The article could have been more useful if its point was just 'use sufficient contrast'. As it is, the article is overly prescriptive, and feels like trying too hard to be sensational or cute.


Maybe the author is not that informed?

I have 14 years' experience in designing web and mobile applications end-to-end. I am very strong in both UX and UI, and I specialize in founding design at startups where I own everything design.

I work with the founders, product managers and engineers, juggling usability, UI visuals, tight time-lines, and engineering constraints to take products from 0 to 1. I'm very comfortable doing things that don't scale to launch the MVP, and also establishing systems and workflows to grow the product.

Reduce it to the size of iPhone 5 and make the main camera flush with the surface, and I'll buy it in a heartbeat.

So, for which project are you hiring?


If there’s any uncertainty, adding labels, icons, or textures to each meaningful color of your design will make it accessible to many more people…

The author touches upon it; expanding on it would take another full-length article.


Thank you for SumatraPDF. I love that it's faster than any other PDF/ebook viewer I tried. I hate that EPUB content doesn't flow fluidly, which IMO defeats the purpose of the format, and that there is no way to customize its look in the advanced settings, because of which I couldn't use it to read ebooks.


One can try to make 'me things', and strive to make them good enough, or good, or even to their best extent, but not necessarily the best out there, at least always.
