Self-documenting code is always a noble goal. Would love to see it realized more often!

#37

Now that the discussion is focusing more towards the UX of grid applications, shall I move all the discussion to a new topic, what do you think?
Would be better so this one can stay more generic.

#38

Fine with me. ā€¦

#39

ok since youā€™re ok with it and nobody else complained, itā€™s now a new topic!

I think I just broke my brain. The whole concept of context changing with additions to the basic grid is one that has always been there and that I have not explicitly recognized before. Ow. (Although I do admit wishing that the launchpad proā€™s circular buttons were pressure sensitive and reassignable, but thatā€™s for another topic.)

Also, would you mind terribly much if I used the phrase ā€œan onion of affordancesā€ as an album title? :slight_smile:

Ha, nope, go for it :slight_smile:

It continues to blow my mind that hardware manufacturers still donā€™t provide a mode to make everything assignable. Launch Control XL gets close with the User/Factory buttons, but thereā€™s not a mode to make those buttons themselves assignable. Onions and fractals.

bump bump. @jasonw22 did you get any further with the ux doc standard? I feel like the image from new mlr docs might be a good jumping off point now, itā€™s simple and conveys things pretty well.

Alas, I did not. Apologies! Looks like youā€™re on the right track though.

#45

These are great. What are you doing them in? Iā€™d love the files for my own purposes if youā€™re willing to share.

#46

Adobe illustrator because my graphic design training has brainwashed me. I can share that or just an svg

Iā€™d love the AI file :grinning:

I would also really like to get my hands on some grid templates.

I posted some UX graphics for my first Norns application to code review last week. I donā€™t love how they look and Iā€™d much rather use a standard grid UX template. But Iā€™d be interested to get some feedback on these diagrams and whether they were useful for navigating the app.

#49

when I get a minute Iā€™ll make an svg doc will all the separate elements I used for this, theyā€™re pretty simple and just image-traced from mlr

#50

if you accidentally make Inconsolata (I think?) the default Grid-UX font, I will be quite amused.

#51

oops spreading my #brand too far

Has anyone on here made (or considered making) a 16x8 grid rubber stampā€¦?

It would be nice to stamp grids into notebooks for designing UI.

From the limited research Iā€™ve done, 130mm x 90mm is the biggest youā€™d want to make a stamp (see largest inkpad size). Though that would be pretty perfect for use on A5 paper, or as a full page in Field Notes notebook. Only problem so far is the cost of getting one that sizeā€¦

Sorry to necro this, but I think itā€™s interesting enough

Programmer mode (hold the ā€œsetupā€ button, tap the orange key at 5, 1 [1]) on the LP Pro allows using all of the buttons/LEDs. The only thing which canā€™t be accessed in any way is the side LED - which indicates which mode youā€™re in.

Novation have actually gotten some pretty good press due to the hackability of the Pro.

I love that your footnotes are 1-based even though you roll your eyes xD

In my experience, at least, human-only text docs are 1-based. Machines seem to prefer starting from 0ā€¦ ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ
Of course, YMMV :slight_smile:
