A simple interface can make or break things. Yes, that's what a person wants. A simple interface. Not the one that's clubbed of multiple blocks together. Btw this one's also an interface, just lacks taste. In short, a simple UI that's understandable and built with taste wins the game irrespective of the kind of vibrance added to the UI. AI does make it easier to craft UI elements but most look almost the same. What a human with design sense brings to the table is, "taste". Taste is highly superficial and only noticeable if observed minutely. Which a very few people do. → A real designer's craft can be assessed just by observing the decisions taken to identify the icons that need naming and the ones that don't. That's powerful, isn't it? → Another way can be by presenting just the right number of elements on one screen. These are very small things, not everyone observes. Yet it makes a huge impact when you compare a human made design vs an AI made design. I'm not saying companies with bad UI don't win, Amazon did. But you're not Amazon (as of today 2026). Envision tomorrow. You are starting today. So, act today. Shared my thoughts on design taste after reading one of the pieces from @designerdada.

It's web based, yet it feels native. How about a geo based welcome? A little detail to connect. Can it be an @AppleTV experience?

@itsmaaz_ This is impressive. Rather than creating just a hierarchy , the "Options" droptab feels a part of the search box itself. Good one.

are we underusing the bottom of the screen in AI apps?

Subtle web animations require you to be good with a few things: → Opacity → Transition → JS Events Learn basics of GSAP, Framer Motion, etc (any one). I'm considering you are good with: → basic CSS → JS → And not implementing animations using raw CSS

I've known @simple_smile9 now for quite some time. She teaches programming 1-to-1. The thing I observed was the way she teaches. Everyone's got a unique style of explaining things. So, is she. Undoubtedly, figuring out a subject to learn is better. In spite of that it's even better to learn from someone who's already good at the subject. For the least, one gets guidance. And that changes the who game. Reach her out, if you're someone who's getting into JavaScript, Python and Roblox for clear guidance and tutoring.

This player overlay is just 🤌🏻 It shows a preview, timeline, little info. Just what's needed at one go. @AppleTV

Learn SVGs if becoming an amazing design engineer is you target. Read it again. A very good source to learn the basics is MDN. Rest depends on your curiosity and creativity.

Understand why even to adopt AI and the way one should go around it.

@iamteeshaa We first need to be confident around the guard rails and structure of output, which will ultimately be our work. Only then we can come close to rely on AI's results. The car analogy is impressive.

3 mins exercise. Stop the scroll and let's do it. → Search for a place to live in your preferred location. Tell me if you find a room/home good enough for you. I mean, did you really find the one you feel like living in? I'm open to listen everything. Good things, criticisms ... everything.

An @apple TV experience in another universe. And it keeps getting better. I'll drop an other one tmrw. How did it turn out?

@j4ykadam @Peerlist Been a user of what you contributed building. Flawless craft. You've been of the guys popping in my feed from Peerlist. Good luck for things ahead.

today was my last day at @peerlist. i joined 3.5 years ago as an oversmart kid who thought he knew everything about design. proud to report that i'm leaving slightly less confident but actually knowing a little. peerlist was my first real job. i had no idea what it was like to get ready and head into an actual workplace every day, never sat through product debates, never learned how to defend design decisions, never shipped products at this scale, and honestly had no idea what i was doing half the time. what i'll always be grateful for - the trust and autonomy i was given - getting to work on things people actually used and cared about - the weirdly effective “figure it out as we go” culture - and most importantly, the team a lot of what i know today, i attribute to this place and especially @designerdada and @hey_yogini. they've taught me more than they realize. i genuinely don’t know if I’ll ever find another place quite like this again. peerlist will always be a big part of who i am.

I am searching for a frontend job. I can join immediately. Ready to locate any location of India.

How did this one turn out? A post card design.

@1Aakib Already giving goosebumps

The dashboard design I am cooking rn is next level!

Subscriptions are making your wallet empty? We've enough ranted over multiple subscriptions. Some are of the opinion that there should be bundles for subscription. Great! But they really an answer? They are just multiple subs clubbed together. I was wondering about of plausible solutions. Got around one, 1) This states: there should be some service or product so deeply woven into your life that it no longer feels like one. If something as such exists then a better quality shall attract a handsome cost. This cost should cover all your subscriptions. Since we're talking about something that's woven into ones' life, the subscriptions would be a complimentary offering. 2) Another one i.e. usage based billing (UBB). It's wonderful in the sense that you're just paying for what you use. With time people would get used to this model. However, along with that we are humans and we'll tend to optimize for cost, resulting in fluctuating revenues for companies. Optimization in UBB will eventually happen. The best example to prove this are the tech companies. Today most companies rely almost 100% on cloud infra. All of their services and products run on rented infra. And there exists lots of ways to reduce the usage of these infra. Less usage = less cost. A similar thing would eventually happen if products/services move from subscription to UBB. This would not make a financial sense for companies already operating on subscriptions. Moving to this mode brings mammoth challenges for them. I shared two solutions and I believe the first one could be a potential answer to subscriptions.

@OpenAI better watch this.
