@aleksliving I started something, for now it’s focused on everything else but UI/visual design x.com/aakashwakeup/s…

how long until designers start productizing their skills.md files?

just hit 10 likes and 40 users!🕺

new project: superskilled AI has 10xed by productivity as a designer. A ton of this productivity came from sharp UX Writing, feedback triaging, and bouncing ideas like I'm talking to a peer. Superskilled is a opensource set of ready-to-use skills for AI assistants.

@monali_dambre Hello 👋 aakash.design

Finding great designers is harder than it should be right now. If you care deeply about craft and are exploring opportunities, share your portfolio below. A few really good, well funded startups are hiring designer rn.

@aakashwakeup Looks great Aakash! Can we speak (again)?

I just rebuilt my personal site with Claude Code, link below

There is an anecdote in Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs about how the entire phone industry switched to the unibody design. While traveling in France, Jobs and Ive went into a kitchen supply store. Ive picked up a knife he admired, but then put it down in disappointment. Jobs did the same. "We both noticed a tiny bit of glue between the handle and the blade," Ive recalled. They talked about how the knife's good design had been ruined by the way it was manufactured. "We don't like to think of our knives as being glued together" Ive said. The unibody approach evolved through the Mac line before reaching the iPhone. Instead of assembling a laptop from stamped sheet metal parts screwed together, the case was CNC-milled from a single block of aluminum. No joins. No seams. No glue between the handle and the blade, so to speak. By 2012, the iPhone 5 brought a standard-setting aluminum unibody to the phone itself, along with diamond-cut chamfered edges. The sealed body without removable batteries was a design decision. When consumers held a unibody iPhone alongside one with a removable battery, they consistently chose the unibody as more premium and refined. Competitors had no choice but to follow or lose sales to Apple. The ripple effect across the entire industry was enormous. First, Samsung's flagship range lost removable batteries with the Galaxy S5 . Every other manufacturer followed. So to answer OP's question: Yes, it was capitalism, but only because consumers kept picking the unibody as the more premium, finished product. Everyone else just had to catch up.

It took 19 days to go from 0 users to 10. My goal is 100 users. What is the best way to promote my figma community project?

they say the first 10 users are the hardest to get 🎉

@Debsourabh What is your prototype stack?

This is exactly what I have been doing since Jan! It is great!
