Have to strongly disagree on this point. Cog¹ is my music player of choice on macOS; not only does it have a clean GUI, but it supports almost every format² I’ve ever wanted to listen to audio in, including game music in formats like GBS (Game Boy Sound System) and 2SF (Nintendo DS Sound Format).
Vox has a UI reminiscent of a Windows XP skin and gobs of macOS oddities. I feel like they're still trying to catch up to macOS UI changes from 5 years ago. Don't get me started on how inaccessible the entire interface is... They have tab bound not to focus changes but to switching the, yes, tab...
This looks interesting. Thanks for digging that up.
I've done a little video editing using Adobe Premiere (mid-2000's) and Shotcut (2022). The UI for both seemed overwrought and difficult to get what I wanted out of. A text description of timecodes and filter parameters sounds a ton easier to use.
Having said that, I assume that would exist if the market actually wanted it.
I'll check that out :) I'd be curious how well this would work without being able to see the video you're messing with (fully blind myself). Will give that a whirl.
I agree the UI for Premiere can be overwhelming to a new user. Also, the keyboard shortcuts are clearly assigned by engineers and not editors.
When I switched from tape-to-tape editing to NLEs in 2005, I started a new keyboard shortcut layout that was more intuitive, and was all on the left side of the keyboard, allowing the right hand to never have to leave the mouse.
I made a tutorial teaching Premiere by way of these shortcuts (although these shortcuts work on just about every NLE, with slight variations). The tutorial is long, but if you just go through the first part, explaining each shortcut, you can get pretty far along learning how to edit with Premiere.

“We are proud to announce that starting the firmware version 0.82, your Flipper Zero's battery life will last up to 1 month! It took us 2 years to resolve all firmware issues that prevented Flipper Zero from switching to power-saving mode, resulting in the same power consumption baseline in both idle and active states. As a result, Flipper Zero's battery life was approximately 1 week instead of the intended 1 month.”
> You can provide a more helpful error message by explicitly informing the user that the username they typed exists but they haven't offered the correct password for it.
The parent poster already addressed that though:
“If you mistype your username, you might have entered another, existing username. Just telling the user 'wrong password' will mean they are less likely to check that the username was correct.”
If you inform the user the username they typed exists, the chance of them not thinking about double-checking they didn’t mistype their own username increases.
"telling the user that the username they typed exists, but they haven't offered the correct password for it" - is extremely different from Just telling the user 'wrong password'. It's different because it provides more information
>If you inform the user the username they typed exists, the chance of them not thinking about double-checking they didn’t mistype their own username increases.
That seems to be a user problem first of all, because it's based on the user's mistaken belief about the uniqueness of usernames. If possible, it would be best to help the user understand this.
