Front-end developers author UI components to be broadly reusable by parameterizing visual and behavioral properties. While flexible, this makes instantiation harder, as developers must reason about numerous property values and interactions. In practice, they must explore the component’s large design space and provide realistic and natural values to properties. To address this, we introduce distinguishing variations: variations that are both mimetic and distinct. We frame distinguishing variation generation as design-space sampling, combining symbolic inference to identify visually important… Read More
The Way We Notice, That’s What Really Matters: Instantiating UI Components with Distinguishing Variations
