I'm gonna say it... I don't care about the new dribbble logo.

Calling all Figma enthusiasts! I’m working on an app named FigWig to turn your design activity into beautiful widgets and analytics, like a Github commit graph but for Figma

I just launched the second TestFlight, so make sure to check out the waitlist at figwig.app to get on it!

Just here to remind everyone about non-breaking spaces and widows/orphans. Thank you.

Any thoughts on the Rabbit R1 unboxing event for those who watched it? 

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

Heads up people who bought Figma Config tickets in 2023, the agenda just got posted. Sign up for your talks now!

You should have gotten an email. General public access begins tomorrow for everyone else.

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!

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

"Do you believe in user testing and user research?"

"No..." 

Jesper Kouthoofd is an absolute legend.

Seeing products like the Daylight Tablet and Light Phone III really make me excited about where personal computing devices are headed.

My philosophy on technology has always been that it should compliment your life and solve problems, not control your life and create problems...

First CV, then Peerlist, now Layers has it's own "posts" platform: layers.to/posts

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.

What are our thoughts on OpenAI's "Sky" voice purposefully sounding like the voice in "Her"?

I'm personally not loving the trend of tech companies turning satirical dystopian sci-fi into reality...

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

‘As little design as possible’ often requires as much design as possible

I can't decide if I'm excited or worried about what Figma is going to announce at Config.

If I hear "One-click Design to Code" I'm going to start booing.

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 !!

In case anyone is annoyed with Google search, kagi.com is where it's at! I've been using it for a while now and it is unparalleled.

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.

What are the odds Figma implements oklch support during Config? Cause that would be like... really clutch.

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

Please, there are so many shitty AI apps to go through...

I basically needed every new design book when I started out. Now it's just vibes

Have y'all heard of this neat tool called Figma? Odd name but I think it'll really take off.

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)

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.
