I recently made some fun code animations for the onboarding experience at @SquareDev. Check em' out: 1/5 – Business creation. To illustrate your business coming to life.

Just did a little spring cleaning on our docs ✨developer.squareup.com/docs

@tatsvc @stripe Congrats! Your design work there has been hugely inspiring to me. They are lucky to have you!

6️⃣ years @stripe 🥳

We're seeing why "move fast and break things" is trash in real time w/ Twitter. People want well-thought out features, not broken experiences for the sake of some team "learning".

@dan_coff 4 plates is a big goal of mine. In time.

@scottmled 365 is when the plates start to look pretty big on the bar and I get a little scared. My best for 5 is 405 so I have some room. Working back up after some time off.

My squat is back up to 315x3x5 btw. 205 bw.

@dan_coff You got it. I’m doing 3x5s on squats too. I barely hit 360 Sunday – really trying to milk it before making any programming changes.

@scottmled Yes sir. 325 tonight.

Hear me out: we make every day 25 hours long.

All of these layoffs are brutal 😢

If only there was some sort of invention that scared crows away 🤔

Update: crows have discovered the rollie pollies

Even google.com on mobile is horrible now.

I know I had a good design day when I exit my a fugue state at 5pm and suddenly have 20 new artboards.

@jdan AIM was on one. Special characters? Stunning.

@karrisaarinen Yeah, many of the big popular phone apps are going through the same consolidation to status quo that tech sites had around 2016.

I remember the time when website and desktop app design was really boring and iOS was great. Now iOS is boring and web & desktop is having some useful and nicely designed apps. Feels every app is a copy of TikTok, WhatsApp and Tinder which are mainly designed to waste your time

Is it just me or has mobile app design gone downhill? Finding really hard to find apps that are delightful, fast, nice details and visuals etc
