Interview with Scott Savarie

Being in Posts makes me want to start a side project. Is anyone else feeling inspired too?

For my 🇺🇸 friends that have tomorrow off: are you designing/building anything cool on your day off?

I’ve never understood creative/development work that was charged “by the hour.”

The deliverable is what matters, and more experienced professionals don’t take as long. Makes more sense to base rate based on deliverables with hourly change rates imo.

We're prepping to release a massive UI update; getting the chance to go back and work out the *little delightful details* is such a wonderful way to spend a Saturday.

Like this switch for example, with the gentle spring and soft color changes between transitions.

I like that light-modes are making a comeback ☀️

Building training content has been historically awful—and never mobile-optimized.

Really proud to be pioneering an age of accessible, design-forward, mobile-friendly learning tools @ Basewell.

Because training videos from the 90's delivered in 480p aren't cutting it 🤢

Who else here is doing @cv's app icon redesign contest?

Really excited to share Basewell's vision on the future of tech, AI, and human performance development:

Was thinking today: I'm really glad the @cv team launched support options. Nobody wants these platforms to go away, and it's more important than ever for people to have a more human space to express themselves/showcase work.

Dropping a posts-only preview of our fresh app design, landing in November 🥳

Finally snapped a new pic and stopped using my PFP from 2020 🙃

I'm so proud of what our team has accomplished. Over the weekend, we shipped a massive analytics update to Basewell... and are re-learning every day that working with big data is no small task! 😅

h/t to those of you who work with big data every day.

Are you tuning in to the Apple event today? 

What’s the best book you’ve read so far this year?

Are the jobs/homepages of read.cv down for anyone else?

Flipbook-style animation, but it’s actually a variable font

Going from X to Posts is like drinking a cool glass of fresh water on a hot summer day

To celebrate that Play is sponsoring read.cv's newsletter this week, I recreated the app using native modals, webviews and scroll triggers.

Unrelated post to my normal content, but we're expanding Basewell access to new cohorts and I'd love to include teams in the Read/Posts network!

Just comment below if you want to trial beautifully-designed employee training tools and I'll get you access 🤝

Fun fact, I made this "laptop" on our landing page (basewell.com) with just a few <div> components (wrapping a screenshot).

Going to enhance it next week with better lighting, shadows, and an interactive app (vs. screenshot), but thought the original concept turned out nicely!

Threads is exciting and all, but honestly prefer our community here on posts 💙

What was your favorite announcement from Config today?

Vercel (in collaboration with Basement Studio) just dropped a stunning new font with sans and mono variations.

Is Geist going to be the new Inter?

it’s official 🪄 

Diagram + Figma 

the mission stays the same, the team just got wayyy bigger

so grateful to be joining the ridiculously talented Figma team and continue to explore AI in design

Single-payment software destroys incentive for the company to continue iterating and improving on the core user experience/feature set.

Agree or no?

In 10 years apps that aren’t adaptive—those that refuse to know and confirm to the specific, nuanced ways in which you work—will become obsolete

Hi everyone, today we're officially announcing our supporter tier! We've written a little bit more about our motivations behind becoming user supported here: https://read.cv/about/supporters

We have lots of cool stuff planned, and we'd love to get your feedback! 💛

I die a little every time someone says comfterbility instead of comfort. 

The word is just comfort you don’t need to add anything.

I'm so proud of how this update turned out.

We eliminated all friction when creating coursework so you can spend more time building (and less time screwing with unintuitive software).

From idea → coursework draft → published training in <90 seconds 🤯

the username was taken: corporate edition 🤔

I absolutely love our bold "start for free" modal on Basewell.com

What are you working on tonight/this weekend?

Exciting to see my last project at Airbnb getting released. Can’t wait for people to experience it as guests!

What are you most proud of accomplishing so far this year?

Look what’s here 👀

A quick one-hour remix of the Posts App Icon. @andy @cv

Big shoutout to our friends @scott and @v for launching current.so today! We took this as an opportunity to do a little behind the scenes interview with Scott about his background and the motivation behind Current 🌱

Beautiful design doesn't fix poor UX, but it certainly is the polish that makes a good app spectacular.

Working on analytics/data UX is probably one of the toughest—and most exciting—things you can do in front-end web dev

Happy Saturday! What are you working on this weekend?
