The Antique Toaster that's Better than Yours

The same industry that birthed UX Design as a profession also collectively shipped ~2000 unique yet somehow equally shit Cookie Consent banners and maybe—as a profession—we fix *that* first and *then* publish Medium articles about Design and seats at tables

Squeeze those late, last dog days

Turning colored lamps, outside heaters on for those twilight and dusk days

Meet Play.
A better way to design & prototype mobile apps.

We've been working really hard in the past few years and I've never been more proud of my work. I've grown so much since I joined!

OK, which are *really* the top 10 best on Google Fonts?

A running list of interface design idiosyncrasies that should just be canon because jfc:

formless.ai as a product is neat and whatever but as an Early Access / MVP product launch?

Maybe the best executed one I have seen in forever. A masterclass by the team at Typeform in just-enough-delivery vs. trade-offs for speed

Remember when 4chan was a place to post green text and ironically pretend to be a nazi? Then sat some point just became a place for Nazis to post green text?

Probably not a generational lesson hiding in that for us millennials about how online-savvy we are…

Forever intrigued by the folks who buy gold watches aboard airplanes, which is an amount of people so high that airplanes keep offering gold watches for sale…in the SKY

There’s 1 (one) correct way of doing your design portfolio, and varying wrong ways the rest of us did it:

I bet the UX Writing Team at Meta is a fun place to work

Me: *looks at Posts app icon 924 times*
Brain: "that's the Posts app!"

Me: *looks at 925th time*
Brain: "the shadow of the paper in the app icon is actually negative space and the paper is actually a rotated 'P' shape"

To celebrate that Play is sponsoring read.cv's newsletter this week, I recreated the app using native modals, webviews and scroll triggers.

Remember yesterday, when a browser startup with >1% market share held a live stream to unveil an integrated AI feature, and when they announced it, a little toast popped up in real time inside the browser to enable said feature?

Logging it under ‘What is Craft’

Bertrand Russell: “Hi mom go to the Toptenz website RIGHT NOW I’m on it”

What would you consider true Pro-level Software in the vein of:

• Final Cut Pro
• Blender
• Ableton Live
• Play
• The god damn Bloomberg Terminal

?

Can we all agree on a special designer email / password so I can come into your UI, poke around and play with all the buttons and screens without needing to sign up? I promise I won't break anything, I just want to play with your toys.

Arc is my favorite browser all the time.

HEY do you LOVE apps but HATE to discover new apps and they're actually just MEDIOCRE?

Are you a busy person with zero time to waste on apps except 100% GOOD ones?

Then come visit me and my cosmos cluster I keep exclusively for GOOD, INTERESTING apps:

We sometimes talk about craft here and what it means. Talking Head's concert film "Stop Making Sense" is Craft

POV: When the PM has a few notes but otherwise thinks it’s purrfect

@andy i know multiple ebeds from saas services are probably already high on your list, but I'd like to throw my hat in the right for for embeds from  Pitch.com so I can add this to a page I'm working on at the moment: pitch.com/public/2e5ce816-40eb-47b0-91e2-9a69a8996e09

I recently updated the job title / level / role for myself to be just “Designer” — and honestly?

It’s WILD how good pebble-out-your-shoe it’s felt to just sidestep all the noisy org chart bullshit language of “PD/UX/IxD/Sr/Lead/etc” completely

Remember the “A bit more” Breville toaster? Y’know — the one everyone heralded as “a definition of UX”?

Yeah, that toaster actually sucks once you learn about this Sunbeam Radiant Control toaster from 1948, which I’m obsessed with:

"A pixel-perfect Figma frame began to untwine."

What if Midjourney had a UI, and it's tailored for first-time users (with advanced features tucked away)?

Using Rive animation in the blank slate. ✨

Gonna sprinkle in some Framer magic... coming soon!

When I was looking for my next role, one of the companies I was exploring assigned a take-home design exercise during the interview process, and I had to figure out how to proceed. 

Here's what I explained to them (+ a proposal)—if this is you, feel free to steal it! 👇

POV: It’s 1998-ish, and someone asked you for an estimate on a video game pitch called “Hitman”

We’re all adults here, right? Some of us should fess up:

Dunking on Google Wave in 2010 was premature. 

In hindsight we were huffing Clout scores while Wave retreated, regrouped, and dropped as 10 apps over Microsoft Office before morphing back into one as Google Workspace
