Main topic:
I would love to get both your takes on the one-hand myth that a lot of designers seem to buy-in to when designing for mobile. The myth suggests that all people use one hand to interact with their phones and so interfaces should be designed accordingly. This may have been true on the early smartphones which were smaller and where apps tended to be simpler. However, with devices getting bigger and heavier it seems like people use both hands for more complex, high-stakes tasks (buying something) and one hand for simple, low-stakes tasks (scrolling through a feed). Is this what you guys have found to be true? And is there any recent research around how people use their hands to interact with their phones?
- Luke W. writes about designing for large screen smartphones.
- Read the Material spec for bottom app bars.
- Things and Halide have great bottom oriented UIs.
Cool Things:
- Brian shared Loom, a fantastic little tool for quickly recording and sharing presentations to the cloud.
- Kap is still great.
- mmhmm looks neat, too.
- And we <3 Descript
- Marshall shared Cracking the Cryptic, a YouTube channel that gets real nerdy about sudoku. But trust us, these videos are amazing. Start with this one.
