Config 2024: Serious play (Andy Allen, Software Designer, !Boring) How video games inspire better software. Featuring: Andy Allen, Software Designer, !Boring
Wow what an eye opening and inspiring keynote, as a graphics designer in my final year at uni I got the opportunity to learn so many designers work; this inspires me to focus on one designer’s traits and make it an anchor to excel and explore. For me it’s Achille!
Wow. Just wow. It’s going to take me days to think about this. Funny enough I’m reading a book by psychologist Susan David and my current take away is not default, like !default. A happy serendipitous “accident”. Love it. Mind blown. I’m getting all of those apps.
Figma's new scrolling behavior is frustrating. The old way, where scrolling moved the page and zooming required Ctrl + scroll, was intuitive and efficient. The current system is redundant and feels clunky.
First, I don't think "boring" is a problem need to be solved. Second, this design is relyed on your skill background, as you are from a game design background, so you think gamification is charming. But from visual and usage, they are equal. I don't think it improve a lot experience. and We are human, we don't live on screen. We just need to get quick information and then experience the real world, such as the sunny weather.
@@AscendFKit great that there’s somewhere designers actually taking risks and doing something interesting before are just hating because they are used to the same boring minimalist software everytime
The apps are fine, but the presentation felt off, exactly as if he were defending a college project, so I'll agree with you there. He didn't sound excited at all. Ironically, his tone is boring and confusing, while the ideas are solid and inspiring.
