I've used Lemmy more in the past 12 hours than I have in the past month since signing up. All because of Sync. (lemmy.world)

Intuitive means it makes sense instinctively. Touchscreens with pinch to zoom are a good example of intuitive UI design. Children can pick up an iPad and learn to use it quickly with no instruction. That's intuitive design and of course it exists.

Is your custom script heavy system more efficient for your workflow? I'm sure, but picking it up out of the box it's going to be horrible for a new user, they will be slow on it, it'll be unenjoyable and annoying. That's my point really, every Lemmy app I tried was unenjoyable and annoying. Sync on the other hand I have never used before, but out of the box? It works, I'm happy browsing with zero issues or errors or struggles within minutes. That's intuitive design.

So Sync's UI is good for you, you have used applications that make you kinda got used to Sync. It's called anecdotal evidence I think, when you make conclusions based in single test case. I'm happy for you. I like Sync UI best of all too, I tried multiple Reddit clients and Sync was most convenient for me.

I mean I can't afford to fund a study to prove my point sure so it's anecdotal and speculation, but I really do think if you give a new user who is unfamiliar with any kind of app a choice of all apps available, they would get on immediately better with sync. It's a smoother experience, less likely to run into bugs or errors, and it has WAY better error handling if you do etc.
