Tip: Save your users 15+ seconds of their day

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 21:01:58 -0700

Since understanding the context is so important when designing interfaces, I wanted to point out one of those things that caused me to shake my head at.

When logging into our Basecamp account this afternoon (via openid)... I was presented the following helpful notice.

Uploaded with plasq’s Skitch!

What’s amusing in this scenario… is that I’m sure that Basecamp knows that I’m logged in via openid and it is, in fact, displaying the OpenBar across the top of the page. Yet, it’s making this helpful recommendation that I’m obviously already aware of.

What harm is there? Well, in this scenario, I caught it and thought, “wow, this isn’t helpful or informative.” Over time, it’s these short-lived experiences that affect our overall perceptions of the product.

When we’re designing and developing applications, we must be very consistent with how we communicate with our audience. We don’t need to provide them information that isn’t relevant to them.

I’m not picking on Basecamp here, I’m sure that they have great intentions with this, but as a developer, I know that it doesn’t take a whole lot of extra work to avoid small problems like this, which could lead your people to feel like you’re not being respectful of their time.

Saving customers 15-30 seconds is something that we can quantify.

100 customers = 25-50 minutes
1,000 customers = ~4-8 hours
10,000 customers = 40-80 hours
etc…

Just a little reminder that it’s easy for us to overlook things like that can make a difference.

Campfire messages in Growl

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 21:01:57 -0700

Our team has slowly been transitioning from IRC to Campfire (iPhone interface helped with this decision) for internal team discussions. Earlier today, I decided to setup Campfire to connect to Growl. There are a few scripts to do this, but I figured that I’d consolidate the steps here for my teammates and share with everyone else in the process.

Step 1: Get stuff installed

You’ll need to install the following programs on OSX.

Growl (install and run it)
Fluid.app (run a web site in it’s own desktop app)
- Follow instructions on their homepage (requires restart of Safari)

Step 2: Setup Campfire

Once you have everything installed, you can go ahead and create your Campfire Fluid application. You’ll need to provide your Campfire URL and a name for the application.

Once you get it running, you should be able to run your Campfire application in it’s own window.

Step 3: Install the Campfire Growl script for GreaseKit

Next, you’ll want to install this script, created by Tim Harper, on userscripts.org within your Campfire Fluid.app instance.

Under the Userscripts menu, you’ll see: Browse Userscripts.org.

Find your way to the script (search for: “Campfire Growl”) to find and install the script.

Once it installs, you’ll then need to activate it in the Fluid applications management interface. Within Campfire application, go to Userscripts > Manage Userscripts.

Then activate it like so:

..and that’s it! When you’re not focused on Campfire… you should see Growl notifications when other people are talking in the active room.
