intricacies of my mind: gci is eliminating email soon. So I had some important accounts there and am working my way through two-step verifications, confirmations, and layers of accounts. Latest hitch is that Kanopy (films through my public library) has an app that shows the contact email, but the account details are editable on the website only. Oh, well, pleasant evening activity. #Alaska #UserInterfaces

Computers used to be so easy. The screen would give you a menu of options; you picked one using the keyboard. But then graphical interfaces came along and made things more complicated, especially for screen reader users.

What if any modern e-commerce website could be accessed using a simple menu interface? This is the dream of researcher David Cane.

Some of the most popular text formats for describing user interfaces are XML-based. HTML and CSS for web, XML under the hood of Interface Builder in Xcode, same with Android if I’m not mistaken.

But what is the best format to read and understand? Are there more expressive and instinctively understandable formats?

Is it a kind of ASCII art drawing where blocks should be and what they should look like?

Few days ago I saw one of the programs my father has written for work.
It seems that the inability to #design #userinterfaces is genetically hereditary.

"In Create Graphical User Interfaces with Python, Laura and Martin show you how to add buttons, boxes, pictures, colours, and more to your Python programs using the guizero library, which is easy to use and accessible for all, no matter your Python skills.

This new 156-page book is suitable for everyone — from beginners to experienced Python programmers — who wants to explore graphical user interfaces (GUIs)."

Interesting perspective on Emacs.

"Emacs is the only serious program I know which manages to be truely user interface independent, in addition to being platform-independent."
