The simple ways to manage a names database

This is one of those instances (like fully accessible design) that businesses have to let go of some things that they've prioritized and built entire machines around.

Why building out the full name pattern is the exception

A little realism about design software

I consider design architecture to be the suite of ready-set tools a designer can turn to in order to work in brand. To get the full spectrum of what's being designed, it takes multiple softwares with different focal points. Design systems and riffpoints architecture are hamstrung by design

Accessibility for every sightedness

The answer is NOT to give up and shove non-standard sight into an informational abyss, citing survival of the fittest and financial viability. That’s an asshole move. We are experts, not selfish idiots with a death wish for others.

Potential interface

This has not made it into a development cycle yet. It's been approached and then set aside for budget reasons. Note that there is a significant potential for updates on this particular piece.

Presets

At this moment in time, we are currently spending a good chunk of resources on producing light and dark modes for our interfaces.

Referential code

In all of these, remember first and foremost: we are transferring information. If decisions in the riffpoints architecture at any point disrupt the potential transfer of information, we are failing. Information transfer affects society. Consider an art project if you found something interesting that disrupts information transfer and you can&

Additional interface nuance

The big pieces of the interface – the ones users will focus on and likely conceptualize as the key experience – are further supported. These are objects that support the logic, but users are less likely to key into as characterizing the interface.

Offer as a substitute interface

People are used to advanced searches. In some sectors, it’s so expected that not having one is tantamount to hanging a sign, “we’re not serious or knowledgable”.

Focus inclusion to current use

The boxed sets are more information, which means a higher cognitive load. They also require more of a footprint.

Enable any available metadata

Once the logic for shifting from “Include” to “Prioritizable” is available, it’s another stemming search to add an unexposed filter.
