i wonder why tech companies in current year fail to understand what makes their product good or bad
cars are built wrong
software is built wrong
ux is built wrong
just a quick simple ux tips for any tech company:
avoid any user interaction that is not necessary for the core functionality of your product
prefer ease of use over complicated settings or data collection
no, you do not need to kyc to build a good product. in fact a product that does not ask all kinds of information from user is a better product
what microsoft, apple and 99 % of other software and/or hw companies dont understand

here is a tip for ux devs in 2023:

instead of

add credit card details
press buy
confirm password
click to download
play
app is only available for android and ios, we are sorry for inconvenience
there is a tendency in technology industry to keep making things more difficult
how to change this course?

there is a gap between what software users want and what software devs provide
what software users want: open source software that meets quality expectations
what devs provide:
a) closed source software that meets some of quality expectations
b) open source software that contain bugs or is missing features
of which neither is what users want
should we build cryptocurrency wallet directly into linux distributions?
i mean, highly integrated wallet for low fee cryptocurrency that actually works for micropayments
why?
one click -> donate to app dev
one click -> donate to app dev, leave feedback
donation amounts can give priority order to bug reports
#linux #donations #commission #fee #payments #crypto
how do we deploy payment models into oss, where cryptocurrency is not involved by default?
how do we provide incentive for open source devs to keep software up to date, and working across many linux distributions?
1) open source is winner, when there are devs who actively improve the software
2) there are not enough voluntary software devs
we need solutions to keep software open, but still get devs incentivised

nostr:note1d75pzrnvegc2vsepu0pmcrzm37g8l7rhnju2hlc8xcarlxc4x0psr4ct5x
is commissioned open source software solution when we want transparent software, where we know what the software is doing, where the software is built for the user, and where the quality exceeds proprietary closed source software?
asgardex is open source software which has implemented such model
it takes 0.1 % fee for crypto swaps, even though it is free and open source software
anyone could build their own version with this fee part removed, but when the fee is reasonable, there may not be need
https://github.com/asgardex/asgardex-desktop
this model is easy to deploy on software that is related to cryptocurrencies, but linux and open source scene could benefit a lot from such model. many times voluntary projects contain bugs and issues that remain there years
we need to step up open source scene with models that give better incentives for developers
well #primal was fooled

some web.csv.gz cleaning
also parser should work better now
#webcsv
local #searchengine on your browser
search queries are not sent anywhere. it just downloads search database first
crawl your own search database, instructions for linux
#webcsv #search #imagesearch new link format, works better with nostr clients
