The breadcrumb serves two purposes; firstly it gives users a sense of where they are in a site’s structure, helping them to never feel lost or disoriented. Which leads to the second purpose, to always provide them with a path home. The first of these is done entirely visually, you don’t need to click on the breadcrumb or interact with it in any way in order to help orient yourself. https://andybeaumont.com/post/2009-08-26-convert-design-evolution-video/ Wed, 26 Aug 2009 08:39:00 +0000 https://andybeaumont.com/post/2009-08-26-convert-design-evolution-video/ Really interesting video charting the design evolution of the iPhone app Convert by tap tap tap. Lovely to see the iterations gone through and the design decisions being made along the way. Especially interesting is how much more usable this ends up than the pretty but woeful ConvertBot. https://andybeaumont.com/post/2008-12-11-photo-post/ Thu, 11 Dec 2008 15:13:00 +0000 https://andybeaumont.com/post/2008-12-11-photo-post/ Worst. Logo. Ever. And still no support for OpenDocument, a ratified ISO standard since 2006, but proudly supporting Word's de facto .doc format and still using another new proprietary format? Shame on you Apple.
