See you on September 12!

As part of the monthly internal meetup at Blumilk, we had the pleasure of listening to our teammate, Karol Zygadło, who shared his knowledge about Arch Linux.

#ArchLinux is a distribution that, despite its reputation as a demanding system, offers extremely wide personalization options. It is an ideal choice for those who value full control over their work environment.

In his presentation, Karol drew attention to several key aspects that define Arch Linux:

• Key principles: Arch Linux is based on the principles of simplicity, modernity, pragmatism, user centrality and versatility, which ensure flexibility and modernity in the use of the system. 
• Rolling release model: With this model, users can enjoy regular updates, eliminating the need for full system version updates. This approach allows you to stay up to date with the latest features and fixes.
• Pacman: Pacman package manager allows you to easily install, remove and update software from repositories. Its simplicity and efficiency are one of the key advantages of Arch Linux.

Arch Linux is an excellent choice for people who want to fully customize the system to their individual needs. While it may be demanding at first, it offers a deep understanding of how Linux works and the satisfaction of having complete control over every aspect of the work environment.

Thanks Karol for the inspiring presentation and valuable tips! 

Another dose of knowledge in September!

Is it worth using humor in the application?
This question was one of the key topics raised by our software tester, Ewelina Skrzypacz, during the monthly internal meetup at Blumilek. Ewelina focused on issues related to UX writing and the importance of writing appropriate messages in applications.

Here's what we found out: 

• How to write success and error messages well? – Ewelina shared tips on how to create clear and understandable messages that help users fully understand activities in the application and quickly react in the event of errors. 
• How do users read websites? – We learned several key principles about how users process content on websites, which allows for better text design and makes them more engaging.
•  Is it worth using humor in the application? – Ewelina presented arguments for and against the use of humorous elements in the application's communication. It turned out that although humor can increase engagement, it is not always a good solution. It may be perceived differently by users, which may lead to misunderstandings or frustration in some contexts.

Understanding UX writing is crucial to creating intuitive and user-friendly interfaces. Good messaging not only improves the user experience, but also reduces frustration and increases engagement. Knowing how users read websites allows for better content design, which leads to more effective communication.

We are already curious about what will happen at the next meetup!
