User experience

Hobby projects that are in some way related to UX. Some are just concept designs, others serve a purpose.

Desktop browser

Desktop browsers have evolved a lot over the years, but they still waste the screen space with huge toolbars and elements the user does not always need. This concept - which has recieved many iterations over the years (only partially shown here) - aims to fix that by merging address bar and bookmarks bar with the tabs. Apple has released a new version of Safari that has a very similar design, so this concept is now discontinued.

The first iteration of the concept in 2014 - initial idea preferred minimalism over usability One of the frames in the latest 2019 iteration - familiar elements have been readded while keeping the goal of the redesign
2014 - 2021

Fabulously Optimized

An open-source "modpack" for Minecraft: Java Edition that provides performance and graphics improvements. Started in 2020 as an alternative to a very popular mod called Optifine, with the goal being to provide similar features with more modern mods and open development.
