@TeamYouTube Yeah I can see that. But it's really confusing if it's on by default - seeing songs on the web player, but not in the app! Also, the setting description "This helps hide potentially mature videos" isn't clearly related to explicit lyrics.

[Ben @BenPrudden]

Bizarre @youtubemusic behaviour in the iOS app - if you're missing some tracks from albums, try turning off 'Restricted Mode' under 'Settings' > 'Playback and restrictions'. The tracks appear again - I guess just a very inaccurate filter?

@adamplouff @figma Ah, that sucks. I could have sworn I saw it at one point… I’ll do it the old fashioned way. Thanks for all your amazing AE work btw, your plugins are invaluable.

[Ben @BenPrudden]

@adamplouff the AEUX plugin seems to have disappeared from the @figma community. Any idea what's happened?

@tfalexandrino @sketch Aaaa...bsolutely loving this! Any chance you could share the file or do a quick tutorial?

@trevorbasset Love the vibes of this piece! Do you mind if I use it as my iPhone wallpaper?

[Ben @BenPrudden]

Looking at @a16z's Marketplace 100 got me wondering: what do marketplaces need to get right in order to beat non-marketplace alternatives?

Two main things:
1. Unlock an amazing new experience for customers
2. Unlock new revenue for supply

Just happily signed up to and paid for @PageFlows. Huge shout out to @ramykhuffash for creating something that saves me so much time!

[Ben @BenPrudden]

Anyone got a spare @DispoHQ invite going? My entire timeline is obsessed right now and is giving me serious FOMO.

[Ben @BenPrudden]

@francois_bach @DispoHQ Would love one if you have one still going 🙏

[Ben @BenPrudden]

@hyumankind Currently reading too! I’m about 1/3 of the way through and it’s resonating so strongly with me. Let me know if you ever fancy having a chat about it.

[Ben @BenPrudden]

I think this is a really strong summation of the messy context within which product design currently exists. I’ve been thinking about a lot of the same issues recently, and it’s given me a good starting point to engage.

[Ben @BenPrudden]

@yuuuanw These are lovely! I was thinking of purchasing the one with the boat but before I do, can you tell me what the characters translate to before I do?

[glerpie @glerpie]

Who designed this and what was the process like? Was there critique? Disagreement? How many layers of approval were there? The designer probably started off with a few directions...

[Sadie Lew @sadielewski]

The more experienced I become as a graphic designer, the more I rely on dynamic branding systems. Traditionally, branding is created with logos, fonts, colors, spacing, imagery, language, rules, and it’s wrapped up into a neat little package of a style guide. 1/
