I finally got round to seeing this vid: Gestural interfaces are all the rage. Now with this Leap device, you can control any interface with touch free gestures! $75 for December shipments.

I’m currently designing a web app that takes both implicit and explicit user actions to fuel a product recommendation engine. I’m looking for examples of inspired interfaces which gathers user input through diagnostic type tools, questionnaires or other mechanisms. One example I liked was the old Hunch.com questionnaire on signup. See anything cool lately? Help!

Things websites should be: fast, useful, intuitive, and secure. How you get there: there is no one-true-way. Enjoy the journey.

7 Basic Best Practices for Buttons

Tue, 08 May 2012 22:49:00 -0400

7 Basic Best Practices for Buttons:

via dragoni

Here are my basic best practices for buttons:

Make buttons look like buttons.

Put buttons where users can find them.

Make the most important button look like it’s the most important one.

Put buttons in a sensible order.

Label buttons with what they do.

If users don’t want to do something, don’t have a button for it.

Make it harder to find destructive buttons.

Shell Apps and Silver Bullets

Shell Apps and Silver Bullets:

hunterpryor:

Benjamin Sandofsky:

The difference is shell apps come from the wrong mentality. They start from, “How do we reduce effort?” instead of “How do we deliver the best product?”

Great products require more work. They requires commitment, attention to detail, and leaving your comfort zone. Shortcuts are just a distraction.

(Via Daring Fireball)

I’m an admitted native development snob, but it’s for a reason.
