I’ll miss you all ✌️

Play lets you build such high definition prototypes considering how easy it is to learn. It’s almost making it too easy to overdeliver, which I might regret later... createwithplay.com/

Happy for the great CV team to have found a new, probably cool option. Surprised just how sad I feel about this lovely community winding down. Like everyone here, I haven’t found anywhere else like it. But... see you on Bluesky? bsky.app/profile/joe.cv

I also don't think users *need* to have an emotional reaction or dopamine hit from using every single product, that's exhausting. A tool can just be a well designed tool. That's a digression though, my original criticism isn't for delight itself but how it manifests right now.

I personally don’t find this approach useful. Security and safety should be distinct from delight, not a subset of it. This dilution of meaning makes the terms less effective for me. Otherwise, delight becomes a catchall term for good design.
