Project By
Nick Disabato
Chicago, IL
Send MessageAs an interaction designer, I work to make technology simpler, more humane, and easier to use. I write specifications about software features, outline the way that web sites are structured, and analyze the way that people work. I want us to live easier lives.
I also like craft beer a lot.
I'd love to talk with you about usability or craft beer.
Todd vanGoethem says: Congrats nickd! (now get back to work!) :)
Nick Disabato says: It is deeply amusing to have both my parents on here. And my grandmother pledging. That is all.
Roxann Disabato says: Wrapping funding this project up are two benevolent benefactors: Louise Disabato and Deb & Bob Matusiak. Both respectfully request a book.....
Katie Hall says: Thank You, Kickstarter, For Helping Me Back Nick Disabato
Michael Disabato says: Someone needs to write a book, me thinks.
Eliot Sykes says: So close - $136 per day left to get (if my calculations are correct) - come on pledge for as little as $1!
KevBurnsJr says: Submitted to Hacker News http://news.ycombinator.com/item...
Nick Disabato says: Thanks, Eliot! I just tweeted about it, hopefully Digg folks will come out and support.
Eliot Sykes says: Backers, lets help get Nick's book funded, digg it: http://digg.com/design/Upcoming_interaction_design_style_guide_book_on_Kickstarter
Michael says: Can't wait until this project is finished! Sounds cool.
KevBurnsJr says: Looking forward to adding this to my shelf. Great to see another book combining Alexander and IxD. I'd really like to see a vocabulary of patterns illustrating a set of basic stylistic guidelines for interaction design. Could do wonders for this world's vast population of students and design-averse web developers.
Maya Kuper says: Hey nickd, thanks for updating that!
Nick Disabato says: Maya, I hear that - the front page has needed an update for a little while. I'm posting something new right now. Thanks!
Maya Kuper says: Hey nickd, can you edit the "about this project" on the project home page to be a bit more descriptive of the book and what's in it? The info you have in there ("At the beginning of this year, I wrote an outline of the book, put together handmade chapbooks of it, and mailed them to 100 friends and colleagues") is not that interesting . . . we want to know about the content of the book, not the just process by which you're writing it. I know it's hard to summarize the book, but your supporters need something to wrap our heads around.
James VanOsdol says: I'm especially interested in the "Slang" part of the book.
Justin says: Good luck nickd, I look forward to reading this! That is why I opted for the special autographed copy reward!
