A screenshot of a recommendation text by Yuki Wada with her image avatar. The text reads, "I have worked with Vaibhav for the second time because he is a great developer! Good communicator as well. He nicely took care of my website, moreover, he found a problem that I didn't notice and fixed it right away. I highly recommend him"

Yet another out-of-the-dribble-or-behance monthly design list. Get inspired.

Design Monthly Vol. 12

Figma was the latest company to mishandle AI and design — foreshadowing the loss of a vast array of design jobs. We should demand better from our tools and industry.

Design deserves better than Figma AI

I am finally starting the http://animation.dev course by 
emilkowalski

Check out my first experiment with ReactJS and Framer Motion, where I recreated the new Figma toolbar. What do you think
https://figma-toolbar.vercel.app/

Building my own little poster design tool.

Probably one of the most unique footer link sections I have seen recently.

Morphic's landing page + this footer combo is 🔥

Here comes the final on-scroll blur effect made using GSAP 🔥

Effect #5 uses opacity and skew in X-axis change, CSS filter, and transforms.

Adding a top of it, there's a sine animation easing ✨

Excited to start working on this tiny but mighty On-Scroll Blur Reveal effects project ✨

I'm experimenting with 5 different types of reveals and here's #1 made with GSAP 🧑‍💻

How does it look?

I sent an invoice on Contra, sent the client confirmation about it, and IMMEDIATELY I got a notification and a mail from Contra that the invoice was paid 🤯

This was the fastest-ever invoice paid to me lol, blazing fast work both by the client and the Contra team 💛

Particle playground. Learning progress.  #threejs #r3f #shaders #nextjs

I used Figma so little that today I got to know that if you double click on a layer's icon (be it a frame, group or an auto-layout), it will zoom in smoothly into it 🔍

Folder looking portfolio widget, should I add it to alexstreza.dev?

Guess who's making Framer's Figma SaaS UI to a coded Next.js project instead of using it directly on Framer? 👀

WIP...sharing the entire page soon ✨

So today's win is that I got a message on Layers for a project 🎉

This is the one and the only message I have on Layers, haha, and as a dev who also does designs, hearing "Your designs are simply beautiful" is a double win 🏆

🤞

I have zero coding knowledge but just used Claude to generate a simple React gradient tool. Put it together in VS Code, did my first Github push and got it up on Vercel. This was fun!!

took tons of photos today since the sunlight is awesome, and this is my favorite. Did not realize that the man thumped up and the girl winked towards me when I took this shot, so missed the opportunity to respond back. But really love this shot when I view it on the screen 📸

A dino just landed in a fun website design arena! 🦖

Made w/ Webflow x Lottie Files

Finished creating a "remarkable" style guide in @figma based on the Remarkable landing page I made previously in Webflow 

It's time for V2! 🎉

Did you know that Figma drafts are just an "invisible" project? You can actually grab this drafts project ID and access your drafts via Figma's REST API.

Just navigate to your drafts and then search for paginated_files in your network requests.

Kicking off this week with a brand new recommendation on Contra for a Framer project 🥳

Yuki is such a humble person that she praised me all along, praised my skills and communication and even sent me a good bonus amount.

3 Creative fields I was surprised to learn they enjoyed my monthly list:

1. Industrial designers (Automobile industry)
2. Video editors 
3. Entrepreneurs (Tech industry)

Designed this wallpaper/poster ,this weekend🫰🏻

Here we go! Finished implementing and sharing all 5 on-scroll blur reveal effects made in @greensock ✨

It's an extra smooth scroll thanks to Lenis and it's coded in vanilla HTML and Tailwind CSS. 

Uses Scroll Trigger, Smooth Scroll, Split Type and Text Splitter utilities ⚡

Made this file system item recursive React component to make a folder/file tree-like directory ✨

Starting my own recruiting company and need a designer to create the website - DM me!

Playing with MapKit today, drag around the map to get a random restaurant recommendation each time, placeholder images being used, work in progress but got the demo working

What a nice day to read emails. Can't wait to use auto-layout in Sketch 

Auto layout is in active development! Truly, a gem of a tool 💎

Here we go! Finished making another on-scroll blur animation #4 using GSAP 🔥

I call this one 'dusting-off' 🧹💨

This one uses both CSS filters and transforms with a 1.1 scale animation in both X and Y axes along with good old stagger ⚡

Is their a tool for leaders of smaller(ish) teams to manage onboarding new hires? Think like creating a workflow for provisioning access (slack, notion, figma etc) and resources/learning paths.
