Lemmy Finally feels usable! Thank you LJDawson
Yeah, but I’m using Sync exactly because I’m using Linux lol. Much more convenient and polished, and there’s no such thing as intuitive UI, there’s only UI you got used to.
That’s not true. Intuitive UI design is absolutely a thing, and something people spend a lot of time, effort and money researching and implementing…
Never seen an intuitive UI. Been on Linux since 2004, was working on company-provided Macbook and struggled with UI, was very happy to abandon it. I have Windows as a gaming OS, dual boot configuration with my Arch Linux, and let me tell you I game on Windows like twice a month, absurdity of this OS makes me not want to game.
For me the most intuitive UI is the one I built on Linux, with I3wm and a lot of custom scripts. This surely will not be intuitive for you.
Universally intuitive UI is a myth.
edit: UI designers, using right tools, definitely can and do make better UI, UI better suited for target audience, better working right out of the box. Keyword is “target audience”. One can’t say Windows UI is more intuitive, it’s UI a lot of people got used to. “Intuitive” has very different meaning AFAIK.
Intuitive means it makes sense instinctively. Touchscreens with pinch to zoom are a good example of intuitive UI design. Children can pick up an iPad and learn to use it quickly with no instruction. That’s intuitive design and of course it exists.
Is your custom script heavy system more efficient for your workflow? I’m sure, but picking it up out of the box it’s going to be horrible for a new user, they will be slow on it, it’ll be unenjoyable and annoying. That’s my point really, every Lemmy app I tried was unenjoyable and annoying. Sync on the other hand I have never used before, but out of the box? It works, I’m happy browsing with zero issues or errors or struggles within minutes. That’s intuitive design.
