I’m amazed Behringer haven’t done it yet. At their rate of production, at their price
point, platform would make so much sense: cost saving for them to create new SW for their integrated HW, AND ease life for the community of devs already building apps to replace B’s shite companion software

Ableton does better than most (API, Link, Max, etc) but it could be so much better.

… means there hasn’t been a meaningful open standard that’s seen widespread industry adoption for creators and manufacturers to get behind since MIDI. All the proprietary shit is contrary to easy collaboration.

+ how *most* industry companies do product is limited in vision and scope: initial release (proprietary tech + private / undocumented public API) >> series of minor bug fixes >> on to the next product…

Very exciting to see how you’re implementing the service standard model, even bringing the poster culture. It’s needed. 🙏 thanks for answering my q’s

Thanks for the info. I figured that might be the case for service design. I’ll keep my eye open for roles: a good reason to focus on my German in the meantime ☺️ great to know it’s closer I had expected though.

Interesting. Does your team have roles with people who don't yet speak fluent German? I have a lot of service design history—inc 🤏 with UK gov—but my German is middling, to be kind. Thanks :)

Does your team work in English or did you
translate this for Bluesky?

“without thinking”
Sometimes the brand story just writes itself.

In my experience, the most effective (*only) way to get money spenders to prioritise accessibility is to show 1) you are big enough to get sued 2) you are losing deals with institutional customers. Otherwise it’s going in version n.

On some level, all designers recognise that the only unadulterated form that remains is font design.

One of the worst things people ever did was training dogs to be cops, when cats are right there and would snitch on you for free.

Went camping in Harz, western Germany in 2022. Stayed in two villages called Sorge and Elend (worry and misery).

Yeah this has been happening for a while and it’s really concerning. UX tiger haikus sung by sexy booth babes?! It’s so weird.

It's two years since the rebrand. It's fine to just call it 'Twitter'.
