Attended my first Chicago Camps(https://chicagocamps.org) event. High quality, low cost, just the way design conferences should be!

We didn’t think this frame selection through 🙉

The brand team at Retool launched this really fun long form experience for a write up of the history of Visual Basic today. Works on mobile but the real magic is on desktop. Check it out and try to find the fun easter eggs ✨👀

Started using LibraryThing to catalogue our home library. So far the scanner is better than the goodreads one but it’s not able to find some books and some of our books don’t have an ISBN.

I was not prepared for the eye hospital to have any of these in the dropdown for Occupation

Which metrics (business &/or design) one should measure when they are restructuring IA of an app? Which are some of the early metrics one should work towards?

Has anyone worked on such a project? Would appreciate if you can share what were some of the learnings :)
TIA!✨

Last night at the movies, halfway through we switched to the vacant recliners in the top row. Cheap thrills.

I never used Gowalla back in the day mainly because I didnt have a smartphone. Since yesterday I’ve been mapping coffee shops that I’m visiting during this field trip. Literally only my pins for kms around!

How do you come up with names for a design system?

I don’t really care much about the InvisionApp shutting down. However I do recommend downloading and archiving all the great content (especially the handbooks) they put out under DesignBetter.co incase it goes away.

Anyone from Hong Kong / Malaysia here?
