Working on https://fevela.me, https://nstart.me, https://njump.me, https://oracolo.me and other inspiring nostr projects. I love to build helpful things that people are pleased to use, mixing tech, design, usability and accessibility.

This child was literally two meters away from the kids who were happily risking their necks by throwing themselves down a slope on a board - a forbidden dream with easy appeal. It is therefore easy to imagine how that thing he has in his hands irremediably numbs the brain. image Before even creating good software, it would actually be a good idea to investigate the benefits of going without digital devices, at least from time to time. And before teaching it to the younger generation, we need to learn it ourselves.

I really don't want to trash open source projects, but. I'm trying to convert the Bitcoin foldable to Scribus, as suggested, to easily manage translations. I set up the canvas, drew a rectangle... and after of 10 minutes clicking around I was still unable to find how to change the color. I felt quite stupid. So I searched and: C'mon, guys! If we want open source to win, we should drastically improve the user experience with a stronger and more effective collaboration between developers and UI/UX designers. If you are a great open source developer, beg a good designer to join your project, please. This will probably make the difference between software that can leave its mark and evolve, becoming known and used by the general public, and a niche project used by a few tireless admirers of free software. If you are a designer and you are devoting all your energy to pushing sales for dubious companies, please consider sharing some of your skills/time for something that can be truly useful to humanity, and beg an open source developer to accept your support. Recognizing that we need to improve and cheerfully begging each other seems to be the solution. View quoted note →

Since now I'm a two-columns maxi, I have just added in fevela.me the option to resize the ratio between the columns by dragging the central handle:
