Phoenix 1.18 is going to ship with support for daisyui.com. I wonder if upgrading might be a good opportunity for Keila to switch to daisyUI as well. Spruce up the UI a bit, simplify the markup, and finally add support for light mode.

Do any of you have thoughts on daisyUI?

I teach undergrads at a prestigious programme in a research university. Most of my students don't know how to copy a file from a folder to another on their computer. I teach computer-based skills and it's often a source of grief and self doubt to these able, confident, well off young people. On a few occasions, of tears.

My mother, disabled and with a mental health condition, has dropped out from her #cancer treatment because she wasn't able to get through the ticketing system at the reception of the hospital. She lived in the capital, had a caring daughter available on the phone, and a network of support.

I just got a glimpse of the #autism treatment in the #Netherlands, a progressive country with high digital literacy. Autism diagnosis requires a referral from a GP, but the GP does not necessarily know much about autism and autism treatment centers are extremely specific about what needs to be mentioned in the referral. I am told that many autistic people have difficulty making phone calls. The autism diagnosis and treatment facility can only be contacted by phone. The waiting time for appointment is 30 weeks and, when the appointment takes place and your case turns out to differ in any way from what your uninformed GP has written in the referral, your case gets rejected and you have to get a new referral and start again. The GP could get instructions from the treatment center via a dedicated system called zorgmail, but neither side knows how to use it. If you manage to log into the online appointment system that is, which does not work and has no contact information to any support. I, a numerate computer nerd who enjoys puzzles, needed three days to crack it.

What is this micro-blog about?

☠️ #uxdesign saves lives ⛑️

🏥 #uxdesign should be obligatory in the process of #patient intake and journey 💉

👧 Digital medical services should be accessible to teenagers with confidence issues and elderly people terrified by a terminal diagnosis. 👴 🤰 👨‍🦯

#UXDesign is in disarray. The idea of design-for-use has been replaced with design-for-sales, and its incentives (make more features so that you have more shit to sell) don't align with user-centered work and #UserResearch.

In this issue, I investigate the ground-level view of how this happened and how to stop it.

At the root of design's crisis is an incentives crisis throughout tech. But we have tools that let us cut through the magical thinking of feature factories - if we're willing to use them.

I started 2025 unemployed and have been looking for work since Jan 1. Figured it couldn't hurt to see if anyone here might know of something.

🌐 I am a UX/UI designer with a passion for crafting easy-to-use interfaces and user-centered digital experiences that help people work better. Committed to delivering impactful visuals that align with brand guidelines and drive business goals.

⭐ I value work/life balance, cross-functional collaboration (I play well with engineers!), and projects that drive meaningful and positive impact.

This week's newsletter is inspired by the first female winner of the Nobel Prize in economics, for debunking the ecofascist "tragedy of the commons" theory.

Elinor Ostrom's understanding of the social system that manages a common resource is critical for making trade-offs in our own work, which can build - rather than burn - trust.

You'll never be able to make effective trade-offs without thinking holistically about the entire system, and the other people within it

Next week at work is "Fix, Hack, Learn" week, where we get a whole week to pretty much work on whatever we want.

So, I'm thinking of using my week to do two things:

1) Create a set of posters to promote @Mastodon

2) Contribute in some way to @Tusky - either creating a set of Figma files and making some suggestions to tidy up the design of the app, or see if i can suggest solutions to some open tickets on GitHub.

I mostly lurk around but occasionally I post some stuff
