@mhoye@mastodon.social I still remember the Hypercard stack that came with my first Mac that goes through things like point, click, drag, feed the fish. Big paper manuals full of screenshots were also a thing and they assumed far less familiarity with operational concepts. These days I feel like I could use one of those just to know what capabilities have been hidden behind invisible gestures.

@neal@social.typica.us @mhoye@mastodon.social and all those resources taught you to use a UI that was shared by all the apps you had - nowadays every app and web site seems to want to invent their own so they can use their favourite colours. And then changes it every few years. Users just seem resigned to being lost 🤷
