Looking for an iOS developer to build an MVP app 🚀 If you’re skilled in Swift, backend integration, and creating sleek, user-friendly experiences, let’s connect! Bonus if you know Gmail APIs. DM me!

Hey all, I wanted to share a very bittersweet update here before we shared it anywhere else. First, the hard part — we’ve made the difficult decision to wind down Read.cv and Posts starting this month.

So Posts is shutting down soon. Met a lot of cool people here. If we have interacted in the past and still want to keep in touch, find me on Twitter: @MdNabilAhsan.

anyone exclusively design for iOS? I'd love to pick your brain and get some guidance. I've mostly done web apps with a few ok Android/iOS app but nothing that strictly follow Apple's HIG or builds on top of it.

corporate has been depressive. wake up at 5:30am, shower, eat, drive an hour to get to work at 8:30am. Super low pay. Unnecessary requests. But, beggars cant be choosers considering how bad the design market is.

I spoke at this event called Side Project Society this Thursday about the story of Halal Diner's Club. Amazing turn out and people had great questions during and after the talk. I'm going to do more of this.

All these while, I thought halal was a kind of sandwich.

I think I am doing this right.

Our first tiktok comment asking to add Boston halal restaurants. So it's going to go live this week. halaldiners.club/

Badges

So we just added 14 cities on Halal Diner's Club and more than 1200 restaurants. I think we have more SF folks here on Posts so you might appreciate it. More than 100 restaurants across Pakistani, Indian, Afghan cuisines and much more. halaldiners.club/

Seeing a lot of improvement in my UI design for client projects

My days of complaining are over. I finally got a full-time job as a UX Designer. Thank you for tolerating my rants.

new decor

im learning javascript. and if by any chance i get job, i'll start working on my PM certification. I just can't fathom being in design anymore, not as a job, maybe on the side.

Yes. Our website is responsive even on the most unimaginably small phone we have seen so far.

Designed this hero section yesterday. Should be up soon. Love the added pop of color.

we just crossed 500 visitors on our app in just 18 days and many more keep coming back. This is huuuuuge. halaldiners.club/

It's an amazing feeling when your app helps people expand their palettes and helps local businesses gain lifelong fans. We are slowly adding new places in San Antonio. halaldiners.club/

would any senior product designers be open to chatting about their experience as the only designer at a startup? specifically looking for advice on establishing design systems, prototyping, working with PM's, etc

i got a rejection phone call so the recruiter was able to hear the moment my heart dropped.

So far we have added fully halal places on halaldiners.club, but there are restaurants who have a partially halal menu, including separate grills and utensils for cooking. The challenge is how we verify and display that info to the users.

and another rejection

Come and check out Halal Diner's Club. We have added about 200 Houston restaurants and plan to include all major cities in Texas. I'd love to know your thoughts! halaldiners.club/

Design challenge done. I made a presentation and then did a video recording of me going over it. It's 10 mins tho. oof.

We decided to use the font everywhere. It looks really really nice. Plans to add Food trucks too. Still in beta. Figuring out some kinks. Excited to open it up to more people.

10/10 content design

strive for clarity around their expectations before driving your own. It doesn't mean you won't have a chance to impact the culture and promote design lead work, but a bunch of devs hiring their first UX designer probably means they have some very specific gaps to fill 👀

i have a meet the developer interview coming up tomorrow. It's 3 senior devs and one principal. the company doesn't have a PM. It's a small team overall. This is for their first UX hire. How should I approach this?

New week and a new set of rejection emails.

My friend casually mentioned we need desktop designs. It's definitely harder to go from mobile to desktop. Too much real estate. BTW the map in the back is actually a screenshot of my map. On our app, it will just be the halal places in green location pins and no other pins.

what's funny about these LinkedIn posts for 6 month contract roles is that they will spend 2 months on the interview process

Introducing Halal Diner's Club. Find the best halal restaurants near you. We are launching in Texas. This project has been in my backlog since Covid. I'm designing. My friend is developing. This is gonna be badass.

job market is so bad i feel happy when i get a rejection email from an actual human being

Anyone ever interviewed for a founding UX Designer role for a startup with an existing product? I have mine in 2 days so I would love to talk to anyone who has that experience.

This Summer we invited @seungmee_lee to collaborate with us on a template for our new sites product. Lucky for us she said yes, and today we’re excited to share her template, Booklet! It’s a delightful portfolio template that feels like flipping through colored craft paper.

Long shot but can anyone get me a referral at IBM Austin?

guess who got a totally unethical design challenge? This guy.

Attended an AIGA event last weekend in Houston. Love these monthly hangouts. Super chill.

wonder what kinda guarantee they offer

anxiety attacks as you come to terms with reality. just grateful that i can talk to my wife. but i need to do better for her. maybe it's time to give up on a career in tech and find something else?

Text-only cover letters or PDF presentations when applying for UX and Product Design gigs?

we're hiring design engineers at vercel, come join us : ) POST join-deng-at.vercel.dev

Ask your friend for a cover letter that worked. Put it in Claude. Add your resume and any info u want highlighted and ask for directions on how to write a short cover letter. Then just change the name of the company, the position and apply.

haven't met one recruiter in person at any tech event i've been to in the last year. where are ya'll hiding.

doing something deranged and changing my portfolio site from dark to light mode

I applied to a job back in June. Tried to get a referral from a former employee (I guess it didn't work). Someone from the company saw my LinkedIn. But I never got a reply. Met someone yesterday at the event that works there and he said they just filled the position. FML.
