mirap··on Undiscoverable UI Madness
Nope. It's more about educating users about some basic concepts of the OS.
mirap··on Undiscoverable UI Madness
A "research" with only 3 users? Meh.
mirap··on Tailwind UI
UX designer here! Tailwind is great piece of work and I'd recommend it for validating MVPs and building new projects in general.

Reasons:

- Its constrains and whitespaces are well made, if kept untouched, the result may be good, even if build by dev with no design skills.

- Elements are containing what's necessary, but no more. No unnecessary tooltips etc.

- All elements have clear basic states (see https://tailwindui.com/components/application-ui/forms/input...)

Does anyone know what's the reason for such redirect? Does it mean, they don't want to maintain web page of discontinued product and do this to avoid 404 or redirect to homepage?
mirap··on Show HN: Subtitles for theatre
Hi, "surtitles" are subtitles shown in theatre shows and opera. Its key goal is to increase accessibility of performances, mainly for foreign speakers and visitors with reduced hearing. This app not only resolves the pain of creating and translating surtitles, but also allows screen subtitles (also) into mobile devices. Screening to projection can be adjusted in multiple different ways (colors, fonts, positions, ...).

Main competitive solution now is PowerPoint.

I'd be glad for your suggestions and recommendations. Thanks! ;]

mirap··on Where will UX Design be in 5 years?
It's setting of roles, as UX is no longer a one-person business (as you say).
mirap··on Where will UX Design be in 5 years?
/I am UX designer/

UX is becoming more differentiated, more different UX roles and positions will occur:

UX Researcher - is already there

IA Architect - will be more common

UX Analyst - is collecting and interpreting data from Keboola-like tools (or "Hadoop-based" tools collecting data about user base), providing additional data to UX researcher

"Prototyper" - coder responsible for technical clarity of coded prototypes and their preparedness to be inherited into production

UX designer - responsible for synthesizing data from research and applying them into the product/service in proper context; preferably a people-person, as he/she connects all other sides
