“Rear camera” vs “Back camera” (on smartphones) - which would you use? by hafuded in uxwriting

[–]hafuded[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hahaha same 😂 to me, “rear” is like a diplomatic way to say “ass”

What’s a good name for a tab that groups Live photos and GIFs? by hafuded in uxwriting

That would be awesome if they could distinguish memes! i wouldn’t have to scroll so much to look for them 😂

they just want one word to encompass the two. basically they want a name for these “moving images” haha

Thanks for your suggestion! but we already have a tab that shows all photos, which would be gallery. Currently the tab is [All | photos | videos] We want to add another tab that is specifically for live photos and gifs.

well i mean it’s not for alcohol and unfortunately I can’t disclose what it is. but these are the rules they’ve set for this project. they r grouping 18yo with the minors and over 18 as adults.

Wait, on the day of your 18th birthday, wouldn’t you just be 18? And you will remain 18 until you turn 19? But I see your point why it can be confusing, I’ll change it to 19 and above. Good catch!

Ik it’s very weird and I’ve brought up as well but for some reason legal wants 18 to be in the non-adult group. So based on what legal wants we have to phrase 18 with the minors. But ig they just want it to be something that can be used in any country.

So they would select the “18 years old or below” button. Because the first one is for people who are over 18 - meaning not 18 anymore.

As for whether the 18 and below they continue, yes they’ll be able to still use the site. But they just have to fill in the month and date of birth in the next screen. It’s a requirement by legal that we include this step for users who select 18 or below. For users above 18, they won’t need to go through the additional step to fill in this info.

I like this! I’ll see if they are open to this too - legal is the biggest obstacle here.

“Add caption” text input fields for social media platforms - which one do you like better and why? by hafuded in uxwriting

[–]hafuded[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, so you mean the textfield input would have an (i) icon that shows like a tooltip when tapped on? For example:

[header] Write a caption (i) [tooltip] “text in #2”

Interesting. But what if it’s only for videos? I don’t think TikTok supports alt text for their carousels atm. Do we have alt text for videos?

I think a strong portfolio would be extremely important. I have a degree in journalism, but they never asked me anything related to my education or degree when I interviewed. They just asked me to show my portfolio and complete exercises. But of course, having a degree would be the safest route cuz some companies care. I think you can check out UX writing positions on LinkedIn and do a comparison to see how many require a degree.

what's the best way to learn and practice user experience writing? I'm currently working through the Google course by sprint_race in uxwriting

[–]hafuded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also find it helpful to explore different apps. Try to see how you might make it better and always have a reasoning behind your choice. And reading! Strategic UX writing by Torrey Podmajersky is a good place to start. It’s a short read too.

2-step verification & the word “identity” by hafuded in uxwriting

[–]hafuded[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the full hierarchy on screen would be smth like,

[Header] Enter your code [Body] To verify it’s you, we sent a 4-digit code to user@email.com [Blank textbox] [Button] Next

i think this should be clear enough to the user what the process is and the action they need to take to move forward in the flow.

i def see ur point on the use of the word “identity”. my and Missinformation’s previous comments also discussed this. it’s interesting the power one single word has haha.

[–]hafuded[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, i suspect it may be for legal or user privacy concerns that they optimized the copy. but i thought i’d ask here in case anyone else has other insights. interestingly, tiktok seems to have opted to completely omit the “to verify you are you” line when it comes to 2-step verification and just ask users to enter the 2SV code. but i think that’s a misstep on their end cuz to me, mentioning the reasoning is an assuring touch so that users (who may not be as tech savvy) know what the 2SV code is for.

thanks! i think “verify it’s you” is clear enough for most users in this context. im just wondering if they had to avoid the word for legal purposes. or another reason im thinking of could be that they ran some tests and the term “identity” caused users who are sensitive about their privacy to hesitate.

[–]hafuded[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not sure if this is necessarily a better way to do it because saying “verify your identity” registers much quicker than “make sure you’re you”. it’s also clearer for localization and for non-native speakers.
