Product Design @Microsoft.
Design and shower thoughts. A head full of memes. Opinions loosely held.

@jmspool As a product designer on Teams, I'm equal parts entertained and awkward about this thread 😂😂😂

I have something to share!🌻

After a loooong break, I'm back into the mentoring space! I've always found a lot of fulfilment in educating, exchanging knowledge and learning stuff in the process💡

Over the years I've had many people guide me to where I am, so…https://t.co/XhKbDEHh41 https://t.co/HwD3PKnMsg

Millennials de-escalate by adding "lol" at the end of everything. AIM tendencies.

Everyone comparing the Dynamic Island with Android holepunch cutouts, without realising 90% of the people buying the iPhone 14 Pro models will be coming from a previously ugly notch. It's relatively more aesthetic + it's functional.

It's fascinating that @Twitter has replaced the classic share icon with a @WhatsApp icon (at least for me, maybe a/b testing). Tapping still opens the full share sheet, but it's crazy that WhatsApp has become synonymous with sharing content with others.

The Dynamic Island on the #iPhone14Pro series is one of the nicest interface design elements I've seen in a while. Great stuff @Apple!

@MKBHD You can stop the phone sliding away from the wireless charging pad inside the #rivian truck by sticking a magnetic magsafe ring (Amazon) on it 🧲

[AJ (Adithya Jayan) @kn8rise]

What are some hardware changes that will affect software and in turn, interfaces?

Eg: When phone batteries get ultra efficient to the point charges last weeks/months/beyond, we won't need a battery icon in the status bar.

Still waiting for the day we'll have vector displays and vector videos. No more SD/HD/4K nonsense.

The best way to get the right answer on the internet isn't asking the question but posting the wrong answer 😂

I want the confidence of these guys who'll speed match their cart with the cars when the traffic signal goes green.

@forallmankind_ is one of the best things I've ever seen on a screen 🚀🌕🌌

The day you feel old is not on your birthday, but the day you increase your browser zoom 👀🔍

[AJ (Adithya Jayan) @kn8rise]

Maybe the answer is to have a separate search engine to index design talent? It can be something that can plug into other sites like @read_cv. It's a vague thought experiment 😋.

Chime in your thoughts!

[AJ (Adithya Jayan) @kn8rise]

💡Finding talent would be easier if a search engine could index projects/case studies within designer portfolio sites - like how you can search for Marvel tees and Google will list down top sites which sell them. Thinking out loud 🧵

[AJ (Adithya Jayan) @kn8rise]

Maybe because some sites are hard coded, some use no code tools and some are simply not updated in years - probably making them less favoured? Not sure.
