After ±8 years, it was time for a new profile picture — and website. ✨ Built with @framer, a powerful tool that enabled me to design, animate, and publish with a single click. 🤩 It’s still a w.i.p. (as it should be), you can check it out here: jpkoudstaal.com

@iamharaldur Congratulations! 🥳

@DannPetty Same here, Dann. Last year the pain got so bad, I had an MRI and turned out to be a neck hernia (the numb fingertips are a sign). The only thing that worked for me were painkillers, stretching and more movement. Hope you find something that works for you.

Any pillow recommendations for bad neck pain due to poor posture, sitting at desk? Been having neck pains which also hits my chest and back. Fingers tingle often.

@mds Thanks for the live critique, Matt. I already changed some font-sizes and added new hover-images with actual work in them. Now I got to work on a new intro-section... 😅

live design critiques happening at 1pm EST, if you wanna attend at the last minute → shiftnudge.com/critique

Not sure if I’ll be able to "shift" 📷 from keyboard shortcuts to a mechanical keyboard, but it does looks nice! 🙌🏻 worklouder.cc/figma/

@danmall Original is my favorite: I don’t want to “hop thru” it, I want to read a personal story. The alternative looks like a spam email that is trying very hard to sell something. I assume the latter will lead to many unreads and unsubscribe s.

One of my newsletter readers was kind enough to send me some feedback! They mentioned that my emails are blocks of text that seemed “tiring to read.” So, they made some changes to “help readers hop thru the article much easier.” Do you agree? Original vs. new version.

@cameronmoll Do you mean “paste over selection” (⇧ + ⌘ + V)?

Oh how I wish Figma had Illustrator's ⌘-F to paste exactly in place above a selected element.

@sannewijbenga @framer I’ve been using a hidden page to play around with sections and components. Most of the time it’s more about tweaking of existing stuff, based on the components and styles I’ve already defined.

Just added light and dark mode to my @framer website! 🌞🌚 You can toggle themes with the little switch in the top right, but it also follows your device settings. I like the dark version better. Which one do you prefer? jpkoudstaal.com #madewithframer

@danmall Good luck at the dentist today Dan. Hope you don’t have to get a root canal. Just the thought of it is unnerving.

@dirkhens @framer Thanks Dirk! 🤗

@jpkoudstaal @framer Lovely stuff JP

New @MDS design critique video: 40min deepdive on a shopping cart app design. Matt, this is your best one yet! I love seeing your thought process and was nodding my head the whole time. youtube.com/watch?v=wXAa2H…

@maxvoltar @zoink @figma Congratulations! 🥳

A decade ago I first visited @zoink at the small @figma office in Palo Alto. They were working on blending modes that week. We continued chatting on and off throughout the years, and finally all the pieces fell into place. Excited to work with this crew ❤️

@svorklab Rotterdam is the best and has great architecture. You might consider Utrecht too, easy by train and has an old city centre.

Any recommendations for 🇳🇱🌷? What to explore in and outside of Amsterdam + NL by 🚂😅

Feedback is essential for designers who want to improve their skills. And seeing @mds review and critique @Yanick_Jimenez’s portfolio in detail is very instructive. 🙌🏻 Watch the first of (at least) 5 reviews here: youtube.com/watch?v=eL8Liy…

@mds Separating UX and Visual designers was a mistake.

What’s a strong opinion about design that very few people agree with you on?

Just found a great resource that curates deck design inspiration. 🔗 deck.gallery

I started writing again. This is my first post. Hope u like it. 👇 "Buy my course and make six figures" claudioguglieri.substack.com/p/269f1808-943…

A lot of folks are invested in looking like they’re always in-demand, and sure there’s a psychological factor to seeming “not” when you’re not, but I don’t care. :) I’m Joshua, I design brand identities (and other things) and I don’t have much work right now. Contact info below!
