Chinese app design looks weird. But, they work just as well as other apps and websites around the world. Why is that? I mean, it's cluttered, overwhelming for the eyes, and kinda just throws a bunch of things at you. Turns out, beneath the incredibly cluttered user interface lies undeniable psychology.  In this video, I cover why this "cluttered and weird" design is necessary, how physical space correlates with Chinese software design, why Chinese users might prefer mobile over desktop altogether, and how all of this impacts us.

To be honest, which one do you think is more suitable for posting photos? Forgive me for still being a classical photo shooter rather than a short video creator.

I created this using Airtable's interface feature. Unfortunately, it requires logging in to use. If you would like to try it out first, you can give it a try:

Retro, AMO of these apps, it seems, is no longer in use by many people.

To take great photos, focus on aesthetics. I improve my taste by analyzing top contest winners and share these resources with you.

It feels like I'm back in the early days of Dribbble, and I also have 5 layer invitations to share.

Polaroid plays with a period of cyclical results presentation.

It's quite peculiar that my photos and videos on Instagram receive no interaction, whereas here I get a lot of attention.

There was a sense of the transitory about those colors.

https://cseec.com/ What do you think about my website?

Which color do you like the best?

If you are also a photography enthusiast, take a look at my collection to see if it's useful to you. Of course, I update it frequently. And if you have any other good ideas, feel free to let me know.

Is anyone still using retro? I feel like almost all my friends don’t use retro anymore.

I'm curious about how you perceive the design of Chinese applications.

Instagram’s co-founders are shutting down their Artifact

VHS (short term for Video Home System) invented in September 9, 1976 by the JVC (Victor Company of Japan).
Funai of Japan, ceased production in July 31 2016. 
Lifespan: 46 year. 
Died six years ago today.

Today, I've nearly completed one of my side projects. I've collected both vintage film and instant cameras that are still on the market. They continue the classic design while also incorporating modern elements.

Since artifact stopped operating, I don’t know where to look for interesting apps. Is there any good way to share?

Ah, this Modyfi is quite difficult to use for now. It's more natural to just click and select, but they insist on adding a chatbox to type in commands, that's not how AI should be used.

I want new Arc icons, please accept my invitation, only then can I get those icons!
