@arthurwyatt also, Amazon in-browser purchase process on iPad is superior to Comixology in-app or in-browser, I nearly always abandon cart – 08:49 PM GMT

@deathmtn canonically, paper prototypes and blind user testing. paper part seems to get skipped a lot. User tests shd be A/B. – 04:49 PM GMT
@deathmtn supposedly A/B stuff should involve large enough samples to be statistically significant. afaik that really can only happen … – 04:50 PM GMT
@deathmtn … in deployment, so ads are the place that gets most used, since UX A/B deployment increases dev labor load. – 04:51 PM GMT
@deathmtn in a way, your process description is like user testing sans users. so add a user testing loop and see how that goes. – 04:52 PM GMT

@arthurwyatt @deathmtn i have actually done that with scrrenies, imagemaps, and cold HTML – 05:00 PM GMT
@deathmtn start with the cats. – 05:02 PM GMT
@arthurwyatt @deathmtn yes. never show the client a near final illo comp, a scene with placeholder scoring, or UX graphics that might change – 05:03 PM GMT
@deathmtn @arthurwyatt hm, not sure i follow. trad issue is de-escalating fancy bullshit and encouraging nav persistence and order – 05:05 PM GMT
@deathmtn @arthurwyatt but in my experience much of that stemmed from designers not being computery. seems like that may no longer apply. – 05:06 PM GMT
@deathmtn @arthurwyatt flip side of that is as UX was always excluded from scope in engineering process, dev design choices were often bad. – 05:08 PM GMT
@deathmtn @arthurwyatt classic example is feature dumping where overwhelming choices for user input appear on screen at once – 05:10 PM GMT
@deathmtn @arthurwyatt or non-intuitive setting-option navigation where user must leave primary context to control output (Win, iOS, XBMC) – 05:11 PM GMT
@deathmtn @arthurwyatt that’s a standard workflow, I’d say. if it looks like the PSDs are bad UX, ask upstream if it’s being tested – 05:13 PM GMT
@deathmtn @arthurwyatt but I’d also shrug and build it. If they want to pay you to do twice as much work as might be needed, cool. – 05:14 PM GMT
this is sort of exciting. i’m going to a baseball game today and it’s the anniversary of Hank Aaron’s record. – 05:15 PM GMT
the stadium I am going to has one of the largest video screens in the world. – 05:16 PM GMT
one of my earliest baseball memories, vague and eroded in time, is watching Hank make his hit on a 12″ black and white TV. – 05:16 PM GMT
there is a non-trivial chance I will see that hit tonight in a packed stadium on a video screen larger than my childhood home. – 05:17 PM GMT

@MMFlint @madamjujujive would no cuts have stopped the rain? nope. As a local, my eye doesn’t zero in on the logging as much as the rain. – 03:06 AM GMT
