My OperaUsability Hacks & Sweet As Sugar Design
Monday, April 4, 2005 1:51:22 AM
Over in my other blog, I've been experimenting with a neat little server side trick that amps up data entry several fold.
It works around the drag and drop idea, using hyperlinks to convey information. That's smart! It ties in with using RDF to describe remote URLs, and lets the user get loads of results into forms without typing a thing.
It works better than the humble checkbox, because checkboxes are such small click targets, and it eliminates a lot of the problems with typos: the only data the user manipulates is already provided by the system.
There's also my rant on useable lists that don't frustrate.
Finally: Chrissie is maturing as a designer, check out some of her work. Clean, sexy, and most of all... good!
