Introducing.. Intrasti.com, the best place to find and share interesting and quality websites! After many years of learning I've finally released my first product. It's basic so far but it has a strong foundation, and I'm eager to improve it. Follow to stay updated!

@akafaceUS It takes a lot of skill to move that fast

Sometimes I wonder why some stuff is so expensive and then I see Videos like this then I understand.

@shadcn cursor? I hardly know'er!

The whole point of shadcn/ui is I don't decide for you. New: when you create a new project, look for the switch to turn on cursor: pointer for buttons. Also available via the cli. npx shadcn init --pointer

@steveruizok this is insanely cool.. would love to see Affinity!

I was curious about how design apps differ in their edge / corner / rotate hit areas, so I wrote a script to move my mouse in a 50x50 grid and track what the cursor was.

Just released a new dropdown on the site-nav to make it easier to navigate without digging through the user menu. It's now even easier to submit websites on Intrasti and create topics about your interests!

@josesaezmerino I don't use vertical tabs but websites are designed to be squished left and right into mobile form which makes them easier to use that way but not so much squish from top and bottom, so that's one way.. another reason is a keybind setup to open/close the left vertical tab drawer

I don't understand vertical tabs. Why would I want less space for the website content I actually want to look at?

@aureliensalomon everything looks very clean! show/hide of the menu could be more intuitive, e.g. if above the fold then always show.. or always show it since it's not too distracting!

Serious question, what do you like and don't like on our website? orizon.co Would love to get feedback from the community.

The topics update has been released 🎉 There's some bugs I need to fix 😅.. but expect new topics every week! (and create your own!): intrasti.com

@TheChiefNerd that does seem likely, not with AI creating intelligence but instead distributing it

🚨 SAM ALTMAN: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

@DenisJeliazkov I jumped around design tools over the years and finally landed on paper (literal paper) tbd though

Figma has entered its Adobe era. Features nobody asked for. Performance getting worse. Plugin store is a mess. Sketch here I come...

@atmoio Focus on your strengths. I'm still coding manually but that might change, or it might not. Personally I'm passionate about UX and I'm using my lateral skills along with that and AI where I find it useful relative to UX, not trends.

I was a 10x engineer. Now I'm useless.

Productivity can be tough, one of the ways I've tried to increase it is to start a timer for an hour, two hours, three.. etc.. but then I asked myself.. Why do timers help with productivity? I believe the answer is that we feel the pressure and we find ways to say no to things to meet the deadline. So maybe all I need to do is start saying no to more things instead of introducing an artificial sense of urgency. If you really want to do something it can always be made a separate task.

@steveruizok how do you solve for mistakes? that looks like all pen!

earlier work was definitely more illustrative. I designed this mobile cycling prototype maybe 15 times when I was first learning to program

@dedene @Jicecream Alright, I am planning on toggling it a lot for sketching uis on paper so I'll have to get used to it or keep it on all the time but it sounds quality. thanks again!

@JeremyJaydan @Jicecream I found it quite responsive :) But they're touch based controls, so you'll need to look for finding the right place to tap. Also sometimes you have to tap twice after a night when the dial is in deep sleep power saving mode, but overall no complaints.

What's something you bought that actually made you happer?

@dedene @Jicecream Hey could you share any quirks with the responsiveness of the control? I'm looking at buying it atm and I'm curious about the ux with turning it on/off without looking. Also thinking of just leaving it on all the time and changing the brightness, is that a good flow? Thanks :)

@Jicecream Sounds silly, but my BenQ Screenbar Halo 2. It makes such a difference in always-gray Belgium.

Going back and fourth between HTML and CSS files can be annoying sometimes.. So I decided to come up with a solution and went through a lot of different ideas including using Quick Open, splitting editor panes, and some hacky navigational keybinds but quick open is too slow, I prefer to keep the editor full screen, and the navigational hacks were.. hacky.. Ultimately I just got AI to write me a vscode extension to mimic the behavior of "go back to previous tool" found in popular design software. When you hit cmd+1..9 it'll navigate you back if you're already on the relevant index.

@atmoio I believe we'll see more of that when the bubble pops, I strongly believe it's inflated and when it does people will start using it without the stress and more passion.

@JeremyJaydan i miss fighting over frameworks 😭

There's a massive narrative problem in AI

I've been trying to simplify a UX flow and ultimately I decided to make it more complicated but also more predictable.. which leads me to believe predictability over radical simplicity is typically the better move. Also found this article that's relevant: uxmatters.com/mt/archives/20…

@atmoio Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't LLMs mathematically designed to be on a spectrum between a statistical average and random? So it'll never be ready in the sense of overtaking the responsibilities of untrained risk taking?

AI is not ready.
