Building @fanaticsmarkets | Previously designed at @MoonPay and @StarlingBank

[Nick @_iOSNick]

My goal for 2026: Contribute to the design community I’ve quietly relied on for years.

Back in 2023, a small Swift experiment (a reflective metal button) unexpectedly took off on Instagram, gaining 1.8M views and 23k followers. Sharing work was exciting, but over time it turned into pressure to always have something “post-worthy,” and the joy slowly faded.

X has always been different for me. It’s where I come to learn, save ideas, and get genuinely inspired by designers’ work, mostly from the sidelines.

I want to change that.

I’d like to use this space for pressure-free posting: sharing work in progress, half-formed ideas, explorations, experiments, and honest conversations along the way.

Can’t wait to build in public again ✌️

@jamesm I don’t think there are many things out there that beat a radial masked grid 💫

@andreaskruszaki @figma These are gorgeous!

@jamesm @onlook_cam Site is stunning!

@benjitaylor Nice! But the touch target on the button inside is a touch too small. Feels pretty easy to mis-tap

@msllrs A very timely read, thanks! I was a couple weeks out from fully documenting & baking our HSL tokens into code, I may delay whilst I dive into this a bit more. Likely will save me a grand migration again in 6 months time!

Been following @kubadesign’s MJ explorations for a while now, but this style finally tipped me over the edge. I had to try it myself!

My first crack, and the results are gorgeous. Appreciate you sharing your work.

@avalondesign_ This was all built in SwiftUI, running it on the simulator 🙂

@avalondesign_ Thanks a lot - was a lot of fun to build 🚀

Baked my slider explorations into a long-press in the footer.

Tap for ±1, or hold to quickly scrub.

The valley mirrors your thumb, with some ✨extra details✨ where the pointer subtly shifts as you hit the edges.

@Jakubantalik @yakuzeg 🔥 Need to see this on the fun widget Jakob

[Nick @_iOSNick]

@SimonRAmor @morsemoney This is super exciting Simon, congrats! I guess the Sling sticker on my laptop has made it a collector’s item now?!

[Nick @_iOSNick]

@byfloperillat I love it! Could you make it bespoke to each user and show the icons of their apps installed? Have an array of sizes, bigger icons in this animation for apps that have the most screen time?

@FonsMans He never misses 😮‍💨
