Well I guess I'll throw my hat into the ring. I've watched the new video twice now so I have some thoughts.
Infinity New Tab
I love the Chrome/Firefox Extension "Infinity New Tab". It takes a bit of tweaking to look good, but it's absolutely pleasant for me to use with my current setup. These website icons are massive landing strips, as opposed to the tiny helipads bookmarks are.
This is my setup:
This is what it looks like by default:
The Sims 2
TS2 has my favorite game UI that I can think of. The circle launcher Ross envisioned in the video is present here, and it's contextual too. You can even Shift+Click for debug options if you enable testing cheats.
Also look at the main part of the GUI:
Notice that that buttons are sized relative to importance. And I love that it's laid out from left to right in sperate section that can grow or generate new sections next to them. Look at it in a collapsed view:
Hotkeys
I largely hate hotkeys. Ross's sentiment resonates with me. "Better learn those hotkeys. Hup hup hup" is what a lot of Adobe Premiere tutorials look like. I wish the Sonder Keyboard existed already but it looks like it's never going to come out.
I use these on the regular:
- Win+Shift+S to take screenshots. I used this one a lot while making this post.
- Alt+Tab to switch programs. Holding down Alt+Tab is actually why I don't have that big of a problem with the taskbar.
- Alt+\ is what I use on Discord to deafen myself.
- Ctrl+Shift+T to open up the tab I just closed.
Mobile UI/UX
Google copied iOS 11 when they made Stock Android 9 and they made it better. I honestly hate using Android 8 and lower thanks to Google's overhaul to the UI. Android 10 made it even better. I'll say this: I am just less frustrated when I use my Pixel than when I use my iPad. There are so many little touches that Android 10 has that it sometimes makes me feel like a "GUI Wizard" when I use it.
Alright lads I'm too tried to keep writing this. I look forward to any replies.
Edit: Spelling. Also, I'd be happy to expand on the tiny details Stock Android 10 has that make it a treat to use, and how good TS2's UI functions for what its trying to accomplish. But later...
