Interesting decision to have zero images of the new design on the landing page. Could you share why you decided this way?

Why do entrepreneurs NOT use ready-made forum softwares like this to start startups? Clever use of general tools like this (maybe not specifically Flarum) can help them launch communities or marketplaces in less than a day. Is it as optimal as a in-house built forum? No. Should they be saving time on reinventing the undifferentiated code part so that they can test the core business concept and build out their differentiated networks of users? Yes.

No. From Monterey to Ventura, they changed checkboxes to switches, which they explicitly recommend against in their Human Interface Guidelines.

Having said, I don't think 100% consistency is a useful goal anyway. The Ventura design is usable, and the guideline is useful. Gap between the two can be operational "debt" (like technical debt) which is not theoretically ideal, but practically useful to keep making/shipping progress.

Programmatic land grabs like this is why people today must suffer from lack of remaining .com domain names.

Nothing wrong with the writer of this post. I think this is a rational behavior that should be considered "expected". Whoever designed domain name registration/ownership model is to blame for failing to create a system which can efficiently give right domain names to people who actually need them and can use them for good (aka actually hosting businesses or contents instead of scalping).

This.

I never understood MFAs. In terms of ability to "log back in", it creates more "weakest links", where failure of one can lock me out of all.

Most consumers don't, but I use 3+ phones at a time, picking up whichever one has battery and is near me, and replace phones multiple times a year. MFAs and similar "future-looking" security solutions seem to target majority cases, whereas I think such security solutions need to support edge cases.

Currently, my best guess is magic links where I can set aliases like "this particular email" to be the source of truth, such that I can lose a device or two and still access the email, and still replace entire email if email is compromised (or regularly, just for best practice). But definitely does not feel satisfying...

Big respect for experts who are thinking about this problem day and night to solve it for the humankind. Seems hard and is definitely critically important!

A professional medical doctor will make more medical mistakes than I will.

Let us try our best to treat them charitably, forgive the mistakes we see, and provide input to help them do their work even better!

I had success working with Design/UX or any other specialists acknowledging that they spent more time thinking about it than I have, and that, of course, they will be the final decision makers on whether to accept or reject any inputs I give, before providing any feedback or ideas I have. Also, taking the attitude, not of "Let me teach you X", but of "Teach me whether you considered X and, if you have, why you haven't tried X yet".

I once shipped a new product, and was surprised to receive no negative feedback from users regarding content quality.

Happens out, UX team placed the "Send Feedback" button below the infinite scroll content feed.

For humans, probably better done via word cooccurence on Wikipedia, or, to make it much easier, give two Wikipedia articles and pick which has more of the word.

When the writer says friendships, I believe the writer means communities, such as community of place.
