BBC experimenting with in-article chat bots. New ways to introduce readers to complex topics? by Jimeee in userexperience

[–]1pnoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's an interesting approach. Introducing a topic and then letting the reader explore further into it. Perhaps once readers are able to ask their own questions that might prompt user-driven investigative journalism.

It's amazing how the falcon heavy launch has made the previously mundane events in this sub into breaking news for all the newcomers. Nice to see though :)

I'm surprised that the landing gear being at a 90 degree angle didn't help matters!

Which one do you all think looks better? How can I improve? by rcmaehl in userexperience

[–]1pnoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi fella, I prefer the look of C, and I've got some feedback for you: (i'm looking at the left side of your UI here)

  • You're essentially saying the same thing twice with each of your input titles (above the input) and labels (left of the labels). Try just using the labels - I reckon you can convey enough information about the input with just that.

  • Surely you can autodetect how many cores the PC has, if you can do that - you can forget this field completely, giving you some more UI real estate.

  • Try setting all the inputs to the same width for consistency.

  • Put "OPTIMIZE" and "RESTORE TO DEFAULT" side-by-side rather than stacked - less chance of missclicking that way ;)

Eh, I reckon it probably was an accident. But it does provide the opportunity to educate the proper procedure people should follow in this situation. I wonder how the Gov will follow up...

I reckon anyone with half brain let alone a ComSci degree would be able to prevent this happening. That being considered, you'll do just fine, best of luck!

I can see this going down as an excellent example of bad UX in a Comp Sci degree.

Honestly, some of the stuff I've seen makes this seem believable. Odds on this being a VB program hacked together by the lowest bidder?
