New Figma design today, been playing with noisy gradients.

People who post these kind of jobs need to be studied 😅

I wonder if this guy knows how many times UX/UI designers have put his face in mockups...

@oykun 100% agree

The evidence is clear that apps are the easiest to build than ever before with advancements like Cursor, which means the simple apps are going to become more plentiful. If you want yours to stand-out, try solving a real world problem instead of another pretty Todo App.

@auchenberg Reading a paperback book in a sauna is crazy. That poor book.

@tj_rowe The good old days

@Justin_UXUI I think a lot of designers must be really missing Flash. Seeing more and more of this lately.

I love websites like this but at the same time this webpage barely loaded on fast internet and a Macbook Pro 2019.

Wow I don't think I've ever seen Github down before. That's really not a good look for such a major provider. @github

@carolletta I'm sure soon enough there will be a function to update all unnamed layers with AI so either way the debate won't matter lol.

@Justin_UXUI If you work with components, you just name them once, and that’s it. I prefer to have it tidy as it is more efficient, but you can also have a mess when you are in concept mode…

I keep seeing the debates on naming layers in Figma or not. If you can't operate just as efficiently with poorly named layers, you have bigger issues to worry about. If you have the time though, sure then do it.

@jezell @colourfulchris Could you expand on this? Hard to envision how to improve upon this spider-web experience. But sounds interesting.

IMO, the thing that these tools always get wrong is that they don't do a good job of separating the control flow from the UI. Yes, clicking the button should take you to a new screen, but IMO you need two views to get UI flow stuff right, not one. A view where you have a normal flowchart and a view where you have the UI. Split screen when you want to see both, and the ability to hover an item and the screen and have it highlighted in both screens, or click the item in one screen and have it highlighted in the other would be a lot better. Trying to do it all in one view always creates the web of doom.

Building today in Figma

It's a shame to have so many unfinished projects, I think everyone should eventually revisit those projects and at least complete them even if they aren't perfect, it's something.

@_bussyboi There’s some tools that do that already, but not the most elegant yet.

@Justin_UXUI I wish I can just talk to it and it will design itself😂😂😂😂

What are some features you wish Figma had?

@gregorykennedy Ai generated replies can be spotted a mile away now.

What I am canceling in 2024: → All AI generated replies Please write a thoughtful reply instead. → Emojis in a sentence This 🙏 has to stop 🛑. → WFH/RTO debates There is no one-size-fits-all answer. → "How amazing SF is" posts Cute posts won't fix the city's real problems. → "X is dead" posts Here we are, and it's still here. → Tie-dye as a pattern on anything Leave it for first-year college bros. → Carbonated coffee Wonder why this never took off? (yuck) → Electric gravel bikes Ride hard on your own power. → Omnichannel marketing You don't need to be on every channel.

@Victor_Webflow I think I’d rather just get paid in exposure at that point.

That’s $10 per page right ? 😆😆 Don’t apply if you’re not comfortable with the budget…. Lmao

Recruiters and companies aren’t sourcing designers on Twitter though. Dribbble is still the more popular choice for discovering portfolios and active designers.

@hinsencamp Uh oh...

@Ohnorrrrr I had a recruiter once tell me that my artistic resume stood out as a breath of fresh air and I ended up working there. But Maybe a blend of both can be good.

@Justin_UXUI Plain

For designers, do you have a plain black & white resume, or is it artistic looking?
