I tried it! Good: - It is a good copy of figmas UI. With much open source software, it often seems the UI comes last in priority and interest; Penpot’s UI is well working and looks good. - Basic features are all there - The team has build a

A plausibe "big-picture" explaination is attributing it (partly) to several intertwined cultural movements, originating or being popular in California in the 60s. They focussed on individual self-improvement, particularly the huma

Not much as far as I am concerned, though the then-mentioned figma-like penpot.app/ keeps improving continously!

The challenge for end-user focussed design is that it is very resource intensive to develop parallel UIs (and for many devs they are the least fun thing to implement), whereas it is not that much of a problem to add an additional parameter

I am active on opensource design since several years. Back when we created the logo we had many discussions what would represent design well. Problem is that design often means something rather abstract and it easily leads to boxes and&#x2F

It is a great piece of code to study as a beginner. It is easy to understand, non-trivial and has an easy-to-relate-to purpose. Norvig's implementation is in python, but he links to variants in many different languages at the bottom of

A repeated topic in Agre’s writings are the practices and consequences of (computable) abstraction, which is reflected in his (and Chapman’s) AI approaches, his criticism of AI and his writings on privacy. A core claim is that engineers mak

Most what steam offers is game related, but the categories they have are rather broad, one of them being "utilities".

That is interesting. I did not read the article as a plea to avoid algorithms or 'Western culture' in general and interpreted it more as suggesting that ideas like "bias", "data" and "rationality" do

I think it is hard to overstate how impressive this is. While it aims to be well integrated in tech workflows, it is a product that allows designers to work well, with a nice, usable and useful UI. For the few designers in open source, desi
