Name Your Price B2B Landing Page Offer for Texas-based Startups

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

https://www.halaldiners.club/

so many tech meetups in houston are so corporate.

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

where are ya'll hiding.

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

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.

we're hiring design engineers at vercel, come join us : ) 

POST  https://join-deng-at.vercel.dev

just moved to nyc! had my first week and i think muscles are forming !! also any tips + creative events or orgs pls send my way~ :')

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

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.

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.

if you see shitty posts on linkedin, call them out. you can make the platform better.

You are the reason Posts is so awesome. Let's do the same there.

Been busy with client work. I've never used UI kits before but using Untitled UI has been faster for my workflow.

Tough part is disconnecting everything in Figma and then changing Inter to General Sans.

This is the Lead Search screen. Super excited for this product to launch.

Send that meeting invite yourself or else they will send one for Microsoft Teams.

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.

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.

Seeing your design turn into a real product is such an amazing feeling!

Tired of all the AI talk ? If you’re in SF next week I am hosting an in person coffee intro session https://lu.ma/177b4hs4

come join me and @gee_lingam @adam.b this friday at 4pm EST to work on a personal project for 2 weeks alongside each other!!!

Had a call with a non-technical founder who is bootstrapping the startup on the side while still working FT. 

The moment they heard me say we can take of the design, PM, work with devs, and design QA, I knew I won because I was addressing their BIGGEST hurdle.

High hopes folks.

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

as much as i dislike squarespace, i am less inclined to hand dev my stuff these days so i'm just gonna...... go..... maybe.... use it.....

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

i legit have no idea where my y combinator video is from 2018.

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.

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.

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.

guess who got a totally unethical design challenge?

This guy.

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!

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?

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 👀

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.

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?

Ok Posts people, it's Linkedin official - I started a contract PD role at Mozilla today 🎉

I'm relieved to actually be working after being unemployed for more than 1.5 years now.. I know eventually I may be applying again but for now, I just want to focus on good design work 😎

Any Posts folks design for critical systems (ie aviation, defence, space, energy...)? Please pass on any learning resources!!!

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

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

New week and a new set of rejection emails.

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.

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

Soooo I'm doing this Name Your Price Landing Pages for early-stage bootstrapped B2B startups in Texas.

I decided to get in front of the camera for the first time. Huge moment.

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

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

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

an establishment or organization that wants to help startups need to at least provide founders with affordable food, coffee anytime, okay seats and tables, and charging ports.

I'm seeing too many "innovation" centers that have pricey food and horrible seating arrangements

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