So you could try grouping icons into sections, labeling the sections, and then clearly delineating the space between said sections. For example, you could have small text in all bold and all caps as the section title. Another user suggested using text with the icons, which is good for accessibility. Also, looking at the first screenshot in your Github, you could completely merge the left icon only nav with the nav directly to its right. This could result in saving some space.
Also, if you really wanted to, you could move back to a more traditional top menu where you have the section title, mousing over the section would open a menu (what is now your icons), and then if needed you could have a submenu underneath (what is your left nav with the words in your first Github photo). Discoverability would potentially take a hit but it's a different way of doing it.
If you have any other questions feel free to reach out, I like doing this stuff.
Edit: Another user suggested using AI enhanced chat to navigate around. This is a sign that the information architecture is WAY too confusing. AI agents shouldn't be utilized for navigation purposes.
As a UX person, this is the type of stuff I love to see posted here. So many people don't understand how atrocious the UX is in non-sexy career tracks such as manufacturing. One question I have is how users have reacted to your leftmost nav bar. 13 icons is a lot, do you show them all at one time, or do they dynamically appear based on the user role of the person who's logged in at the time?
>It would be great to see the industry refocus on products that are designed to be consumed in moderation.
I feel that the legal weed industry is speedrunning the past decade of craft brewing. Craft beer focused on growing the scene while focusing on higher and higher ABV beers, but now is transitioning back towards beers that are a bit more sessionable and don’t get you blasted after 2 beers. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the weed industry start focusing on sessionable items sooner rather than later.
I wish Ford the best of luck. The last time I worked at Ford AV, there wasn't a clear sense of direction after the initial kickoff project that was done to publicize Argo's AV chops. Hopefully this will have a better ending than that initial attempt.
This article might as well have a subtitle of "Damn, I really hate Elon and all his stupid fanboys". I think this is the line that made me roll my eyes the most:
A fun irony here is that the Cybertruck's evident frailty as a heavy-duty utility vehicle will disqualify it, absolutely, in the eyes of the median American pickup-truck buyer
The median American pickup truck buyer isn't the target audience. The audience are techies who want to drive something that doesn't look like anything else on the road while still sitting up high so they're on eye level with the aforementioned American pickups.
Not surprising. If you can work remotely and are fed up with local/state/both parts of California government, why not move to the Tahoe/Reno area and enjoy zero income tax, lower sales tax, and potentially cheaper housing prices and the corresponding lower property taxes? I last lived in Northern Nevada in 2016 and the stream of California "refugees" was always a constant topic.
Thanks for the link. I was hoping that someone was going through and cataloging as much of the Titanic as possible. Hopefully we get to the point where we can turn drones loose to explore the ship as much as possible before it degrades.
I'm curious, how did you find a condotel to buy into? This is the first I've heard of something like this, and I live in a pretty touristy area of Florida.
The clip seemed pretty mild to me? Basically says that he wants to do the joke, but it got no laughter, so he's not doing it. You can see worse on an anonymous Twitter feed.
How well would this work in a hot, humid environment? He mentions that having a vent at the bottom is essential for getting cooler air in which makes sense, but I live in a place where it's also very humid.
A Barnes & Noble near my parents moved from their original space at one end of the mall to the other end. This new space is smaller than their original space by about half or two thirds. While they have fewer materials on the shelves (and fewer shelves), it seems more lively than the original spot did, probably because there's fewer space for the number of people who go there. I bet that the company would see that as a fair tradeoff.
I feel the same way, yet I see what's happening in Canada as a very slippery slope. At what point is it suggested not because it's what's best for the patient, but because the government wants to save a few bucks?
