Usability Jargon
Nielsen Norman Group have a new report out - 10 Best App UIs
It's worth a read, if only to escape the usual web echo-chamber for a bit. I had never heard of half the apps in the report and some of them are solving quite complex problems.
I did find something amusing though. The list of "Best Practices" on that page is so full of jargon. I can't be the only one seeing the delicious irony in usability best practices having such jargon-tastic titles, such that they become highly unusable.
Or did I just discover a universe-ending paradox?
Probably not, and there probably isn't a short, plain English equivalent for something like Progressive Disclosure.
