"The ideal UI is no UI". While we're waiting for Neuralink and AI agents, let's strive to design products that reduce customers' need to spend time "using products" to get the benefits. Diego gets it 👇

If everyone who shared how to pronounce their name in their Slack profile switched to a rhyme-based format, like "rhymes with [1+ dictionary words]", we'd collectively save 2.6 weeks each day (excluding weekends). -Adam Ruf (rhymes w/"stuff") ✌️❤️

@Meetup Any teams over there tasked with and funded for improving group organizer experience? 🤔 If it increases chances that broken UX windows would get fixed this year, I'd love to have a chat with your Product/UX.

@Apple thx for the @figma iOS 17 design resources!🙌 Please consider adding more Keyboard variants, like numbers & punctuation.🙏

@baxtostore False advertising scam, avoid Baxto at all costs! Customer service equally poor. They refused to pay for return postage for a refund, so I ate the cost of 1 die. For the legit dice, go to the source at etsy.com/listing/135800…

@baxtostore False advertising scam, avoid at all cost. Don't trust Baxto for anything. They didn't offer free return for refund, so I ate the chat of 1 die. For the legit awesome dice, go to the source at etsy.com/listing/135800…

@jonkantner @CodePen Fun! Also, I fixed it: codepen.io/adamruf/pen/Ba… 🙃

Cooked up another toggle switch… and I mean cooked up! 🍳 codepen.io/jkantner/pen/r… @CodePen #CSS

Toil-reducing @figma PSA: ⌘(command) + L copies a link to the selected frame (or page, if no frame selected). They forgot to call it out in the menu, so I fixed it for them in the attached image. Note: shortcut doesn't work for Sections, that still requires right-click menu.😔

@RyanQYao @eventbrite @Meetup Thx! Rhetorical question and I agree that high quality alone isn't enough. I'd really like to see them fix bugs and broken/low-quality features. EB: images, Agenda & FAQ features, error states, can't save because on page too long, etc. MU: images, messaging, payment options

@UXAdamRuf @eventbrite @Meetup Because a lot of times good design is not enough to persuade people to use a new software. They rather use something they are familiar with and they heard about.

How are @Eventbrite and @Meetup still around? Using their software to GSD as an organizer is a huge PITA. In the immortal words of anyone who's ever used shitty software, "Does anyone there actually use the product?" 🤔 Also, likely UXers there who are like "OMG, I know!"😓

@Gary_Rozanski Hang in there, Gary! Sometimes stepping away for even 20 minutes to take a walk or however you like to clear your head can make a difference. I hope you're feeling better soon. Good luck with your job hunt!

@FonsMans @figma Keyboard shortcuts for grabbing a link to selected frame. 5-10x daily annoyance.

If you could Magically add one feature to @figma, what would it be? 🤔

@TheToyChronicle @Gary_Rozanski It's been 3 days with no response from Gary. Why is it so hard to get some help? 😞 I hope y'all are okay over there. If I don't get a direct response with updates on my orders by Friday, I'll have to dispute the charges. Please DM me if you have any questions.🙏

@UXAdamRuf Sorry for the inconvenience sales can be directed to @Gary_Rozanski hopefully he will respond soon for you

@TheToyChronicle 👋 How do I get some with a couple orders? I emailed 2 different addresses, news@ and sales@, several days ago with no response. Hope everything's alright over there!

@figmadesign will you please allow us to use objects inside components as reference anchors for aligning loose objects? e.g., I have a table heading component with two elements: label and sort icon. I want to quickly left-align a loose text element to the heading component text.
