Design-first isn't universal advice. For dev tools or business software, ship fast and iterate.

But for consumer products where first impression decides whether the user opens the app twice, the calculation is different.

With AI coding tools as widespread as they are, a lot of apps now look the same. Real UI/UX done with intention is one of the few moats left for a small team.

I spent two months Vibe Designing an iOS app before writing a single line of code.

Everyone in 2026 is vibe coding. Open Cursor, ship by Sunday. I went the other way.

Here's what that actually looked like:

One thing I didn't expect: App Store screenshots are their own design project.

They took another two weeks at the end. A user scrolling the App Store gives a listing a few seconds.

The first three screenshots do almost all the work. They have to communicate the product, the value and the visual style at the same time, and there are Apple's own design rules to work inside.

@levelsio @shaedapk @WHOOP your weekly strength training time is a health factor for whoop age & pace of aging, so Whoop is tracking it there, just by time rather than physical strain

@ricburton ICOs -> DeFi Yields -> NFTs -> Memes

The precedent of all this madness has been growing for a decade and not once had the wider community done anything about it..

Unfortunately Ethereum’s number one use case remains as a breeding ground for scams and rug pulls..

U.S Senator, @SenLummis says, "#Bitcoin is sourced by 40% renewables, whereas globally, the average grid is only 12%. So even now, #Bitcoin is using more non-carbon sources of energy." ♻️

@PeterMcCormack History shall never forget your courage and the personal risk that you took to defend the real Bitcoin🙏🏼

[Constantin @C0sta111]

@twobitidiot Totally agree. How about taking a lead and delisting them from Measari?🙂

@yield_hacker @hasufl Make no mistake, this market is no longer about kids swapping magic internet money for magic crypto kitties💩 the incoming bull run will be spearheaded by institutional investors looking for financial sovereignty, they couldn’t care less about DeFi tokens👻

[Constantin @C0sta111]

@yield_hacker @hasufl Well I’m actually developing DeFi tools myself🙂 but there is a big difference between technological innovation and sustainable financial valuation.

As countries ban apps, builders flock to the uncensorable web.

Print more money, we have Bitcoin.
Ban more apps, we have Web 3.0.
