Today I will be at #chi2023 presenting “GitUI: A Community-Based Platform to Democratize User Interfaces.” Please check out our work at position 078. @TechPeopleLab @kylemontague @tjvguerreiro
Preview of the gitui poster. Authors are Sérgio Alves, Ricardo Costa', Kyle Montague2, Tiago Guerreiro1 1. LASIGE, Faculdade de Ciências, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal 2. Northumbria University, United Kingdom Motivation, second row: UI customization can improve usability and user experience. However, it often requires significant effort and technical skills, beyond the reach of most users. Third row: A Community-Based Approach to Customization. Concept: The community collaborates to create customized Uls. People can customize themselves, ask for assistance, or search for publicly available customization templates. Templates are built atop existing ones.

Sérgio (@sergiobalves) is going to #assets2022 and is interested in talking about the personalization of graphical user interfaces. His work focuses on studying how people can have more agency over their UIs. He is advised by @tjvguerreiro @lasige and @kylemontague @NORTHLabHCI
Several personalization solutions. On top there is a webpage with the warning for small fonts and a slider to increase the size of the font in the webpage. Below, is another webpage with a side bar showing different templates for that webpage. On the side, there is a side bar with options to change colors, sizes, and order of elements, as well as removing them.
