Do you know of any good resources that discuss TUI user interaction/research?

I'm working on a new project to build some simple workflow applications for business, and one of the aspects I would like to attempt to resolve is the speed of input. It is painful watching operators work with modern GUI inputs, particularly web based as the mouse work slows them down horrendously. And keyboard 'shortcuts' where they exist are often anything but, as the entire GUI model assumes a mouse (or on the web a Document) first.

It is like you mention about this CSS library, it kind of misses the point in that the awesomeness of TUI is not in the appearance, but rather how workflows that the constraints of a keyboard-first interface enforce allow creative and highly efficient solutions.

When all you have is a mouse everything becomes a click, and that is a horrible way to input data.

You can remove the 'iCloud' notification by starting the setup for it, and then cancelling.

It's a dark pattern Apple repeats with a lot of notifications - they are not dismissible and give the appearance they are only resolvable by completing the notified request, but it actuality just starting the setup and then cancelling will resolve it.

As one of your 640 customers - thank you!

Having a lightweight reference for simple things that I only do occasionally is a godsend and a massive time saving. I can dive into Deployment from Scratch and tweak something that needs updating, or even deploy a new system in less time than it takes me to lookup and parse/refresh my knowledge from the actual documentation on most topics. And even if I do need to refer to the docs for something not in the book, it is much much quicker as I have the context already.

Do you know if this is related to why Apple’s TrueTone would make me feel nauseous too?

I’ve got a 2020 iPad Pro and was having great trouble using it until I accidentally found something online that suggest I turn of TrueTone. The effect was instantly noticeable. Before I could only look at the screen for a few minutes, now it is much more like my desktop where it takes hours to get eye strain.

Not yet, it is on the list of features to implement.

Exactly, and scale is important too. The initial target audience was small (as in very small, maybe 1-10 people) businesses, whose owners often don't intuitively understand how beneficial small services costs can be.

Thanks for the feedback.

For simplicity there are a whole host of underlying assumptions about what a work day is, what time spent means , etc.

Explaining at least some of those assumptions is on my list of improvements, but there will never be a 'correct' answer in a generic form like this. It's more intended as a quick investigation/conceptual check.

Hmm, cost of meetings (similar to training costs) is a good idea, definitely an issue I've seen before - thousands of dollars wasted arguing over $50/month for a tool.

Cheers, a few people of suggested this. As you note, it rather depends on the amortization period.

At the moment it assumes 1 year for training costs to be amortized over, so I guess one-time purchase would be similar - configurable assumptions (or at list, visibility into the assumptions) is on the list of things to do.

Hey all, thanks for the great feedback!

I submitted this just before retiring for the evening NZ time thinking not much of it, it was awesome to find this discussion this morning!

This is just an iPhone 8 mk II (it even fits 8 cases!), and that means those of us who want an actual SE replacement are now out of luck. Rather disappointing.
