🖖 Hey! I'm Enrico and on this channel I go behind the scenes of the design, psychology and stories behind tech and making stuff on the internet. I'm a tech Product Manager, builder of things made of pixels.
Behind the simple things you do everyday and take for granted, there is a hidden world of design, engineering, psychology, copying nature and tricks that make technology usable by humans. And most people never really notice it. There is so much that I left off this video (originally it would have been 40 minutes long): if you like these topics do let me know in the comments and I will bring you more of them!

UI/UX progressed a lot during all these years. But when you see your grandmother using your phone, you understand that there's still a long way to go...
IMHO it also doesn't help that we think that they have more patience with technology (when they don't) and we give them some crappy, old phone/PC. If they had more patience, they would already know how the menus work. My hypothesis is that a well configured (for bad sight) touch screen Android phone would work for them way better than an old, traditional mobile phone. After all tapping an item should be easier than navigating a cursor there with buttons and then pressing the select button. But I agree that there is a long way to go.
When I help her using her phone and she is struggling with a simple menu I think how much I could teach her better if the interfaces were more skeumorphic like in the past
@@enricotartarottiSkeuomorphism is ideal for users who are inexperienced with tech/computing, as they can relate icons on the screen to real-world objects that they already know and understand how to interact with.
Old people have had more time to get used to technology than children. They could have used MS-DOS all the way to Windows 11, yet they pick up a PC for the first time at 80 years old. Why?
or, be like me and realize that steve jobs was the worst designer, not the best. try being blind and use a phone with a smooth screen. jobs created huge problems and expenses for the whole world and he dealt with no consequences at all. that teaches me that people running the world cannot be trusted and aren't smarter than the average person.
I find those small things you barely notice incredibly fascinating. I once saw a documentary about a simple object, an everyday pen, and was just mindblown by the amount of thought and engineering that goes into these things. Like, certain paints and materials that would be perfectly fine and cheap cannot be used because people have the habit of "chewing" pens; that's something I'd never have thought about.
Great video!
If you find it, I would love to see it too!
Yeah, I’d love to know the name!
Oh, link it here, please!
would love to see that, please link it
There’s a pretty nifty podcast that breaks things like these down called 99% Invisible. It has tons of episodes of things like these.
One more thing about the mouse cursor: It was intended to be used with your right hand. Whenever we take an item with our right hand, it will naturally lean towards the top left corner (let's say we try to take a pencil and point something on a whiteboard). Have you ever tried to use a mouse with your left hand? The mouse cursor remains aligned to the top left. It feels so awkward that I, as a left handed person was not able to adjust to this cognitive dissonance and I simply use the mouse with my right...
You could try downloading a custom cursor pack that's flipped.
It's also natural to point that way if using your right hand. Monitors (were/are) vertical. If you lift your right hand your index finger points naturally to the top left usually with some shoulder abduction and flexion. ASCII mode mouse cursors inverted the colour of the character showed underneath, they weren't even arrows.
I mean i use the mouse with my left hand and even though i could install a custom cursor, i still use ones that point top the top left and i am completely used to that, to the point that if it was pointing to the right it would feel weird instead, so i guess this does vary from person to person
@@mparagamesI use my mouse in both hands and the pointing upwards is always the most natural. Not to mention, Im left-handed as well though Im more of right mouse person so I would have better control for that side despite my left hand is naturally have more dexterity
@@Vysair yeah the thing is, my coordination on the right side is really poor; so i kinda have no other choice but to use the mouse in my left hand :P
That explains the countless times I mistrsuted myself for pressing the wrong button multiple times when I could have sworn that I pressed the right one...
or when you type something in English but are on a non-english keyboard that has the exact same keys...
oh god you just made me realize why typing in english is more annoying than my native language
I always felt that the phone keyboard is doing something fishy. It's so annoying to type rare or unknown words. Now I finally know why phone keyboards suck. Thank you so much! I knew it wasn't me!! 😂 I also noticed that sometimes when you tap an app icon very slightly, it shows visual feedback but doesn't open. I think these features are rather annoying tbh
Same here! I don't want visual feedback followed by a delayed action, and I don't want my phone to incorrectly guess what I'm trying to type unless it's predicting entire words! I type "rare or unknown" words literally daily. Hourly, even.
It’s very frustrating to use the calculator on my Apple Watch when I’m wearing gloves for that exact reason, I swear 70% of the time I’ll click a number, it lights up, but doesn’t get added
If you need to type more uncommon things, my best recommendation is MessagEase. Only 9 buttons, combining accents instead of long press etc.
If you use some professional terms often - you can add them to dictionary in keyboard's settings (and with GBoard even provide shorthand).
When this predictive hitbox works, it works great.
Problem is when you accidentally but consistently typo a word. It then starts thinking the typo is the correct spelling and predicts (or even autocorrects!) to the wrong spelling!
skeleton loaders actually makes the loading feel longer than it actually is. That's because it's tricking my brain into thinking I can do something when I can't. The frustration is annoying
And worst is when they don't even match the actual layout. On TH-cam, the thumbnails have the correct size, and so does the avatar. But then the skeleton has two lines to the right of the avatar, but after it loads it has three lines: title, channel, views. The resulting layout is slightly taller than the skeleton, so everything is pushed a little down as things are loaded in.
Omg yes, if there was an option to turn them off I would hunt through every app's settings to find it.
Agreed 100%. Skeleton loaders is one of those UI trends that everyone just started using because everyone else was using it but it's actually user hostile design.
I used to build physical interfaces for products. Feedback is one of the most important things, if you program something without visual or sound feedback, it feels not just broken, but it is annoying. They call one of the more basic annoyances the "hard touch". People refuse to give up and add more and more force to change the state of what they are seeing and think they can control.
Another funny thing was to test and implement some add on or additional features, seem people just ignore it or worse, on being asked about it specifically or asked to test, saying it is useless.
super interesting! thanks for sharing
Yes, the predictive keyboard frequently doesn't work and is soooo stubborn of typing a different letter than what I actually intend to enter.
I type modelnumbers and serials a lot, and those often give the most issues.
These keyboards make the likelyhood of making a mistake on a model number of some part/product much more likely.
What I find really interesting is that, a lot of the pointers you mentioned were psychological improvements are specifically the things I dislike in the technology: I hate it when the tech tries to predict what I want to do because it removes control from what I actually am trying to do. I untoggled the edge swipe because it constantly triggered when I didn't want it to. I loathe the skeleton loaders because it doesn't work for me the way you describe it; it genuinely appears to be loading for a longer time with it than without. What I find worse is that we don't even have a choice anymore; for simplicity's sake (by which I mean a substantially smaller workload), there's only really the worse option that is intended to _feel_ better rather than actually be better.
Unrelated, but one of my favourite skeuomorphisms is the floppy disk as a save icon, primarily because it's now a relic where kids nowadays just call it a save icon (unless they've watched the multitudes of videos that has now pointed out this fun fact)
You're not alone, a lot of these improvements and revolutions aren't exactly beloved by the regular people stuck with them. Tech bros love to reinvent the wheel just for the sake of "futuristic design" , meanwhile not addressing any real issues like accessibility
The skeleton loaders are more a product of sending to much data to the client on first load than anything. If they removed the unused code they'd get quite a bit of speed back, over even focus the application on doing less.
Yes! Absolutely! Thank you for sharing cause I feel so much less alone now
The real issue isn't prediction, it's *anticipation.* It's anticipation that gets in the way, but prediction can be convenient.
My favorite feature of Bash (and other textual shells) is that we can type a full sequence of commands (not just program-names), and we can *choose* to auto-complete with a list of history-entries that have an exact common prefix with the cmd we're currently typing in the prompt!
I learned about that thanks to Mathias Bynens' `dotfiles`
these "designers" make functionality that could often have no wait time whatsoever take an interminable amount of time, which they pretend is unnoticed or enjoyable because they love looking at their own loading screens
Something worth noting with the mouse cursor, the first instances of the cursor created by Xerox were actually poiting straight up
As far as I know the reason they changed them to point to the top left was simply because it was easier to draw them that way. I think the whole saving a few bits of data was just a happy coincidence from doing the easy thing. But I have no documented knowledge on it, I'm just old and spouting from memory.
I think they changed it so it covered up less of rust you were trying to click on.
skeumorphism is still a pretty big thing in music production DAWs and VSTs, definitely can help out to make a bland UI look appealing
Exactly, thinking about waves plug-ins now, versus serum which embraces it's modern design
Skeumorphism is very much embraced in music production. Super cool
Man, I went to grad school for human-computer interaction and I never get tired of its design principles. Love how you explained some on this video! ❤️
That explains why my phone is problematic at times, I disabled all the assistive typing so it hits unitended letters all the time.
One of the things I've noticed about virtual displays, this also applies to sci-fi depictions of holographic/volumetric displays is how I subconsciously perceive the projection to have a sharp edge. That glowing 2D window border resembles a razor blade floating in space. Part of the UI design for the future is going to need to include an aesthetic tweaking, so that it has a friendlier feel to it. Something that invites you touch it, instead of something that might lacerate your hand if you get too close to it.
Minor detail - on most systems the cursor does actually blink while you type, it just is that most people miss this.
The blink-cycle for the cursor is usually On-Off-repeat. Usually at 1000-2000ms cycle (1-2s from start to start). However when you type it just resets the timer for the loop (so it frequently restarts, and it starts in the On state).
Easiest test for this is to just check what CPM you type at, figure out your avg time between keypresses (60/CPM) and set it a smidge shorter.
Some systems uses the Off-On-repeat and on these the cursor basically "disappears" when typing, common trick to use when on slow displays or when "ghosting" is an issue.
And this is a great comment. Because while he explains that this is an extra thing the software has to do, it is still a very clever design to just restart the timer for each time it moves. Meaning that it's both a clever thing to consider, and a clever way to execute it. But it's true that he used the wrong term.
Honestly VR text entry should be done in sign language. I don't know sign language and I can't imagine that learning sign language would be easy, but it already hits all the requirements for easy interpretability, and it would also help a lot of people communicate better with hearing impaired or deaf folks
Wow I never thought about that. I admit the barrier to entry is huge but it would be super cool
Why use a less efficient way to communicate that requires constant movement?
@@makatron Why do you think it's less efficient? The text-to-speech alternative exists already, but for quiet text entry sign languages are perfect
@@insu_na way easier to figure out how to make the keyboard work than having people spelling their names, which is how ASL work, since it can be hard to track all that with the cameras in the visor that are looking down with not a great perspective. Remember ASL is meant to be seen from the front not top down.
ASL (and other sign languages) also has signs that are similar to each other. Facial expressions are another very important part of Sign Language.
And finally, Sign Languages are not 1:1 with English or French or Russian or Chinese or any other language, they have completely different grammar rules, and thus have to actually be translated the same way spoken languages are translated between.
I have never ever ever swiped on my screen instead of using a back button. I didn't know that was an option.
One thing I really hated, and it hasn't been as bad lately I think but maybe it's just because of the systems I'm using, is when I was selecting text from a document and if I selected from the middle of a word it would automatically select the entire word. I'm very intentional about where I start and end a selection. If I want to preserve the last 'es.', for example, because I need it and don't want to retype it, then it's really annoying if the selection automatically grabs that and I have to go back and reselect to specify that I don't want it.
Yeah fuck that. I hate it when it selects the whole text too.
This was driving me mad too!
Ugh, same! Selecting is made so much more difficult than it has to be by this.
Having recently switched from Android, I have to say that text selection is one of the most annoying things on an Iphone. On Android it just works the way you'd expect, it's super easy and precise to start and end the selection exactly where you want. On Iphone it always automatically expands and it's sometimes almost impossible to only select part of a word. It has happened many times that I tried to correct a mistake and just gave up, retyping the entire word instead...
One way to go around this is to press slightly harder on the typed text for a moment until a magnifying glass shows up by that point you can slide that around to move the selection letter by letter
Regarding your mouse pointer example, I always figured it was angled that way because most people use their right hand to manipulate the mouse. If you hold your hand up and extend only your index finger, you’ll also notice the finger and hand are at roughly a similar slight angle.
This already implies the existence of a mouse with a button that is pressed with the index finger, which was not a given. Apple's early mice had one huge button in the center, because the concept of using two fingers to trigger different types of action (which now feels so natural to us) wasn't there yet.
@@NeovanGoth I don't think it implies that. In fact, the Apple Lisa had a left-angled pointer despite the one-button mouse.
So it wasn't angled that way because of multi-finger usage. It was pointed that way because most people are righties, and when holding up their hand to point at something (such as a restaurant menu) the hand was angled in that up-left direction naturally.
I would bet that if the world was mainly a lefty world, we'd have seen the pointer angled up-right.
@@Roccondil If the world was mainly a lefty world, the writing would also be right to left, and also the coordinate direction, leading to the image coordinate thing in the video. But well, I don't think the image coordinate thing was the main reason, it's more likely to be the hand angle
yes th-cam.com/video/YThelfB2fvg/w-d-xo.html
I downloaded a swipe keyboard on my phone recently. It's called Thumb Key and it has 9 buttons, with the most common letters of the english alphabet in the center.
The other letters are achieved by swiping to the side of a certain key. For example q is achieved by swiping up from h. It is pretty nice, it definitely took a lot of time to adjust to after using a normal keyboard for an extremely long time, but I like it, and I can type o it about as fast as I do when I type on a standard one.
Looked at the play store and holy crap it's expensive just for a keyboard
Ah nevermind it's free on F-Droid
@@dyschromatopsia Some use it, but most people that I've met don't
i actually have an issue with the gesture controls that have been slowly implemented over time, when I'm holding my phone the palm occasionally causes a swipe back or causes resizing randomly due to poor palm rejection, i would often prefer a physical button over a gesture
Sounds more like a palm rejection issue (Wondering why your palm is on your screen to begin with) all guestures can be turned off
Yes, please let us bring back physical buttons! At least the normal three we used to have at the bottom. I really appreciated them and want them back!
@@viddeliten You can turn gestures off and just use the three buttons.
@@arcwand there are no physical buttons on my phone except volume and power buttons.
That's why I love Huawei. That touch button is amazing.
Im impressed how the production values just goes up and up with every video you release. Very impressive to see this. Your subjects are very well chosen and you explain them very well. Kudos!
Im not a creative designer, but I am a very detail-oriented software engineer and I've had times where I see edge cases of interaction that higher ups just don't care about and it often bugs me.
Worse still you know how to fix it but you're not allowed.
Thank you for caring. Hopefully at some point you get into a position where you get to apply this kind of super useful sensibility. You're a credit to your profession.
My absolute favorite feature was in Instagram. When you were scrolling through people you are following - and you were not waiting for the scrolling action to finish before initiating another scrolling motion - it would register any tiny motion to the left or right and it would accidentally take you to your followers list instead. Innovation!
It's amazing how they simultaneously make great design decisions like this, and then also decide stupid things like:
Basic settings being hidden behind 20 different menus and being very frustrating to get to.
Not letting iPhone users organise their home screen.
Or introducing gesture controls with no intuitive way to understand how they're supposed to work, forcing those controls as default, and then in the case of Android hiding the setting to go back to the classic navigation bar deep in settings so your average user will never find it or even know its there.
The people who design the UX are not the same as the people who use these devices. For example to make a good UX for Photoshop you should know how to use the app and probably be good at it.
0:11 It's incredible how they went through all that trouble and engineering just to "reinvent the wheel"... Typing in small keyboards had already been a solved problem for years!
They just had to keep using the old "T9" keyboard layout with predictive text.
Why on earth every single brand decided QWERTY was the best choice when touchscreen phones started popping up is beyond me... Instead of going with big buttons they went the opposite direction and just created more problems for everyone.
It wouldn't have been such a pain in the a, if at least some brands had allowed T9 to be an option (even if hidden in the UI), but nope, everyone killed it from existence and it couldn't be found anywhere ever since.
I had to google what "t9" is an uhh...no the qwerty layout is infinitely superior than "tap this button SEVERAL TIMES for one letter" and the fact you even had the thought that t9 is better makes me question your sanity. You had several opportunities to rethink your idiocy:
- When you initially had the stupid-ass idea
- While you were typing your idiotic comment
- Right before clicking send
- right after clicking send, when you could have deleted this stupid fucking take before anyone saw it and realized you're stupid
- right now, after being reminded that your idea is ret-rded.
I agree that having options is good, however I believe QWERTY is a lot faster.
Because qwery doesnt have you press the same button 3 times for one letter?
T9 was a mode on 9 key keyboards that allowed you to press each key only once per letter, and an algorithm would take a list of known words and figure out which one you meant.
@@LunaDragofelis I presume you still had to press the key multiple times if the word that you wanted to spell wasn't in the list of words though?
Way back in the day when I was using Mac OS 7, I had a system extension that would alter the mouse cursor so that it pointed in the direction that you were moving it. It was really cool, but also quite distracting. I would find myself sometimes just flying the cursor around on the screen like it was a video game. I ultimately had to removed it, as I was more productive not having it behave like that.
Did you know while watching a YT video on PC, you can click and hold your left mouse button to play at 2x speed, then just let go when you want to return to 1x speed? I discovered that one a couple weeks ago. Don't use it all the time but it is cool!
Actually, same with Android too, just tap and hold the screen! Just discovered this after posting the initial comment.
I never knew that thank you!!!
It’s a new feature. Actually it is kind of annoying that they didn’t think to add an option for this.
Also, if you're using YT on a browser, you can find all the keyboard shortcuts by pressing shift and the / key, which is the '?' character. It shows shortcuts for skipping forward/backward, changing playback speed and other things as well
Thank you!@@madsenbaum
You just presented a subject that bored me to death during my Computer Engineering degree in a way that I found very interesting and hooked me in. I already knew many of the things you talked about going in, like Fitt's Law and the psychological tricks modern UIs play on us, but your presentation form actually made this terminal-dwelling person care a bunch more about UI design than my UX/UI classes ever did.
This means a lot, thank you!
That first fact explains so much! Oh, I hate that they do that! I'm a very muscle memory reliant person. I expect the active zone for a button press to be in the exact same spot every time. This explains why I will hit the exact same spot that worked to type a specific letter last time only for it to type another letter altogether! Now I'm off to find a way to disable that feature for my phone, even if I have to root the damn thing to do it! That explains why I can never get better at typing on my phone's keyboard, because it's literally lying to me about the active zones for the keys and changing them every damn time!
I'm using Gboard and I've disabled spellcheck for typing. I mostly swipe so it uses it for that still, which it needs to do. But when then go to type a word, while it gives me suggestions, it doesn't change my input. If I type T H and then press between E and R, I still get R. So this feature isn't used.
If I enable the spellcheck, and do the same typing, it seems like E is extended further and I get E more than R. This might just be the way I type. But if this is a feature on Gboard, then it's very little and only covers the smaller gaps between the letters.
@@LiggliluffPretty sure this feature is only present in Apple devices. If you turn on developer options on Android, and enable “show layout bounds”, you'll see the keyboard hitboxes never change.
Also, Apple appears to have a patent for this technology, so I'm not sure if Google could simply implement it on their keyboard as well.
@@v3ktxr_GD I've heard patent can't be done on software. While hardware can be patented which involves software, the core idea of just making the keys larger (just not visually) is done in software and can't be patented ... so I've heard. But at the same time, there's the minigame during loading that was apparently valid but expired. But I guess what could prove this either way is for someone to find which patent it is.
@@Liggliluff Yeah, I'm also not sure if that patent is real at all. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a lot of information about the topic on the internet too.
The keyboard thing is interesting, but I’d be interested in trying the keyboard without it to see how it feels. There are definitely times when I keep typing a letter wrong in a word even though I KNOW I am hitting the right character. After messing up the same letter a few times, I take a second to be VERY precise with that one letter. I’m curious if the more general typing would be worse enough to justify not fixing those somewhat corner cases. If nothing else I now feel validated for the times I’ve ran into that issue when I have to retype a word 3 times because the same letter keeps being wrong
Oh so this is why it's always "of" instead of "if" when I'm on my phone. It also explains why I can't use any words that are specific to my job, unique to in jokes I have with my friends, or specific to the technologies my friends and I are learning.
Well, thanks for explaining. I still hate it, and will run to my laptop every time I want to have a proper conversation.
That has actually been massively changed with the recent version of iOS. The model now is not the same fixed one for everyone anymore, but adapts to what you are using. It was even mentioned in the WWDC keynote with everyone's favorite example - ducking - that will not happen anymore. Not because Apple finally added "fucking" to the dictionary (they would never do this), but because they don't need it to add it anymore, you do it yourself. So regarding the words that are specific to your job - type them several times and with each time, it will magically become easier to type them.
Oh my God, I actually hate this feature. My phone always thinks I am trying to hit the delete button when I am just trying to type the letter "m." The problem is, I end up having the press the delete button so often BECAUSE they are screwing with the hit boxes, which makes the software "learn" that I am more likely to want to be pressing it. I hate it so much.
During the 2007 Keynote of the iPhone reveal, the coolest thing Steve demoed was the rubber band scrolling. Now I know why.
such a cool concept for a video bro!! keep up your interesting videos!
the cursor facing the top left isn’t just because of the reason you said, but also because most people are right handed & it mimics the direction that your hand is pointing.
Absolutely blown away by your content! This is my first time checking out your videos, and I couldn't hit the subscribe button fast enough. It's been ages since a video made me sit up and take notice. Looking forward to exploring more and getting hooked on your unique perspective! 🤩
I’ve actually sort of accidentally figured out all of these things by myself. The way buttons give feedback, work on release and cancel once outside the area is something that was “obvious” to me when hard touch screens used to be the norm. I absolutely hated when the screen immediately opens something as soon as you touch it. I hated it when you drag off and let go and it still goes through with it. I hated it when you don’t know what you’re clicking without the visual feedback. I used to be a massive Android fan boy and this was probably the majority of the experience. Eventually got my hands on an iPhone and fell in love immediately. This felt terrible for me because I was a “techy” dude which prohibits iPhones like the plague. But the user interface was just so obvious that it should have been the default. A lot of progress has been made since then for both Android and Apple but that was my experience at least.
The moment I held an iPhone and typed a bunch in the store back in the day, it felt like it was reading my mind compared to other stuff on the market.
(it was)
I like how you basically give people the basics of the video in the first minute and then go into detail.
Fantastic video. Amazing how much of the world whether physical or digital we take advantage of without really thinking about what it is, how it was made, and all of the thought and details behind it. This was so good.
Fantastic editing Enrico
It's absolutely fascinating how much psychology goes into designing a simple button... Do you know any good books about it? Would love to nerd out on it 🤓
That actually explains so much. I've felt gaslit for years because it'd type the wrong thing when I could've sworn I was tapping the right key.
This is yoru first video I watched and the keyboard example made me subscribe immediately. MY GOODNESS such great content. Keep going! Thanks :)
very informative I didn't know all these concepts and "tricks"!
yeah...
Thank you for this video, I thought I was slowly going mad for years when I swore I hit H button 3 times already and the effing phone types Y or something
Okay, I've spent this morning binging a cuple of your videos, and i think i have a new favorite channel, keep up the amazing content! I just love the presentation and information, plus the analysis.
3 minutes in and I already know this channel is gold. Immediately liked and subscribed 👍
about the 9 button example:
So basically, my device is runnign a rediculous amount of checks every time I click a button instead of just following my wishes immediately, aka the device is intentionally lagging??????????? Don't like that.
Now I just want a setting that lets the keyboard show the button hitboxes. Would be really useful, personally, as I type words that aren't in the dictionary literally daily (for example: names of characters or other fictional content, like "Shulker," "Koraidon," "Threepeater," etc.) and I'm realizing this is why I keep making errors when typing. Because I'm NOT making errors. My phone is trying to incorrectly predict what button i'll press next.
about swipes on Android. I hate them, they're just bad. I always accidentally go back when browsing photos. I much more liked a home button with pressure sensitivity on my previous phone. It was Meizu15 lite and i believe that button worked like on iphones.
But these days we forced to use swipes because the screen should take all the space. And phones became bigger and bigger. Ugh.
And you don't need 3.5mm jack and SD card slot so better go buy some new headphones and a phone with lots of space for twice money.
I just found your channel, and I gotta say, this video totally blew me away! The editing is on point, it feels super fresh, and I'm seriously impressed by the amount of effort and research you've put into it
E poi quando ho visto che sei italiano ✈✈
Keep grinding (i subscribed ❤)
Mind-blowing video! I especially loved the tidbits about the mouse cursor and the iPhones keyboard. Would love to see more episodes about UI/UX in this style :)
Something really strange after the said, “keyboard upgrade” is that I used to type really really well on the older tech and ever since the “update” I pretty much have to use voice to text because it can’t seem to predict anything I’m going to type.
Predictive text and autocorrect has always been awful. Same with ads that apparently are based on my user data
great content! Mayne change the title, because you delivered wayyy more than advertised.
This video is crazy good. You just summarized an entire UX Design BootCamp in a few minutes. Amazing work!
Your channel definitely deserves more subscribers and views. Excellent content!

Eg: if a video is playing in low res (144- 480p) then even a child who’s used to watching youtube in HD or 4k will change the quality settings in a second. But how to change the settings? ( click on the video, click on settings gear icon, click quality, click advanced , then choose resolution.)
So many steps for a new person but easy for 5 yr old child with past experience. The kid doesn’t even know what the resolution numbers mean.
😂😂😂😂 youtube is full of mindless content like this.
I avoid these stupid videos but some end up on my feed anyways.
Disliking and don’t recommend channel.
The thing with that so called hot wired part is that it is not so hot wired and their is no help or tutorial option to be found anywhere at times, and so it is all a guessing game as much as I manage just fine. Yes they take it too far!
Now explain the thumbnail(!)... .
Scrolling on Android feels more natural.
Just gave me a whole new perspective on design generally, and kudos on the vedio editing it is on point👌
Very well done. I love how you brought it home connecting it to the successor to the smartphone
6:33 Also, what goes against nature but works perfectly - is that you can accelerate scrolling further just by continuing to scroll. Sucks that it doesn't work everywhere, but the mechanic is perfect
How does adding more energy into an action go against nature here exactly?
@@crazydragy4233 friction - if you scroll by moving your finger the same speed everytime, the scroll should be the same speed, but sometimes I see that if you move finger fast enough, scroll doesn't slow down to finger speed
MacOS is a king of not using animations when it's not necessary, like closing a window doesn't make an animation, but when you go into fullscreen mode, the window pops out of the desktop and moves the desktop out of the way while making the window bigger, so you have a full visual queue that tells you "I created a virtual desktop with just this one app in it"
Wonderful video about an often overlooked, but ever so fascinating aspect of modern software development. Enlightening. Thank you!
This is gold-level content noone is making this stuff from a PM/Product Designer's perspective who has as depth and quality as yours.
I'm a product designer BTW
For me, a linux terminal is much closer to the nature than the modern web apps
it truly is but it's not sexy and cannot be sold. rational, pragmatic people are not welcome in the iStore
8:00: I hate loading skeletons. More often than not they give me a false sense of what's being loaded. It keeps annoying me and even worse, it makes loading take way longer. I prefer seeing things getting populated with data as it's available and ready to be interacted with.
Loading skeletons are usually an annoyance to me. But they are fine in some UIs
This was fantastically done. I went to subscribe and couldn't believe you only had 110k subs. This is the production value of a video of someone with 1M+. Keep up the good work.
I don't even know what your channel is about but the fact that you've explained in straightforward way a relative unknown topic without losing cohesion made me subscribe within the first 3 minutes.
Why so much chromatic aberration? Dude chill
I love how incredibly well made this video is.
Your video reminds me of something I thought about last night, how Windows will not ALWAYS shut down when you tell it to shut down, even if you use the "shutdown" command. Someone, somewhere in the design process realized that there may be a very important program running that you might not want to interrupt unceremoniously, maybe an unsaved document or a program installer. Despite giving the computer a "command", it will not necessarily listen to it unless you make it FORCEFUL (with the /f switch)
This stuff is so cool!!! Thanks for making this video, i really enjoyed it :D
Great video! Incredibile che ancora non conoscevo un canale italiano di questa qualità! You just got a new sub
I honestly have no idea how people do these kinds of things, it's crazy. We are suckers for precision
Very cool breakdown for the everyday man!! Keep up the awesome content!
Yeah, we take a lot of things for granted, not even considering how hard it would actually take to make those "simple" things!
Thanks for the video!
Very informative!! Thanks, and followed for more! 😊
WOW! This video was a delight to watch. really amazing these sorts of things billions of people use and take for granted!
Finally someone made a video about this 😮 no one appreciates the amount of extra logic and edge case handling that goes into UI
such a good video Enrico. I read about the apple keyboard in the book *design of everyday things* but it was way cool to be able to visualise it.
Massive respect, loved every example
this was genuinely fascinating! Nice work! You really made me think about how we take UI design for granted! Also i cant help but think of Discord as an example of an un-intuitive interface lmao especially their new one!! Also on desktop i always use the fact that if i accidentally click something i can just hold down the mouse button and move it away so it cancels it haha :)
This is most interesting film I've ever watched. GGs dude! Love it!
Love that John Mayer record on the background ❤
And also: great video!
goodness me, you've just distilled everything I learned in a semester ID module into 11 mins
Smashed it out of the park with another banger video once again
Great video, subscribed!
I knew it! i was like "whenever i type something not common it's harder" and then i figured out it was because of this. Seeing this video confirmed my thoughts :D
What a high quality video from a channel with only 100k subs. Definitely earned a sub
I’ve been looking to branch out into UX and this video hit the spot. Great knowledge and info, but also with amazing timing and clickbait
(loved the bit where you subtly hinted we should subscribe without saying it. You got my subscription 😉)
10:22 - After Apple released the Vision Pro, the biggest thing that stood out to me was how much progress they made in UI/UX in that segment. In fact, this relates very closely to some technological limitations of our time, too. They had to make some advancements and innovations in hand and eye tracking just to be able to perform that seemingly simple “click” (tap/select/etc) action. The moment I saw their initial demo video, it stood out to me as a rare leap in interaction design. I’m not sure how useful it is in the short or long term, but it was definitely a moment to behold.
I thought I was just losing my mind. For YEARS. This feature messes with my head so bad. It causes me to consistently hit bad inputs over and over again. Maybe it helps too, idk, not a fan of touch keyboards still.
Thank you so much for this video.
Great video! Really given me a new perspective on UX and UI👏👏
Food for thought. When you talk about how most interfaces only popped up within the last 20 years and how our brains are now wired for it. That may clue in as to why it’s so hard for old people to learn tech as quickly and even at all.
The keyboard thing is so fascinating like I never thought about that
Absolutely brilliant video. Subscribed.
4:40 those spotfy features you mentioned, they all have affordance. while moving onto a next song the cover slides right and left and when you try to open that panel up it slides from bottom.
It´s always the ingenuity what makes posible a great breaktrough in an innovation, mainly in the UX/UI area nowadays with all the digital tools and apps we use. It was really interesting to learn about the skeumorphism, skeleton loaders and more stuff; the keyboard thing was a real surprise ngl.
Thanks for your video :D
No intentional mistakes! That's why I have so much problems on making intentional spelling alterations. Finally I got the reasoning behind it
