| Hey, I'm the author of this small post. I was surprised to see it on HN. > The issue is that browser and certain apps are available to me on the phone instantly. I think you are right, and it has to do with decreasing UX friction: quick unlocks, overall performance, and muscle memory. I try to add some layers of friction, such as disabling tap to wake, or forcing password unlocks, or even browsers that offer a good but less smooth experience (eInkBro on Android could be one to try. Overall, I think it helps me to go through apps occasionally and ask myself, “Is it an infinity app? Could I use this forever without content exhausting itself, or a purpose never being fulfilled?” It's a demanding exercise in deliberate usage, and it can't always succeed (at least for me, I'm not that strong.) I wish there were a good AOSP eInk phone to still use all the necessary everyday apps, but slower. The new Assistive Access simplified display mode seems very interesting on iOS from a UX perspective: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/05/apple-previews-live-s... |
