@newincreative @tryramp Thank you my friend, keep dropping the heat as well – always a treat seeing your stuff in my timeline 🤙🔥

@ItsJonHowell @tryramp This is real nice mate. Great work by the team.

The Brand Experience team @tryramp recently built some micro-interactions, icon animations, and even sonic feedback into this receipt fetching prototype ✨ Make sure to turn your sound on! 🙃

@jakedugard @arcinternet @diabrowser I'm a fan of @comet 😇

About to give up on @arcinternet and @diabrowser 😔

who is still working remotely? feels like the tech industry has taken a massive shift.

@jakemesser_ @tryramp

@ItsJonHowell @tryramp Just needs an overly aggressive denial sound now

@joshdesignsxyz @marcelosomers @tryramp

@marcelosomers @tryramp @ItsJonHowell tfw your new easing curves are inspired by the timing of a frontside wrap

nav exploration for @tryramp Stack. s/o @ItsJonHowell brandxp team for new easing curves!

@lalizlabeth @tryramp @southpkcommons I spy a @markjohnsoncc 👀

@marcelosomers @tryramp

@lalizlabeth @tryramp

@ItsJonHowell @tryramp the little details 🥺

@ItsJonHowell it's almosttttt like you can't actually (certainly shouldn't!) separate brand and product design 🙊

To achieve excellence, you must build a culture of critique.

More of this type of heat 🔥

Well that would be cool if I was using a Basic plan 🥲 Nine days ago I upgraded to the Scale plan for $1,200/yr as I kept barely going over the 100GB bandwidth allowance and now I see the Scale plan doesn't even exist anymore and it's considered a legacy plan... What now bro? 💀

@ItsJonHowell @benjaminnathan bro we already doubled them on basic last month 😭 x.com/framer/status/…

We’ve been heads-down for a long time, working on an all-new, completely redesigned Framer. I’m very proud of how it turned out. Framer 3.0 is coming soon.

Design at Ramp looks very different than it did a year ago but a few core things have not changed; the role of design is to distill problems to their essence, obsess over craft and delight where it matters most, know customers deeply and advocate for them, lead with creativity and storytelling, and keep it fun, because a product built with joy always wins. I'm looking for a Director of Product Design to lead some of our highest-priority bets. This role is for you if you’re excited by: Leading through craft, setting vision and unlocking customer impact: you will define where a product should go, then jump into the details with the team to unblock, teach, and ship. You raise the bar through product judgment, design craft, and your ability to make everyone around you better. Actually shipping and demonstrating real impact: You'll start by owning a product area and team to build trust and get your bearings at Ramp, with room to take on broader leadership over time. You'll stay close to customers and ship meaningful work alongside your designers, product managers and engineers. Building the environment where great work comes from: clear roles, high standards, low ego, and just enough structure to keep the bar high without slowing people down. That means building a caring yet demanding structure, investing deeply in people — coaching, feedback, growth — so designers can do the best work of their careers and develop in this new age of Design. It’s never been a more interesting time to build. Link below.

@ItsJonHowell pretty sure the apple design team has a spy in your slack channel 🕵️‍♂️

Just for the record, I know it's just six dots... So relax before ya'll go off in the comments. But it's crazy to see how similar the new Siri icon and animation states are (in this thread) compared to what we were working on back in early March. Sandbox UI inspo came from @benjitaylor: x.com/benjitaylor/st…

@amfonte Haha yea, this was a snippet from the video we did for the Stack launch last week. Those specific sounds aren’t in the actual product, but they’re definitely I nice flourish to highlight the product experience! ✨

@ItsJonHowell Those little UI sounds are lovely. And that drop bounce is perfection. No notes!

@hckmstrrahul Yea, unfortunately we didn't have the luxury of using a dark system layer as it spans so many surfaces and UI applications in the product that use a lighter interface. Which obviously made it tough to achieve a glow or lighting effect on those lighter surfaces 😅

@ItsJonHowell the permanent black system layer treatment is something that we worked on for our assistant as well. had similar feelings like you put down in this tweet :))

Also, the dark background on Apple's UI definitely did some favors when it comes to the glow and light effect within the UI, it looks nice ✨

Not to mention the fact that most users wouldn't notice and/or know the difference between what animation correlates with the action. Some of them obviously make more sense than others as you'll see in the video I shared at the top of this thread 🔮
