Counter question: How many times do you read your downloaded app?

If this is true... (?) I wonder how many are aware of that? I wasn't.

The difference between an interface designer and a user is: 1. The designer knows many opinions (and due to being exposed to an avalanche of user feedback over the years you really…

Well, in contrast to Tufte, I actually have built a couple of Interfaces...

Tufte's site is s piece of crap, completely ridiculous. Criticizing websites is easy, making websites is hard. You're not an expert in user interface design if you haven't done use…

Thanks. 1. I've been talking about reading typography for a long time and just got curious about what writing typography could be like. 2. Was always jealous of those amazing codin…

1. Those programs exist because there is a need to get out of the mess that Word is. 2. Programmers do have amazing apps, writers don't. 3. Fullscreen is not the solution to absenc…

And then there is that black thing that puts it at an angle...

"I don't own an iPad" — but you know better than those who have used it for hours and hours ( http://twitter.com/#!/iA/favorites )...

Maybe you should actually try the app before you judge it. There are better and there are worse tools to work with, believe it or not. Besides Burroughs there are literally hundred…

You'd be surprised.

Yes. Barthes discerns between texte lisibles (readable) and texte scriptible (writable). Which was one of the inspirations to switch our focus from readablity to writability and cr…

The article is from 2006, man.

1. Typohiles are megalomanics 2. We should read minds, but that would be megalomaniac 3. Let's just be a user then No. Users are people with an opinion. User experience designers a…

This shocked a lot of flash boys and neck beards back in 2006. But nowadays... Luckily, I had a chance to prove it many times.

Yes, we will. Hopefully before Christmas. BTW: We're looking for Cocoa developers... http://www.informationarchitects.jp/en/work-ia/

It's not about reading, it's about writing. Many measures in writer came from studying coding programs.

The idea of using a monospaced font was to invite the writer to conscious slowness. Reading typography needs speed and ease, writing needs care and precision.

It's not ironic, it's conscious. The typewriter was the blue print for the app. It was supposed to be called writing machine (from German Schreibmaschine = typewriter).

What's the difference between coding and writing a careful solid consistent text?

It's called calibration.

It says: "To find your average reading time all you need is taking a two minute test reading into one of the texts in the app and you’re set."

Did you read the full article? Doesn't seem like it, since "it requires a designer who's execution is better than average" is exactly what it says. And not just that, it also defin…

So you're saying "I don't use facebook but I am sure they did their research, therefore it's perfect as it is." Seriously? The reason why the search is on the bottom is exactly bec…
