About barelyusable

Barely Usable was created in 2015 based on the belief that the design and construction of usable products is extremely difficult and that the only way to learn usability engineering is to look, notice, and criticize usability problems and suggest possible solutions. The domain of usability has been well known for years, yet the awareness of its importance has been scarce. Barely Usable is meant to be a website where enthusiasts of user interface, user experience and human-computer interaction can collaborate on coming up with new and better solutions, making the world easier to use. We hope that gathering every resource together will help you develop the level of sensitivity necessary for creating usable objects. Barely Usable is brought to you by the founding team of Barvoy Inc.

    Ask HN: Who has the best screaming vocal in music nowadays?

    I discovered Devin Townsend and I love the use of contrast, especially during acoustic contracts. Reminds me Slipknot. What are you recommendations for more artists like that?

    I'd not mind frying some meats on a grill and celebrating, if anyone in Bay Area is interested. Having some Oxide folks would be awesome.

    It looks nice, but.... Failed companies would be much more interesting. Everyone knows the successful companies.
