I honestly think they tried their best to deliver on their promises.

It's been a while since I've been on posts. After coming back, I'm overwhelmed with design envy from all the talented individuals here. Y'all rock!

What's at the top of your font wish list?

I need some help...there is a word for this kind of projection right? I just can't figure it out.

Finally posted the biggest article in the "anatomy of everyday ui" series: layouts. Finally had to just publish what I wrote as it was a rabbit hole of little details.

For blog/digital-garden owners out there, what is your reason for writing?

Every year I carve the same jack o lantern. It never ceases to make me laugh

Trippy logo animation I did over the weekend. I honestly don't know how I made this logo work in 3D, but I'll take it!

What is this app called?
Posts by readcv? PostsCV? Posts by read?

Reminds me of the quote from Mark Twain: "I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead."

I've been using Obsidian for user research/studying. Holy moly, it's just toooo good. The links, the connections, the CUSTOM THEMEING. 🤤✨

I'll write more about this in the future, but immersion isn't the holy grail of computing – being in the zone is. And being in the zone is more about what you feel than what you see.

Another pitch lost, and now I'm without a single project in my pipeline. This has never happened before.. If you're in need of Art Direction/3D work, feel free to reach out: peter@petertarka.com

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 !!

Are there any product designer portfolio that caught your attention recently?

I’m at a crossroads

Do you recommend:
A : dedicated website for all my work
B : a link in bio like “Bento” to show all of me?

Design recruiters and hiring managers? Which works best?

Now is probably a good time for someone to design a nice reddit alternative. From what I've seen so far, there isn't one that people feel comfortable flocking to.

Been enjoying the "cool tech company releases free dope font" trend happening lately.

The read.cv stickers are delightfully weird  @andy

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

Technology should compliment reality, not replace it...

My question is... people flocking from Twitter -> Posts, will you treat Posts like Twitter or will users interact with Posts in a fundamentaly different way? (ie. plz don't turn Posts into design Twitter)

There’s 15 strangers that made the decision to try out a side project of mine for the time being. 

The Internet is incredible.

As a recent design graduate, how do I not lose hope in finding a product design job out of college?

Either no one's hiring or no one wants to hire jr's. Or it's me haha.

Hello there! Some of my work for Holoplot and the MSG Sphere in Las Vegas. How to design a new software to manage hundreds of audio sources and 1600+ speakers to ensure the artists and the audience have the perfect experience. Apparently, U2 and Paul McCartney agree it's perfect.
