@figma restoration eta? #figmadown

AWS threw their hat into the design system ring a bit ago. I must say, it’s a solid option. Check it: cloudscape.design #uxdesign #uidesign #uikit

@vinchubang @ebaqdesign @webflow +1. I remember beta testing the vertical timeline and asking the moderator watching me use it, asking something like, "What is this?"

@ebaqdesign @webflow Thank you for asking. This image is a practical joke. It’s mixing Webflow UI with After Effects’ — most famous compositing app — timeline. Webflow hasn’t started to work on IX3. It’s a fun way to tell them that we want a full featured horizontal timeline for IX3 :)

The @webflow pre-alpha IX3 UI looks awesoooome!

Found this gem that let's you show off how fancy you are without trying too hard—custom animated signatures. signature.supply

@JonYablonski I love that you highlighted this topic Jon. Adding some additional context for new UXers: “participant diversity” can mean gender, race, ability, location, age, orientation, socioeconomics, and more.

Here’s a reminder that we all too often forget: When we focus too much on success stories, positive metrics, or ‘happy paths’ in our designs, we lose sight of how the design responds when things fail. biasedbydesign.com/principles/con…

The "best" marketing spin I've come across all day... "We are not raising the price of any of our plans; we are moving you to a newer plan with more benefits at a different cost."

Dark pattern I'm sick of: notifications pushing marking messages or posts from people I never followed. #UXDesign #uidesign

@JonYablonski @vitalyf The site is pretty cool, and that's a positive signal. 🧠

This practical guide for designers and managers on how to set up and track design success in your company by @vitalyf is phenomenal! Design decisions shouldn’t be guesswork. measure-ux.com

@ryanels As a designer, I have no choice but to approve this. It's the law.

Center-aligned code. You got to love it 🤩👌🏻

This microsite makes long-form reading effortless with automatic scrolling and audio narration. If that’s not reason enough to check it out, there's also a compelling social cause behind it. Check it: letterstoevan.com #uxdesign #uidesign

@Shefali__J It’s a pull request.

When you marry a programmer it's...??

@_joelmllr I'm so glad I saw this post—this should definitely be on by default.

Designers using UI3; how many of you have used the property labels feature? Do you find it helpful? If not, what could be better?

+1. This isn't a short read, but it's essential. One of the most profound lines "Exercise agency in what tools you adopt. Shift your thinking from “minimum viable” to “minimum responsible” launches of the products you build." #AI #productdesign

The most unique typeface you've see all week: abcdinamo.com/typefaces/came… #typography #font

@RGA My usual preface "I know you can read, but I'm going to read it to you for effect."

Presenting copy is so embarrassing, basically "would you mind if I read you a little story??"

Your new favorite Figma Plugin. figma.com/community/plug… #figma

@Stretchedwiener Follow up question; say, for example, you’re editing an asset YOU don’t own. I’m not entirely clear how Adobe can/will use that content. Moreover, how they’ll know the difference. 🧐

THIS is pure offensive insanity. Adobe is claiming royalty-free rights to copy and make new content out of customers' assets. Adobe is claiming that they can then sub-license customer assets to OTHER companies. They describe a "reasonable" use-case, but describe no limitations.

Here it is. If you are a professional, if you are under NDA with your clients, if you are a creative, a lawyer, a doctor or anyone who works with proprietary files - it is time to cancel Adobe, delete all the apps and programs. Adobe can not be trusted.
