Welcome to Software Development on Codidact!

Will you help us build our independent community of developers helping developers? We're small and trying to grow. We welcome questions about all aspects of software development, from design to code to QA and more. Got questions? Got answers? Got code you'd like someone to review? Please join us.

Should we allow UI/UX questions in our community?

A significant fraction of software developers also needs to make some UI/UX-related decisions. I am wondering if we should such questions in the Software Development community.


Based on feedback for this question, I have updated What type of questions can I ask here?.

I think it should be on-topic with the following distinction:

On-topic

  • Technical questions regarding to UI, including mark-up language syntax, how to set properties in RAD tools, how to use graphic libraries etc.
  • Algorithm questions for how to draw graphics, including at some extent the math and physics behind it.

Off-topic

  • Aesthetic questions - what looks best, color choices, graphic design and similar mostly subjective questions.

Yes

I would allow UI/UX questions with some limitations. Examples:

  • on topic - UI/UX questions related to an interface that also involves some programming (e.g. web interfaces)

  • offtopic - questions about choosing fonts for banners or graffiti, color to be used in some ads etc.

UI/UX is not just "choosing fonts and colors" (1 comment)
