I gave a client $1,200 of free work.

They didn't steal it.

I handed it to them.

No deposit. No qualifying call. No real commitment on their end.

Just me, moving fast, trusting vibes.

Three weeks of building. Then silence.

When they finally replied, six months later, they'd changed direction entirely.

The work meant nothing to anyone but me.

That was the last time I started a project without a deposit.

The last time I wrote a proposal without asking one question first.

The last time I quoted a price before I understood the scope.

I wrote the whole thing down so I'd never forget it.

I bookmarked these 7 sites last year.

Saw 1,000+ websites across all of them.

Here's what changed my design sense:
- @siteinspire (Site Inspire): constraint-based design (real products work harder)
- @typewolf (Typewolf): font choices matter more than people admit
- Site of Sites: international perspective (US design is narrow)
- @maxibestofone (Maxibestof): unpolished is underrated
- @footrdesign (https://t.co/oKXIDzeb00): details are the whole thing
- @fwa (TheFWA): historical context (2008 web design isn't stupid, it's data)
- @awwwards (Awwwards): portfolio culture is a real thing (and it's toxic sometimes)

Which one should I live on instead?

(genuinely asking, I rotate every month)

[Rehan @RehanDesigns]

where do you actually get inspired?

i live on these:
- https://t.co/9wGZWDl91H — no algorithm, just good work
- https://t.co/f719TlzbdJ — typography obsession fuel
- https://t.co/QA9KyIw8vt — the hidden gems live here
- https://t.co/Zf5i8tGDne — unhinged in the best way
- https://t.co/HnXaC2ewYz — yes, FOOTERS deserve their own site
- https://t.co/Q1EpsFsGtW — the classics
- https://t.co/cd5HynchYh — guilty pleasure, sue me

but i know i'm missing stuff. drop your go-to in the replies. genuinely collecting bookmarks.

@aydaoz Already blocked him few months ago ofc clown 🤡

[Rehan @RehanDesigns]

I won’t be posting for a while.

Not because I’m quitting.
Not because I disappeared.

But because I’m tired of creating just to stay visible.

For the rest of this month, and maybe the next, I’m stepping away from posting and putting all that energy back into the work itself.

I’ll still be here.
Watching.
Learning.
Studying.
Building in silence.

No rushed uploads.
No “algorithm maintenance.”
No posting for validation.
No showing unfinished thoughts just to prove I’m active.

Just deep work behind the scenes.

And when I come back, I don’t want to pick up where I left off.

I want the gap between the old me and the new me to be obvious.

Sharper taste.
Better execution.
Stronger ideas.
More intentional work.
More things worth feeling.

Hopefully my return won’t need an announcement.

The work will say it for me.

Until then,
keep making things,
keep sharing your process,
keep learning in public.

See you soon 🤝🫶

@mannupaaji @jaspreetdesign_ Yaa exactly 😭

With refs, literally anyone can copy every little detail even on day 1 of design.

[Rehan @RehanDesigns]

@Medium suspended my account for "spam/site misuse" but my content is 73.9% original, substantive design writing (34/46 posts kept after audit).

I've restructured my profile, removed all external links, and filed an appeal (ticket #1648807) requesting human review.

Would appreciate if this could be prioritized. Details in appeal.

[Rehan @RehanDesigns]

@pizzaboy @nikitabier I blocked him almost a year ago.

Same pattern back then too, stealing other people’s work, including educational content, and repackaging it like it’s original.

This isn’t inspiration. It’s just lazy execution dressed up as content.

[Rehan @RehanDesigns]

Juniors: “looks good lol” → ship
Seniors: “why the fuck did it do this?” → actually design
AI output is not your final work bro. Break it.

[Rehan @RehanDesigns]

@itszineddine @framer I don’t remember the exact details, but I saw someone who shared some stats on this a couple of weeks ago.

[Rehan @RehanDesigns]

Figuring out how to sneak this in somewhere
