Anyone else see the “Sidekick ✨” product launch from Shopify today? 🤯

Free in-person tickets to Config in San Francisco until May 15th using this code: CONFIG23_LIVE

In one of those creative rut days. Just can’t seem to stay focused on this task.

Who has any suggestions, tactics, self-care tips they use during these times? Curious to hear!

Just loaded up Threads for the first time and wow does it feel busy. Not a fan of the grouped profiles next to the replies and the choice to use solid black for the like, comment buttons.

Thoughts?

Really wish there was a way to export mp4/gif on Figma. Tried a couple of plugins but ultimately had to resort to screen recording the presentation view. Anyone have a different work around?

Any useful screenshot apps for designers to be able to document various user flows?

Rn I simply take full page screenshots of flows and organize those screenshots in figma but would love to find a tool that does this all for me.

been working on an iPod Classic app with Spotify support :D

Been eyeing courses within UX to improve my skills but I want something more specialized than a standard UX Course. 

I’m looking into design systems and user research but curious if there are other specialties I should look at within the vast UX umbrella. Thoughts?

Anyone have any suggestions on https://mymind.com alternates?

I’m currently trying are.na and joined the waitlist for https://join.cosmos.so

I still just find myself taking screenshots of cool things I find on the web and having to synthesize these later.

Curious what password managers people use? Wondering if there’s any I haven’t heard of that are super underrated in security & ease?

Not sure what to post here yet so here’s a cool book store found in Seattle, WA.

Sometimes, I just go on the Airbnb app to play around with this thing. I don’t even bother to look at places anymore.

Replaced Twitter for Posts this past week and feeling rejuvenated.

Hope everyone has a great week! 🤙

I love this video style.

Also miss my Seattle spots. Till next time Westman’s.

Attended by first Config conference. Loved it all. Excited for next year's already 🙌

One thing that always bothered me about Stripe’s website was how the cool dynamic gradient background slashes through the hero text.

So here’s a redesigned UI I made a while back. Was really fun playing around with noise and color blur in the background.

Continuing my coffee shop tour in Seattle ☕️
Share some of your favorite spots!

Anyone else watching the OpenAI GPT-4 demo livestream rn? Tune in, it’s wild how fast and accurate it is becoming.

Finally been updating my portfolio with more design content I’ve been sitting on this past week and that’s such a freeing feeling.

Checking more things off of my never ending to do list 🙃

Where else to celebrate the release of Arc mobile than at a coffee shop.

I’m curious to explore what type of conversations are happening on Bluesky and compare it with Twitter. Nothing beats the Posts gang tho 🤟

If anyone’s got a Bluesky invite link don’t be shy👇

Looking to update my portfolio (again). But this time, I want to set up my digital garden once and for all.

Curious, who else has embraced this idea of a digital garden for their personal site? I really love @chesterhow’s site, would love to see more so please share !!

Curious if anyone uses Campsite.design, threads.com, or anything similar as a personal design archive/log to keep track of your progress on a project? Note ideas, iterations, feedback from others, etc.

I didn’t know what my 2023 would look like but chatting with ChatGPT about its personality type like a friend was certainly not what I was expecting to be doing 😅

Reminder for any other junior and aspiring designers to have the discipline to take breaks when you need them. From job apps/portfolio updates/case studies/networking/etc… 

You deserve it. Our time will come.

Been seeing a few posts on what freelance designers charge as their rates. 

I was curious, has anyone ever exchanged design work for equity in a company? 

Is there even such a thing? $ for some clients, % for others? Or maybe a blend for one client?

There’s nothing like that walk after a design breakthrough. Pumped!

If anyone has any advice or open to chatting with an aspiring designer looking to break into the industry would love to connect!

This community feels so close and welcoming I love it.

Think I’m addicted to collecting TestFlight apps I love it so much

Cool skeuomorphic design idea would be a little free library for the books you are currently reading. Add some interaction where the door would open when clicked on and you can interact with the books (peak out when on hover, click book to open online pdf or Amazon link)

From a lovely Sunday evening walk. Hope everyone has a great week!

They just demoed GPT-4 creating a working interactive website from a picture of a hand drawn mock-up…in seconds

I may be slightly biased here, but at @logicandrhythm we’re building current.so, it’s mainly geared around sharing work-in progress/gathering feedback within a team but there’s nothing to say you can’t make it your own

Anyone got an invite for Airchat they want to share?

Just realized Spotify podcasters have the ability to display replies on their episodes. Curious how Spotify will foster more in-app community interaction.

Also highly recommend the Rich Roll podcast with Rainn Wilson about his new book, Soul Boom.

I use walling.app you can dump everything or sort it directly into your walls. Been using it for years!

ChatGPT-4 napkin sketch demo reminded me of this…

Super excited to be going to ADPList x Friends of Figma’s SF Community Night in April!! Who else? 👀

If anyone’s got an extra invite for texts.com so I can clean up my messages I would be very grateful 🙌
