Progress bar animation I did for a golf course's onboarding flow.

@galluzzo_julian I'm afraid at least 80% of all social media is slop :(

[Nick Groeneveld @ToolboxOfDesign]

@galluzzo_julian Sounds smart and thought through. Good luck and well done!

[Nick Groeneveld @ToolboxOfDesign]

@Shpigford Create very useful content people want to read and make it easy for them to read.

That’s it.

@karrisaarinen 10x or 100x is a buzz word by people who are not the trenches every day

@Shpigford You have a blocky font so the mark needs to follow that

@danmall There’s a whole subreddit for those posts too. If you make it there, it feels like getting a medal

[Nick Groeneveld @ToolboxOfDesign]

@danmall Well done!

[Nick Groeneveld @ToolboxOfDesign]

@galluzzo_julian @shipstudio_app You should. It’ll be good for SEO and leads

[Nick Groeneveld @ToolboxOfDesign]

@danmall It was kind towards you with a subtle stab towards social media algoritms as a whole!

[Nick Groeneveld @ToolboxOfDesign]

@galluzzo_julian I’ve only ever worked with nice people from Canada. So not the worst place to be!

@mrtylerwhite and I share what work outside of Figma looks like for us in the latest episode of Design Table Podcast.

Take a look here - https://t.co/fpuKuvBjPC

[Nick Groeneveld @ToolboxOfDesign]

Designers want ‘UX’ to have a seat at the table. Yet, all we do is fight about what tool is best.

Canvas vs. code, Webflow vs. Framer. Figma vs. whatever. If we as a profession want to be taken more seriously, we have to zoom out and discuss the bigger picture.

Real UX talk about how it works and where it needs to change in today’s AI wave, for example. But also;

- How to think through edge cases in our work (if you want to keep with tools, but better);
- figure out to what degree designers should touch code (if at all);
- and what else we can do to stand out when each tool does more or less the same thing.

If you want to stand out as a designer, talk about what you have to offer outside of the tools you use. No more ‘Figma is [clickbait-y thing]’.

@Shpigford Style it like it is hand written and/or paper documents
