Business and strategy are not taught in design school and it’s not something every designer is drawn to, but senior designers should know…

‘Doing strategy’ as a product designer

Trying posts.cv on web for the first time! Adding to bookmarks (or actually "Pinned" in Arc)!

I'm old enough to remember DesignerNews at its peak... And I genuinely miss it 😞

RIP

Now that vanilla CSS has nesting I think it's time for LESS and SASS to... well... die?

Anything else missing/needed?

For people who switched to freelance from being in-house product designer at a (small scale) startup – what’s your story? What was your motivation and have you ever regretted the switch? And how is this now going for you?

Doing "Design Audit" should be one of the first onboarding tasks for any new design hire. Just click around, take screenshots, write what you like, what you don't like, what should be changed, what's misaligned, what's broken... It's a rare chance to have a fresh look.

Kicking off my Design × Formula 1 season today! 🥳 🥳 🥳

The best way to start building UI library on an already existing codebase is to take a screenshot of every button (but could be any UI element) that you can find while browsing your product and see all the little (and big!) differences between each...

I wanted to level up my note-taking system (which used to be pen & paper) and after spending unhealthy amount of time trying several apps (Tana, Obsidian, Craft) I'm going back to pen & paper...

All of them are just complex and overwhelming in every possible way...

Earlier today I rode my motorbike for the first time this year. It was so good I haven’t even taken any pictures 🤷‍♂️

Remember the Gap rebrand? 

Good times...

This is my new favorite thing. Completely useless but so mesmerizing…

Santa came earlier this year! Got my swag from Gowalla 🧢✌️

Protip for prototyping in Figma: don't use Corner Smoothing - it will drastically slow down or even break some transitions. Keep it always at 0%.

Some work in progress for CRM I've been working on...

Will dark mode be ever shipped to Google products?! Come on, it’s about time!

I have never liked designing logos but decided to get out of my comfort zone and flex muscles I don't usually use. My friend asked my to design a logo for his company "Office & More" (he sells office furniture etc) so I've done some sketches.

What’s the best swag you ever received from a company that you still use/like?

time to be fired...

Recruiter: So we have couple minutes left, do you have any questions maybe?
Interviewee: Which bank do you use?

It’s been s while since i last posted here… how’s this community doing? Twitter has been honestly quite exhausting recently… 😮‍💨

Posts is great because there're almost exclusively designers – exactly the people I want to interact with. 
So why not getting rid of the "Follow" feature? Just trust the algorithm so we can see the content from all sorts of people, not only the ones we decided to follow..

I guess my only concern about Cron... ekhm... Notion Calendar is the accessibility in UI – font size being way too small and contrast ratio being too low. I can't imagine filling that form on a poor quality screen... 

Or maybe I'm just too old... 👴 🤷‍♂️

My most recent followers on Twitter... It's all spam/fake accounts except 3 legitimate followers...

"Here's a link to buy my PDF on how to increase your followers count in 1 week"

I've tried GitHub Copilot for some coding project. It couldn't fix the problem I encountered so I eventually ended up finding solution on good old Stack Overflow! It's not dead! 

Long live the king! 👑

Little work in progress around virtual desktops…

Lasers must be the most fun technology out there!

It's incredible how buggy Stage Manager still is on macOS since it was released over 1,5 year ago..!

Parenting Pro Tip I discovered today: my 5y old son has been suuuper loud playing in the living room (right behind the wall). So I put on two noise cancelling headsets: AirPods Pro and over-the-ear Bose QC and it's just the best thing ever...

For the last ~1.5y I've been working on a one huge project – really fun one and exciting. But it's primarily macOS native app and I really miss working on Web or iOS apps...

So if you're looking for a freelancer to work on iOS or Web app - let me know!

More about me: plud.net

We're building pretty custom looking native app on macOS and to speedup testing and play with some interactions I put together a quick prototype with web tech (react + tailwind) basically recreating the desktop experience.

„(…) Project demanded long hours and many working weekends for hundreds of Microsoft employees (…) over a period of several months.”

1/n

Is there any prototyping tool that can handle well transitions with background blur and shadows?

(except SwiftUI...)

Have you noticed how bottom of the OpenAI's Sora page looks like movie end credits? What a lovely detail!

My wish list for Posts:
🖼️ double tap for zooming images
🗂️ saving/bookmarking posts
ℹ️ letting users add short bio in profiles
🏭 prevent org accounts from signing up
💌 keep it invite-only, reduce # of invites – use early Dribbble model

It’s been 1 week (of pretty heavy usage) since I got my M2 MacBook Pro and I’ve just heard a fan spinning for the first time and it lasted around 5-10secs.

I barely remember NOT hearing fans in my previous MBP (with Intel inside)🥲

This new MBP was worth it!

"The curse of being a designer is your creativity is always stuck in someone else's pipeline"

My friend shared that thought with me and damn it resonates!

Lemon Squeezy calling Stripe "Sticky tape solution" on their pricing comparison table is next level 😀

Shower thought: When wearing Vision Pro you shouldn't even see any Sign-in/Login forms - it should authenticate you automatically by scanning your eye.

I've been playing a lot with ProtoPie and it's pretty good for crafting little micro interactions and building prototypes... But daaaaamn it's so expensive! Over $800 per year?!

Any alternatives out there?

It's such a simple but descriptive explanation of a new  gesture... 👏👏👏

WhatsApp is now one of the sponsors for Mercedes F1 team. Because of that they changed the communication button (letting the driver speak with engineer) on the steering wheel so it's now shows the WhatsApp logo.

Tiny details like that... 😻🤤

I wish there was a combination of Dribbble/Layers with Posts with...

• Dribbble - sharing pixels, not very useful nowadays:) But it still has some exposure!
• Layers - new Dribbble (at least for me) but it has very little exposure
• Twitter: tech + design ppl
• Posts: design ppl

I think this might be one of the most exciting and interesting docuseries out there! I can't wait to watch it! 😍 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSCjIRdu1ZY

When I got promoted to Principal Designer years ago, "strategy" became part of my job description. Only thing is... I didn't know what strategy *was*.

For years I stumbled and made a fool of myself until finally it clicked. This is the guide I wish I had:

Nice marketing... 

It's like they asked ChatGPT to come up with the 5 worst ideas to spam their users.
