3.1.0 people app and mosaic vs bar
asked 2019-07-19 02:23:22 +0300
My online accounts finally gone at all. There was a globe right in the first mosaic (at least on my phone, because I was using the patch "hide recent contacts"). This mosaic I did use very often, even for getting an overview, if all of my messaging accounts are online. Now the last change to see online accounts behind several menus, and you got it done to mess up the skype plugin, this account is gone at all.
Yes this OS is not meant for messeging, because we should use whatsup, right?
The right bar is one step more to android. If you compete with AOSP, you will loose, loose users. And it is much slower like the mosaic before...anyway Jolla start again to change working stuff instead of fixing missing/broken parts. They go again in direction of the tablet disaster.
How about browser, email identities...?
Still no need to finish the system, before messing up again?
driven by extensive UX studies
You might show them the left arrow on the top left corner, in Android and iOS, this arrow which isn't reachable for anybody...they will love it!
like the info button in the gallery :-/
I didn't write here for quite a long time, because it is nonsense..still this "stupid like hell" carousel, 2 actions for 1 page option. Luckily the "no home carousel patch" does still work. Without patches Sailfish OS would be unusable. Here they could make extensive UX studies...
hm, let's do the Ned Flanders: Not good for left handed. Once there was a very prominent left-handed guy at Jolla. Since he left (sic! it began at that time) all UIs are build against ambidexterity. It is not as severe as Apple had problems with the lost Steve, but there are parallels...
It is not the bar but the fixed position of the bar.

danfin ( 2019-07-19 09:46:50 +0300 )edit@nthn sorry this was not intended. My intention was: If you design something, think about putting the device into the other palm. And a bar on the right hand side (!) is not reachable with a left thumb on a bigger device (XA2+ and more).
cy8aer ( 2019-07-19 09:47:20 +0300 )edit@cy8aer: That's definitely true, even on a smaller device it's a hassle to move a scrollbar on the opposite side of your thumb. I was just confused by your comment because I don't think there are a whole lot of changes where left-handed users got the short end of the stick.
