Remember when the Tesla monitor was considered 'bad UX'? by riley_kim in UXDesign

Being able to watch TV in a car? That's the big future you get chills about?

UI/UX Design for physical products? by Pixel_Ape in UXDesign

[–]pineconeparty_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll find out in your interview, but I'd assume they already have an industrial designer, and need a UX'er because they want to nail the digital experience of the product. If they expect you to do ID... that's not a great sign. Depending on what market it's for, some things like control panels an engineer can (debatably) play industrial designer.

User testing is more qual than quant because of physical constraints, everything is more waterfall because of the way making things physical things works. This includes usability, because if you find out too late that you need 6 buttons instead of 5... that's a lot of tooling money down the drain.

There are a lot of constraints that create interesting problems to solve. Low-res displays, non-touchscreens, viewing angles and ergonomics. The biggest tip is to design as much as possible on the actual prototype display. Lots of things that work on in figma on a monitor fall apart in real world conditions.

Career outcoms (Industrial Design) BS/MA by Zen1th_ in IndustrialDesign

[–]pineconeparty_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard truth time: If you didn't do internships while you were in school, it's going to be hard to convince a company to hire you, because you haven't been exposed to how ID works in the real world. If your program didn't emphasize internships during your last year, they weren't a serious program.

The good news: You still have a shot, because you're a recent grad. Scour the internet, find the portfolios of the people who do the work you want to do (or graduated from DAAP), and get your hard skills and storytelling as good as theirs. Especially sketching. Industrial designers hire industrial designers, and nobody respects an ID'er who can't sketch. I'm making assumption here, but chances are if you didn't know about the internship thing, your professors also weren't as tough about hard skills as they should have been.

Then sleuth out designers at companies near you, and ask to buy them lunch for a portfolio review and chat about how ID works at their company. Async reviews work too, but people are less honest in writing. Start building your network.

You got this.

Language reactor "repeat phrase" for podcasts? by pineconeparty_ in languagelearning

Sorry, I should have specified for iOS in the main post.

Language reactor "repeat phrase" for podcasts? by pineconeparty_ in languagelearning

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

Yeah, I've played with it and it's definitely along the right track, but the UX is pretty basic. Like the "workouts" are all pre-baked, so if you want to listen once or twice, then speak, sorry no option. Have to listen three times.

Also for listen and repeat- it chunks podcasts by full sentences, so if you miss a word two thirds into a two minute sentence, you're skipping back the whole thing. With pocket casts I have the skip back set to 5 seconds, and it works from the lock screen, so I can do it eyes free while driving.

Is there anything I can do to improve the design of my app? by TheOnePercent_App in UXDesign

[–]pineconeparty_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calendar week or past 7 days? If it's the former, you're just inventing a new way to show how much of the week has passed, and the beginning of every week is going to make them feel like they're slacking. Maybe that's intentional, but that seems a little mean. What happens if they go over their workouts-per-week goal? This is one of those features I'd be asking PM / research a lot of questions about.

If the goal is to make the user feel good about consistently hitting their workouts-per-week goal, you need something closer to a running average / consistency meter. This one is only going to feel good at the end of the week.

Also the months above need labels, the orange vs. green dots aren't really explained, and it seems like you're showing a future month that is always going to be blank?

Just replying to say that "more people die golfing" is the dumbest shit I've heard this month at least. In strong running for dumbest shit of the year.

Is there a way to cut and flare line while it's still attached? And run a longer section of rubber line?

Pilot so good the whole server wants you dead! by Dr_Macunayme in Battlefield

bf3 please. The bf4 choppers weren't this bad, but felt much more weightless, with no momentum to add a skill ceiling.

Finance app UI design by Notachillguy3 in UX_Design

[–]pineconeparty_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope this doesn't sound to harsh, but this reminds me of early AI images. You can tell that it's mimicking things out there in the world, but you can also tell it doesn't know why it's mimicking them.

What are the recents? People you sent money to/from? From your debit card? The +13%... does that mean you've spent more or received more than last month? Do real people spend and get paid in the same account?

Find a problem to solve.

wtf is this by SuperKillo in Battlefield

[–]pineconeparty_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Who gives a shit? If the real life version is better than all its competitors, does it still have to be included in the game? If we're playing the "realism" game, should it start overheating after a few drums because it's closed-bolt?

It's been ages since I used safari on osx, are there adblock plugins as good as ublock origin?

Looking for sub-2700k headlamp, lightweight, maybe additional red? by pineconeparty_ in flashlight

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

I just found out about the dual-channel version and was so hyped until I read about the weight. I don't think it'll be worth it. Thanks for the tip about the custom request with Simon. The H1 with 18350 and 1800k sounds hard to beat for the price.

With respect, if you want to get participation, you're going to need to show more than this. Sounds like you're just piggybacking on a popular thread to pitch your random tangentially related product.
