I don't think this is what really matters at the end, since whatever is the implementation the goal should be to provide a library that people actually like to use.

There is a usability problem here, it's basically impossible to read the output of Time#inspect in such a case, even though the input was readable.

Therefore, it’s not so much that an appealing design makes an interface more effective, but that itmakes humans more effective. Thus, the human and the computer function better as a whole.This relationship between interface attractiveness and improved usability is known as theaesthetics-usability effect.

This has a usability impact. From a purely "secure all the things" standpoint, you should absolutely take the above approach but there will inevitably be organisations that are reluctant to potentially lose the registration as a result of pushing back

quick and dirty usability testing
This page has an irritating pop-up ad as well as quite a bit of images that surround the text. Nonetheless, it offers tips and techniques for making sure that usability testing gets done at some level and can be done by the average person who may not have time, money, or a lab. Rating 2/5

Distance Education Trends: Integrating new technologies to foster student interaction and collaboration
This article explores the interaction of student based learner-centered used of technology tools such as wikis, blogs and podcasts as new and emerging technology tools. With distance learning programs becoming more and more popular, software applications such as Writeboard, InstaCol and Imeem may become less of the software of choice. The article looks closely at the influence of technology and outcomes.

I wish there were a way to see comments "in-context" directly next to the sentences they relate to. There's a lot of disconnection between content and commentary having it in the side-bar and not having the text highlights numbered to match the annotation areas. Also is there any way to get an overview of all comments on the page summarized or ranked in some way?

Peter Steen Høgenhaug conducted a test to measure how people understand icons of a CMS editor. The result: the widely used 'insert link’ icon was understood only by 35% of the participants, even the classic 'undo’ and 'redo’ icons were only recognized by half of the participants
Amazing result!

The story of the Microsoft Outlook toolbar: until labels were added to the icons, non-expert users didn’t use the toolbar’s buttons at all (with the exception of the ‘Delete’ icon). Then “Different fixes were tried: new icons, rearrangement of the icons, positioning icons under the menus from which the commands came from. In the end, one change caused a total turnaround: labeling the important toolbar buttons. Almost immediately, the toolbars were a big hit and everyone at all skill levels started using them.”
Pretty spectacular result!

When considering an overlay, lightbox, or modal window, ask yourself the following questions: Who is the target audience? What action is the user supposed to take? When will the overlay appear, and will it be an interruption? Where will the overlay appear on the page? Why does this need to be in an overlay instead of within a page?

Group name shows on cards
Perhaps
"{user} for {group} on {doc_title}"and"{user} for {group}"in the sidebar. -
leave a group
Does "leaving" amount to "unsubscribing"? Such that, leaving a group simply means it won't:
- show up in your sidebar/stream content
- won't send you email for additions in that group
- won't be in your list of groups to publish into
I.e. if I wanted back in, I could find that email with the invite link and re-join (or perhaps there's UI that let's me re-join past groups).
