How we improved the exporting user journey on the Scottish Enterprise website
Hey! I'm waking up from my winter slumber and looking for #UX / UI / product roles or projects. I love to work with kind people, move with intent and fix things.
I'm here for all parts of the process, from research to strategy, working with devs, or building design systems, incl. illustrations! And I know a lot about OS design as well thru coaching Prototype Fund teams at Superbloom.
Where? Remote/Berlin-based.

Boosts appreciated!
Хватить мучить команду навороченным софтом. Как мы делаем систему управления проектами, в которую легко вкатиться
Если за неделю команда не начала нормально работать в новом софте — вы выбрали не инструмент, а проблему. Такую систему либо бросят, либо будут использовать для галочки. Рассказываем, как мы делаем систему, которая не требует «внедрения».

#DesignJob klaxon 🔔 A new #UX specialist position has opened at the tax and revenue office in Kassel. The role is open until 15 February 2026. 4 more roles are currently listed on my German #GovDesign job board – at @bundestag.de@bsky.brid.gy, DRV BW, Bay. LKA: 👇🏻 verwaltungsgestaltung.de#positionen
Just discussing the usability issues that prevent widespread (mass) adoption of open-source social-media tools.
"You're right. Freeware built by open-source Devs tends to suffer from the same problem: Devs don't design for elegance, simplicity, or discoverability. They kludge together a massive number of features they think are cool. That's the way the engineering brain usually works."

Looks like the #Confluence #UX was inspired by Mastodon or smth, idk... I'm facing a big pile of "missing a required security token" messages, suggesting to copy+paste what you wrote. Great job, #Atlassian! I clicked hundreds of those X buttons to dismiss the messages btw, no idea how many thousands there are. All you had to implement is authenticated concurrent editing, and it feels like Microsoft Office on a shared drive in the early 2000s. Open source tools like Hedgedoc do it flawlessly.
Visionnez l'excellente conférence de Tamara Sredojevic sur les normes systémiques du design validiste, présentée à @ParisWeb en 2025.
Nos collègues Magali Milbergue @daisymoon et Maïa Kopff @cookingmaia ont particulièrement apprécié les démonstrations illustrant les systèmes interconnectés de la société validiste, où l’accessibilité se retrouve en concurrence avec la logique de profit :

And yet another #UX detail that #Apple botched in #macOS26: the tooltip texts for the buttons in individual email windows are identical to those for the buttons in the main window.
Take, for example, the button with the trash can icon: instead of the appropriate "Delete this message" it says “Delete selected messages”. 🤨
I wonder if that's a limitation in the implementation, or just oversight by the dev team thanks to copy-n-pasting code snippets around. 🤔
Feedback:
I tried @protonprivacy Authenticator (which has import/export — great!) to get away from Authy (no exports, lock-in, ugh) and I hate to say it, but the Proton UI is inferior.
Proton: every entry looks exactly the same (except for the text), the list format takes up lots of screen space & requires scrolling for >5 entries.
Authy has individual icons that can be customized and takes up minimal space.16 items fit on one screen. Much easier to use.
Excited for the W3C Workshop on Smart Voice Agents (online, 25–27 Feb).
The event brings together the web, voice, and AI communities to build more capable, multimodal, and trustworthy systems using open standards.
Registration closes 19 Feb.
Agenda Highlights:
* Interoperability and Multi-agent systems
* Trust, governance, and reliability
* Inclusive and accessible interaction
* Real-time and automotive use cases

Just watched a Mark & Scott segment (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-3I1mLYkxU
) poking at the “apps are dead / SaaS is dead / UX is dead, it’s all just chat now” idea, and it landed for me more than I expected.
What they’re really arguing (I think) is about where you put certainty. If something is repetitive and has real stakes, money, security, compliance, even just “don’t embarrass me,” you don’t want the workflow to live in a conversation you have to recreate from scratch every time. You want the boring version: a stable flow, clear steps, predictable outcomes. If there’s one fuzzy step (like turning a receipt into text), fine, but the rest should be locked down.
The expense report rant is a great example because it’s not even a tech problem, it’s a systems problem. The “solution” shouldn’t be “teach an assistant to click around my terrible UI.” It should be “why does this process still exist like this?” Why are receipts still photos? Why isn’t the transaction data coming straight from the card provider? The automation is kind of impressive, but it also feels like treating symptoms while the disease keeps partying.
They also call out travel booking as the same category: stuff where small errors are expensive. And the “chat is the new interface” take falls apart once you remember that humans still need review screens, structured input, and guardrails. They mention tools that generate little choice menus on the fly, which is interesting (it blurs the line), but it doesn’t change the core point: if you do it often, you should bottle it into something dependable.
Verdict: “please don’t replace good software with vibes.” Enjoyed it.

#Accessibility -related PSA for users of InDesign.
Check Edit -> Preferences. There may be a "Generative AI..." option in that resulting submenu (see Note). You have to opt-out of Adobe using generative AI to guess at alt-text (and it puts a "Generated with AI" tag).
Note: seems to be specific to 21.2 AND depends on your subscription, especially if you have the all-apps subscription, a student / university subscription, etc. #UX #adobe

I do enjoy a desktop environment that allows you to _easily_ create an old skool right-click menu on your desktop.
There's some quirks to configuring the ordering, not sure if I'll need to hand edit the menu once I get it most of the way there.
For a mutli-head setup this avoids having to have an Application Launcher on every screen, but it does require access to unobscured desktop in order to work.
And my nerdy part likes the '80s-'90s UNIX desktop vibes it creates. Ha.
