A mockup of a sign in dialog for Google. The Sign in is top-down (not left-right like the new one). And the email/phone textbox-label is placed on the text field edge to be out of the way.

By all accounts, Figma has been an amazing tool for designers. We've used it extensively at 37signals, and I'm sure most every other software shop has too. Adobe didn't pay $20 billion for nothing. But we don't do the bulk of our design work with or in Figma when developing Basecamp or HEY for the web. That's all done directly in HTML ...

A screenshot showing the Apple Music app’s mini player next to some widgets. A red circle highlights the top right corner of the Music app and the top left corner of a widget. The app has a much smaller corner radius.

#WWDC2023 Today is the day! I'll be active on Ivory, posts.cv feels more like the place to post polished works.

*New work- Product design for Therma

Mini case study
https://addison.design/case-studies/therma

I like working a few hours on the weekend to take the pressure off the hours I feel I need to put in during the week.

We live in the information age. AI tools like ChatGPT are constantly churning out low quality nonsense. This needs to change.

I've decided to apply for a Master's program in design. Wish me luck 🍀

Apple HomePods are great — when they're working. Which makes them great about 50% of the time.

There, I fixed it: Google Sign In. The email/phone input-label will remain visible while you type.

What is this about? See: https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/21/24079445/google-sign-in-password-login-redesign

It just forwards to my tech blog experiment right now, but I just had to buy my name as a blog domain: wenzels.blog

Some on #Adobe, all I want is to save an EPS to hand-off to print!

iOS 17.2 allows you to disable playback history for Apple Music in selected focus modes. No more gym-music ruining your Apple Music algorithm! 🙌

InVision’s shutdown (https://www.invisionapp.com/inside-design/invision-design-collaboration-services-shutdown/) once again strengthens my conviction to avoid cloud based solutions for long term storage and documentation.

I wish there was an iPod Classic 2023 edition with ISB-C.

Should I blog? Should I not? That is the question. I've been writing beachball.tech for a bit, but I feel stupid reading my older posts. Maybe I should just keep at it and see how quickly I can improve the quality?

After Twitter, I felt a bit lost and Mastodon was nice but never really completely what I was looking for. Posts.cv is great 💚

Life is precious and about so much more. Make use of the time you have.
 
Call somebody who you haven’t called in a while.
 
Give somebody a hug who you haven’t given a hug in a while.

Random idea for high school teachers, give students an essay written by ChatGPT and asked them to find the parts that are not accurate.

An assignment to make them question what they read on the internet. A skill that every day is more important than ever 🙃

Product videos showcasing push notifications for a workflow that interrupt a worker’s personal time are not ads, they are red-flags. Getting pinged about a work project while at the gym is not a feature, it’s a bug.

Small dogs get a bad rep for their behavior, but #TIL that big dogs would behave the same without training. We humans just neglect to train small dogs properly because we can physically stop them from misbehaving.

Apple offers good protections, if you enable them. However, not all your data is encrypted. You should do it anyways: https://proton.me/blog/iphone-privacy

Encrypto, a free app: https://macpaw.com/encrypto

An easy to use tool to encrypt files on Windows and Mac so you can send them via emails etc. Don’t send passwords or credit card data via email attachment. But if you must, please, for the love of your hidden nudes, encrypt them!

Imagine Apple making a first-party mechanical keyboard. They could put a whole ass computer in there, Touch ID and sell it as the perfect Vision Pro companion. Would solve this weird half-mast thing people are doing with their laptops and Vision Pro.

The #WWDC23 pins arrived a while ago, and I just love the simplicity of this M2 pin!

I didn’t know you could be a supporter here on Posts.CV — I love it, this platform is becoming more and more what I always wanted Twitter to be 💙

I wish widgets on #macOS #Sonoma had the same corner-radius as apps — or the other way round.

#Meta was fined USD 1.3B and seems to think it doesn’t have to change how it does business. And EU companies use US services that are probably not compliant with #GDPR to compete in the digital market.

Here is a reminder of how #Apple uses #AI https://youtu.be/8sX9IEHWRJ8

Today my YouTube looked very different than it did yesterday. First I was irritated, but this layout makes better use of the available screen real estate. I just think its not aesthetically pleasing.

The iPod was simple, iTunes was complex. I would use the feature rich, but complex iTunes to purchase music, and setup my playlists. But, I used the distractions-free iPod to listen to music. I miss that approach. Today, everything feels so complex all the time.

Furry unicorns possess the extraordinary ability to change the color of their fur at will, allowing them to blend seamlessly into their surroundings and evade detection from curious onlookers. #randomGPT

I just love this community! It's so full of friendly people and beautiful photos.
