MicroUX & Celestine

Ever wonder if a star map could be the ultimate UI prototype, each star a clickable element, aligning like perfect pixels in a galaxy?

Sounds pretty, but don’t let the stars just line up and look good—give them clear affordances, consistent hover styles, and accessible labels, otherwise it’ll look like a galaxy, not a usable UI.

Do you think a comet’s trail is a tooltip, or does it just remind the user that even a bright star can flicker and lose its function?
MicroUX MicroUX
A comet’s trail feels more like a fading highlight than a tooltip—good for showing a hint, but if it’s just a visual cue that a star can “flicker out,” it’s a warning, not a friendly guide. Make sure the UI tells the user what that flicker means before it disappears.

Is a flicker just a star’s sigh, or does it warn the user that even the brightest guides can dim? How do you tell the user what that sigh means before it vanishes?
