@shashpicious_ Front-end development is what killed my creativty. I always think about how to build something before I design it. If it's too complicated to build, I scratch it. It's a curse.

I think coding is slowly killing my design taste. ever since I started spending more time inside IDEs, something’s shifted in my brain. earlier, my default mode was pure design, obsessing over spacing, micro-interactions, tiny details that no one notices but everyone feels. now I start with constraints. scalability, edge cases, timelines, dev effort. “can we build this?” shows up way before “does this feel right?” and the weird part is I still see everything. I know when something feels off, when it could be pushed further, when it lacks that sharpness. I just… don’t go there anymore. I cut iterations faster. I compromise earlier. I settle for “this works” instead of “this feels right.” I think being close to code rewires you. you start filtering ideas through feasibility, and slowly, taste takes a backseat to practicality. craft gets replaced by closure. and it’s such a silent shift you don’t even realise it’s happening. is this growth or is this how designers slowly lose their edge without even noticing it ?

@stevelauda_ Many sucked designers around lately 😂

"DeSiGn wItH oNLy AesTHeticS Is JusT PreTTy PiXELs, iTs NoT DeSIGn" Yeah, okay. But usually this kind of statement coming from people who are sucks at making their design looks decent visually. Stop playing defense on the area that you're sucked on, more learning than yapping.

@jonathontoon Plus their reputation exceed their online presence 😅

because designing for yourself is hell

@adrianoreis @framer Currently yes. Might change, though!

@cosmindesign @framer Really cool Cosmin! Curious, does the preloader plays everytime you come back to the home from other pages?

I present to you my most complex @framer build. Not because of design complexity, but because of the transitions. It still needs some polishing, especially on the mobile side, but it turned out quite amazing!

@ruhullaamin @framer Heavily!

There are things that AI did better than you. First, there's a visual hierarchy in the AI version. You just greyed everything out, creating confusion as in what has priority. Yes, in terms of spacing, yours is better, but the AI version gives more guidance to the user where they should look first.

AI can generate a UI. It cannot design one. Drafted by AI. Polished by designer Which side would you choose? 👇

The REAL thing that is killing designers is this urge to be super fast and deliver 78323 things in a day. Take your time and think things through. Stop setting up expectations you can barely meet. Sleep on things and you'll find better options.

@unrootdesign Do people just book the time, or do you have an i tro convo before giving them the link to book the call?

5+ prospect calls booked this month. 0 showed up. Everyone wants to “build something great” but can’t show up for a 30 min call. How do you deal with this?

@dariusdan Happy birthday, man! Hope you have a great day!

Turned 40. 🥳 Deeply grateful for everything so far. My journey in the creative field started back in 2008, designing avatars/signatures. By 2014, I went full-time freelance as designer. Since then, I’ve been helping people shape ideas through icons, illustrations, and logos.

@MihaiDolganiuc Hmm, I think it would help more if I saw them in place along other brand elements, but I love both the orange and purple ones. It just depends on the personality you'd want to evoke.

Which Janie logotype is the best?

@pizzaboy 😂

bro blocked me for speaking the truth

UI/UX design agencies. Comment your portfolio below. Need someone for 10 page website.

@rohan360d @framer Thanks! I have no particular process tbh.

@cosmindesign @framer What a work bro. Impressive work. What's your template building process?

Another weekend, another @framer build. I've had a lot of fun designing and building this. Looking for a fresh new website?

@UiSavior I'd just use "Keep" and "Delete" as buttons. Adding "No,..." and "Yes,..." makes it a bit harder to read. People need to quickly find the option they're looking for, not play this whole script.

Which delete modal feels clearer?

@dmiiiitrii Getting @rogie Komodo Media vibes from back in the day 😅

@oykun There's a huge obsession with doing things fast and it's scary. Yeah you can sometimes on-shot something awesome, but most of the times it won't do much good apart from looking cool. Design takes time, not on execution, but on planning and research.

designers in 2020: i spent 3 weeks on this. designers in 2026: ai did this in 4 seconds but i spent 3 weeks tweaking it.

@xchylerdrenth Those look amazing! Something inside me wants to see them animating.
