Resumo(s)
Several aspects of our lives have been democratized (e.g., social networks democratized access and delivery of information, and 3D printers enabled anyone to create and
share models for new physical interfaces).
Conversely, one crucial aspect remains out of bounds to individual agency: The User
Interface. Today, designers perform studies in order to understand the interface that satisfies the majority of the users. Unfortunately, it is impossible to create a solution that
satisfies the whole community, as users have different necessities and preferences.
This thesis aims to solve this issue, allowing users of web interfaces to tweak and
share adaptations with other users, shifting the agency of UI adaptation from developers
to users. To achieve this, a prototype that allows users to create and save changes to web
interfaces was developed. This prototype connects to a platform that allows other users
of the community to search and share customized web interfaces.
Using this platform, users can replace any UI with an adapted version that satisfies
their necessities.
Our platform aims to benefit not only the community, giving the users access to a
collection of UI adaptations where they could browse for the ones that match their necessities, but also the website owners, informing them of what could be improved.
This platform benefits the community since it provides the users with a variety of UI
adaptations that should match all their necessities; but it also benefits website owners,
reducing their burden to provide accessible web content, since the community can create
their accessible version of any web page.
