Han's User Interface Metrics

Posted Wed, 30/07/2008 - 12:47 by angch

Random thoughts on UI design. On going. Will update as I go along.

  • Responsiveness. Give feedback in less than 100ms. More than 100ms, do it asynchronously, but don't block!

  • Minimize number of clicks to common tasks/actions. Huffman code the frequency. Dang it, adaptive markov chain. Apply statistical compression to UI actions.

  • Discoverablity. Expose actions based on context. No hidden actions.

Ajax app fail if responsiveness less than non-ajax app. Javascript and ajax meant to make things seem faster for the user, not consume my CPU and block my Firefox.
