Great rant on #usability and #ux

@thibaultmol @TechConnectify I'm on Linux Phone, and unfortunately, there's no Home Assistant app for Linux Mobile for some reason. I get those notifications via Gotify. Though, I suppose, since it's just done with curl, I could easily make some more keys to separate them. Though, setting different sounds on Linux Mobile is VERY limited and half broken. Lost of stuff just doesn't make any sound when it should, and none of them let me use different sounds for different things.

@thibaultmol @TechConnectify But, at least at home where notifs are sounds, instead of speaking, I could have a lot of them just be unobtrusice tones. Maybe... I have to think what that will and won't work with for me. Exampe - I NEED the reminder to clean the HVAC filter to speak and be irritating, or it'll never get done.

@thibaultmol @hellomiakoda @TechConnectify this was an excellent tip. Thank you.

@TechConnectify And now I am planning to get a Pebble watch...

Really fun video. It's very interesting hearing all the ways we could use audio to make things better. I have been wanting to make my own ringtones for my phone, so it's good to keep in mind not being obtrusive. I may have to make a whole suite of notification sounds for my phone, so I can tell what app is trying to notify me.

The pebble watch seems interesting too when it comes to smart watches.

Apple pretty much literally wrote the book on Human Interface Guidelines – and then promptly threw it in the dumpster with LiquidGlass

@TechConnectify

along with the disappearing art of cellphone sound design – most phone makers have completely removed the tiny notification LED (a nice slow, unobtrusive blink when you had unread message) – Blackberry even allowed up to 7 different colors for different notifications

@lisamelton @TechConnectify I've always just understood that the 3 beeps were fire warnings. I like that you didn't demonstrate with the standard beepy sound that usually seems to go with it.

@lisamelton @TechConnectify Also, as a blind person, audible alerts are something I care a lot about. Loving watching this.
