If you are new to Lisbon, there's a place for you here. We're a local community of people who create software and we understand what is like to pack our bags and move all the way to a new place where we don't know the language or have any friends. it doesn't have to be this way.
Lisbon getting ready to kick off the yearly Sardine Festival 🇵🇹
always good vibes and great food across Lisbon.
absolutely one of my favourite parts of the year.
This week I started hearing from people who landed a job through the job board for designers we built at @LisboaUX. I'm overjoyed to know the work we're doing is helping real people! Thank you for trusting us with your time and mental space.
What if someone could find you great job matches and prepare your application while you sleep?
What if experienced design leaders could help filter, handpick and curate a couple of candidates from a pool of applications, giving you context about why they are great?
I had a lot of fun redesigning @AdamastorHQ for the past weeks. This is a celebration of the founders, makers, designers, engineers, operators that make Portugal grow.
There was no single place to find design events in Portugal. So we made one. You can also subscribe via email and you'll get them on your inbox every Monday.

To get good animations from an AI you need to get good at telling it what you want:
- "stagger this list of items"
- "make this animation direction-aware"
- "spacial consistency", "crossfade", "layout animation",
I made a motion vocabulary for this:

We're considering @sanity_io to help nonprofits at @LisboaJS_. Our community is working with https://t.co/3hxDpOWTCb to help migrants and refugees integrate.
I would love to collaborate, like we do with @supabase, @posthog, @xata, @storyblok and @cloudflare occasionally.
This is the kind of work and impact we're creating. If you have a few hours a month to be a sounding board and guide these technical decisions, please send me a message.

"Questions are wonderful for a deeper dive, but not a daily drive." — I really agree with this sentiment.
Chat UIs should be out of the way when the mindset users have is intentional. When their mindset is explorative, chats are an outstanding choice.
I think you're going to see it's all going to converge back to screens and data and panels and buttons.
People don't want to ask the same question over and over. They'll ask something, it'll be set up to show something, and that thing will be saved as something they can always look at. Stable pre-defined glances, not blank slates each time. Common questions will become buttons and panels again.
Most people ask the same kinds of questions about what they work on most of the time. Having to start from scratch with the questions every time seems like a step backwards.
Another way to put this: Questions are wonderful for a deeper dive, but not a daily drive.
Not sure you're suggesting questions always, but the comparison screenshots looked that way.
I built myself a chrome extension called Pose
Any clothing model of any store becomes me.
Each brand still conveys their brand aesthetic, but I can quickly understand how something would look on me.
Join us for co-working and lunch in Lisboa this Friday. It's a way to get to know other developers and designers, and to have deep conversations throughout the day.
The wise know that most hurt is not intentional but a by-product of the constant collision of blind competing egos in a world of scarce resources.
