Hello.

Florian Rogner
Whether it’s determining if a design might paint you into a corner when things begin to scale or how best to code a new feature out, getting help saves time and money. Don’t be afraid to reach out to teams with specialized experience, whether in the form of production work or introductory consulting.

    Florian Rogner Nice piece about how to dig into responsive web design. It might also be interesting for people who practice RWD already.

Florian Rogner recommended Vision from dcurt.is:
This is a deeply technical problem and it's also a deeply social problem. This is the kind of problem that Facebook, our culture and our community, are uniquely built to work on. And we look forward to continuing to do it and to sharing what we come up with with all of you.

That’s why I avoid teaching the term ’UX.’ It means too many things to too many different people. Instead I focus on individual skills. Once you understand the individual skills, you can assemble them into a composite system without blurring them together. For software design, the core skill among all user-facing concerns is user interface design.

    Florian Rogner Very nice piece about the terms UX and UI.

There is a very real problem that needs to be solved here. We need mechanisms in HTML that clearly and unambiguously enable developers to add richer, more meaningful semantics—not pseudo semantics—to their markup. This is perhaps the single most pressing goal for the HTML 5 project.

    Florian Rogner Classic. This piece is about semantics in general an - in more detail - about semantics in HTML5. Discussions are endless and even though interesting.

Style is a matter of taste. Capability and clarity are not. They are more objective. That person standing at the edge of the chasm cares more about accomplishing their task than the details of the decor.

    Florian Rogner Nice one about UI. In my honest opinion he is totally right.

I would claim that most of the people on Instagram have at least once downloaded a movie, a mp3, or in any other way violated copyright law. Many probably do it rather regularly. And most of them probably, consciously or unconsciously, are supporters of a more relaxed, less strict copyright law.

    Florian Rogner Somehow a strange argument but the overall meaning is correct.

The web is a big and varied place. To assume that someone else has read something just because you’ve read it is foolish. How do we learn about these resources? When do we all decide that we’re all going to read these particular sites and articles so that we’re all equally informed?

While Gizmodo remains on the non-grata list, Apple has opened its inner circle to select bloggers, Gruber chief among them. His bare-bones site consists mainly of links to other articles with a few sentences of commentary, along with the occasional lengthier analysis on topics such as screen resolution.

I thus strongly recommend getting the basic design right in the first place, before you launch, so that it can live for several years with minor updates. Before you release anything to customers, use techniques such as rapid iterative design and paper prototypes to thoroughly explore the design space and polish the usability.

So we decided to go all-in and buy a small, non-controlling, non-voting slice of The Starter League. This isn’t the kind of tech investment that you’re used to reading about. We’re not looking to get out, we’re looking to stay in. We’re investing because we want to help these guys build the best place to learn how to ship software and build profitable software businesses. No school like this exists, but it will. The Starter League will be this school.

    Florian Rogner Cool story. It is awesome to hear that some people do invest because they really like the idea and believe in what those people do!

You could sum up Jason Fried's philosophy as "less is more." Except that he hates that expression, because, he says, it still "implies that more is better." Fried prefers "less is less."

For me, I find myself using these nearly featureless apps more often when I'm on my iPhone and iPad. I want something that opens immediately and starts doing what it's supposed to do without any additional taps.

    Florian Rogner Often said but still true. I think that this approach also works well for Mac Apps (e.g. iA's Writer)

“The goal of the future is full unemployment, so we can play. That’s why we have to destroy the present politico-economic system.” This may sound like the pronouncement of some bong-smoking anarchist, but it was actually Arthur C. Clarke, who found time between scuba diving and pinball games to write “Childhood’s End” and think up communications satellites.

Trying to picture notional systems with several levels is like thinking three moves ahead in chess. Everybody believes that they can, but only a few skilled people really can do it. If you doubt this, prove me wrong by telling me what is in each file menu in your browser…

    Florian Rogner I actually really enjoy organizing my files but what Oliver says in this – Essay - seems to be quite right. One problem: Moving Documents between applications. iCloud isn't there yet…
