New Video on Interface Studies: What “Infinite Scrolling” was for. Infinite scrolling was built in 2005 to make exploring image search results easier. Twenty years later, politicians want to ban it and the designer most associated with it keeps apologising for it. youtu.be/eDDI9OSWY9k?...

New video on Interface Studies: What does "Intuitive" actually mean? What do we mean when we call a design intuitive? Where the idea came from, and what it means for the interfaces we build today? youtu.be/6k_50y2gzWU

Starting a new series on Interface Studies, speaking with people who are building new kinds of interfaces and reimagining old ones. The first episode features @danielpipk.in and Omar Rizwan from folk.computer. Hope you enjoy it. youtu.be/uXHHnps4tU8?...
New video on Interface Studies: DVD menus were simple software with surprising power: they could change how a film was presented and understood. This video looks at what we lost when they gave way to templates, endless rows, personalised artwork and autoplay countdowns. youtu.be/kbpi3qD4y18?...

🔔 New video on Interface Studies. It starts with a simple question: do we have too many settings? But as I explore some possible answers, a bigger question emerges: is that even the right question? youtu.be/vlsH_HbSrSE

New on Interface Studies: almost every app has a bookmark button. Almost none of them has a real “later.” This video traces the save-for-later pattern from a 1983 study of office desks, through browser bookmarks and hidden menus, to the Watch Later lists we rarely open. youtu.be/frjyb4_4Rlg?...

New Video on Interface Studies: What Makes Software a “Place”? When does software start to feel like somewhere instead of something? Some software you return to. Some you only use. The difference is not aesthetic, and it is not nostalgia. youtu.be/tBE2ZYx7MWw?...

New video on Interface Studies: The Skeuomorphism Nobody Talks About Skeuomorphism is usually framed as a closed chapter of consumer interface design: the leather and felt of early iOS, retired in 2013, dismissed as visual fashion. But another version never went anywhere. youtu.be/3Q-G9x315-g

New video on Interface Studies: The Receding User: Designing for Absence Interface design spent sixty years closing the distance between user and action. Certain aspects of generative AI and the software built around it suggest otherwise. youtube.com/watch?v=C0aC...

updated a small experiment that I worked on a while ago. nodepad is a spatial research tool that reads what you write and enriches it. no chat. no prompts. just capture your thought and see the structure emerge. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCLY... nodepad.space

New video on Interface Studies Who’s a Designer? On roles, processes, tools, and of course AI! The design industry is undergoing a stress test, exposing long-ignored paradoxes around the profession and its labour market, many of which have existed for over a decade. youtu.be/v1WdF7BxpBc?...

New video on Interface Studies on Responsive Surfaces. Using Math Notes as a lens for a longer argument about a computing paradigm in which the surface or the app itself becomes responsive. Not a tool you query, but a medium that participates. Hope you enjoy it :) youtu.be/4Vzd_-K6zaI?...
