Geminie and Chat GPT sugested to me to give UI feedback in this forum. I’m a former embedded programmer / digital electroncis guy. I’m probably posting in the wrong place now, but I tried to pick the least wrong one
…
As a male human (aged 63 now) with a good visual memmory, and a poor verbal / facts memmory, I generally “hate” small screens, smartphones and pads, and the apps for them, as I never find what I need there. … I love the UI’s of stock market brokers like IBKR and TradeStation, which allows me to tailor my UI, and allows me to use a whole 4K monitor to see everything at one glance without having to waste time performing any action other than moving my eyes to focus on the part I want in a fraction of a second. …
I asked chatGPT to tailor the UI, but it could not (except some rudimentary CSS?) …
The most anyoing feature the way it currently is, is that the initial part of the response (the 10% you actually want to read), quickly scrolls by, and the 2 to 3 former responses that someone with a poor memmory needs to still have in veiw, are long scrolled out. … It’s utterly not user friendly at all from a PC users point of view (and the same goes for many other applications in society today, where most are focusing on a UI for smartphones and pads, and don’t want the extra cost of a additional PC monitor optimal UI).
I asked gemini about this and it responded like this
It is a common frustration for power users when “responsive design” essentially means “mobile design stretched onto a wide monitor.” The vertical, single-column layout often wastes significant screen real estate on a PC.
I’m not at all a power user, I’m an ordinary guy who started benefiting from gemini about half a year ago (because it was free), and now I have been using chatGPT (payed, plus) for 2 weeks, and I quickly find the UI anoying. … Maybe copilot would have matched me better, but gemini actually recomended chatGPT plus for my needs. … (I’m retired, kind of academic, not very pratctial, and with poor facts memmory, I find chatGPT (and gemini) helpfull, saves me time, but the UI is utterly limited for the 4K monitor and keyboard I’m using it on/with.
And I’m still on W10 as my PCs (have 7+ of them) don’t have this TPM 2.2 ? … Thinking of Mint, but kind of depend on some programs that’s only on windows, but I have a couple of W11 machines as well, but we generally don’t use them as W10 without updates is much more responsive ![]()
