@justbyte_ It depends on context but most of the time skeleton is better. It kills the "is it frozen?" anxiety by showing the layout before the data is fetched. Loading spinner sometimes feels like a wait and the skeleton feels like progress. its way better for perceived performance

Small interaction! Testing a hover state for this performance card to keep it clean and avoid adding more buttons.
Would you show the controls all the time or only on hover?

Hot take: 90% of motion design in shipped products is decoration, not design.

If you can remove the animation and the user understands the interface exactly the same way... it's not doing work.

The motion that does work tends to come back to these 12 motion principles.
What's your favorite motion principle & why?

@scott_bair Absolutely! 🙌 Love this

@alex_eiman @danielrossluft 🙈🙈🙈 I don't wanna talk about it

@moraba3pizza @karimkos Not at all. UI is part of the UX. You don't use traffic lights by reading the names of the colors. That might work but what are the outcomes?

[Fateh Zid @FatehZid]

@karimkos Because we didn't finish ours 🫠

@karimkos @HouariZegai - Notion
- Notion extension to bookmark links 🔖
- Tally for surveys (Notion style)
- Tella or screenstudio for recording and editing

[Fateh Zid @FatehZid]

@karimkos Persona :) a user-centric approach is key! Keep in mind that mobile is for on-the-go convenience, desktop for complex tasks. Start with MVP, test, and evolve!

@karimkos The same reason you're using a floppy disk icon to save progress. It takes time to use something that has to be universally recognized. Would Instagram be as instantly recognizable if they changed their logo from the Polaroid camera, even though Polaroids are obsolete? And so on.

[Fateh Zid @FatehZid]

@Keviduk It depends. I built a lot of design systems and it depends on the branding, the tone...

[Fateh Zid @FatehZid]

@karimkos @rize_io Nice! I've been wanting to try it. Is it intuitive?
