People have been doing Tenet all wrong, but it isn’t too late to rewind the clock and fix that

Tenet is back in theaters — and it’s secretly a vibes-only Christopher Nolan masterpiece

Been looking for some new sneakers for a long time, I think I finally found the ones (Men's California by Hoff)

Anyone using AI in their design process? If so, how?

Do any of you all 🎮 game? I do a bit of Sea of Thieves which has been super fun… 🏴‍☠️

This weekend I attended a songwriting retreat in MN and it was so profoundly soul-nourishing, would definitely recommend making space for that kind of thing

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.

Where do you all have design *discussions* these days (asking questions, getting recommendations, etc)? Design Twitter isn’t what it was… Reddit? Here/Posts?

Took this photo last night—it’s the moon rising from just past the horizon

❓ Anyone got examples of icons that clearly indicate “hide this view temporarily without losing the content you’ve added” on mobile? Kinda like closing a bottom sheet but less like “closing”. Need it for a new interaction I’m working on.

Typing this while sitting beside a lake in Vision Pro, AMA (got it for work)

And so, Apple Photo, this is the worst thing about the latest iOS 18 update. It's impossible to get used to it over time.

If you want some extremely good southwestern chill electric guitar give this playlist a shuffle https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/hermanos-gutierrez/pl.u-RamVIqqm9R

What are your absolute favorite typefaces these days? Post samples!

that lil Apple exec product announcement squat with the wide stance

Who else is also on 🦋 Bluesky? Design and tech community is really picking up steam over there…

it's almost like firing a bunch of designers tends to make your product worse! anyway

What’s the best way to find a top-notch Framer website designer for an interior design business?

As this beautiful place comes to a close, follow me over on Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/neighbor.bsky.social

I’m sorry to say but figma is kinda old school now

On a whim I made a 5-min sketch of a rebrand for my facilitator / trainer friend, quite liked the palette...

Who else is working on design for experiences powered by AI?

What did you think of Dune Part 2? I didn’t love it.

Here’s my website which has links to some other places https://peterlewis.design

Just finished this last night, really enjoyed it https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19231492/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

How do you describe your designer profession to non-designers? 

I usually say something like “I design apps to help people understand and manage their health”…

Who else is over on 🦋 Bluesky? I’m here if you want to follow https://bsky.app/profile/neighbor.bsky.social

i have heavily curated my Bluesky following/feeds into a bunch of webdev/design/startup folks and it's been great. lots of people building stuff, sharing work, ideas, etc. (I also muted a bunch of news-related keywords that I dont care to see 24/7, which keeps my feed clean)

I think maybe the most fundamental UX design skill is information architecture

I jokingly switched my slack font to comic sans, and I low-key love it. every conversation reads "lighter" lol more fun. even passive aggressive ones.

The Far: Lone Sails and Far: Changing Tides have some of the best soundtracks of any game I’ve played, and I made a playlist of both here: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/far/pl.u-RmWDiqqm9R

How are we feeling about Canva buying Affinity?

Anyone into board games? As a former print designer and current product designer, I love finding the ones with the best mechanics + production design. Here are a few I like a lot:

Any other Principal Product Designers out there? I’d love to connect!

RIP Posts — you were great and gone too soon

Whew the Photos app in iOS 18 is… not good 😬

I just made an exception and set spacing to 3pm, I feel so powerful

If you're still on Spotify and haven't checked out Apple Music in a while, definitely do it. Apple Music is a really polished app with an incredible player experience, and Spotify has unfortunately turned into UX garbage...

Anybody else watching 3 Body Problem? What do you think?

Hats off to @andy and team for making this a really special place—probably the most consistently positive and generous online space for designers (maybe not officially but let’s be honest) I’ve been a part of. Hopefully everyone can join me over on Bluesky! 🫡

New Campsite landing page just dropped 👀 

https://www.campsite.co/

Small mistake I see a lot of people making when implementing progressive blur in their designs: forgetting to also reduce opacity as the blue values increase, so the text, etc being blurred becomes optically *more* prominent as it blurs out

hey @Andy can we get a ⌘+Return shortcut for posting around here?
