frontend projects for we who suck at design.

[madseance]

actually the desktop and mobile versions of your social media service should NOT be identical experiences, because one happens on a 1080p screen in landscape orientation that I use with a physical keyboard and trackpad or mouse, and the other goes on a portrait-oriented touchscreen I keep in my pocket. hope that helps

What part of UX is a concept old enough for there to be qualified professionals?

i'm going to assume you're asking this in good faith, so here's a fun fact! the concept of UX, or user experience design, is basically as old as the internet itself is. the NNg, or the nielsen norman group, who essentially invented the concept, were founded in 1998. obviously it took a while to catch on (😉) but the principles that jakob nielsen & don norman discussed 25 years ago are still as relevant to web design today as they were back then, and that's 25 years of people training and learning those principles, evolving them as the technology of The Internet™ evolves

personally i got my certification in UX two years ago (!!!) so i'm still learning a lot, but i do in fact do this Professionally, As A Literal Job, so i'm going to claim at least some amount of expertise when it comes to the UX of tumblr and how it can be way the fuck better
