UX Strategy sounds mystical until you understand this simple fact... No stakeholder wants to hear about yet another strategy. And I'm yet to hear a top manager ask for a UX Strategy.

Pinging the master @rsms :)

At Framer, our body copy uses Inter with specific OpenType features enabled.

After Effects doesn’t support those features but we still need our motion graphics to stay on-brand.

Here’s how I got around it 🧵

@TEDchris Just like lo-fi became a genre years after it was the result of a technological shortcoming, Gen-AI is becoming the equivalent. Just a matter of time before we see an intentionally AI glitched ad from a corporation.

@kepano You managed to create a tool that transcended a major tech revolution.

@mrblackstudio @figma You are the poster child of @framer

@gndclouds Ask mode is underrated

@wongmjane @GergelyOrosz Jane, if you wrote this manually, kudos to your skills.

@semihdotcom Did you get one? How’s the experience?

[Bilgi Karan @machineError]

@novikoff Maybe those three aspects are THE moat.

@vanschneider @ankkala Time to dust off that slicer tool. 🗡️

@bartonsmith When BASIC was first introduced, the promise was that everyone would write their own program. Of course it is an argument to promote subscription models and token use. When in doubt check the 80/20 rule.

@asallen The blinking cursor!

A great design system provides a solid floor for creativity. Not a ceiling.

@karrisaarinen So true! I would love to see an article about this from you at some point.

[Bilgi Karan @machineError]

This. This speaks volumes to me. I can’t count the number of times I see a team working with a non-problem until that very thing becomes the problem.

[Karri Saarinen @karrisaarinen]

Sometimes it's the easiest way to test the problem is to imagine it's not a problem or we don't need to solve it. Imaging what is the worst that going to happen, what would the customers/users do then, and if I know enough to predict that.

And then see if how bad it could be for them. Lot of problems in companies are really just imagined or have some agenda, not an actual customer need. If the need is more of a political need for something to exist, it's almost doesn't matter what actual problem you solve then. They just want a problem solved that turns out as a success.

@jurrehoutkamp @framer Very cool. When you guys can rebuild Framer completely inside of Framer, the circle will be complete.

@aydaoz @litcapital It’s called bootstrapping since the only thing you have that is not owned by VC will be the straps on your boots.

@kepano @obsdmd CMD+T should directly open Recents window. And please make the tab inset cursor position correct.

@stevenbjohnson Thanks but the link does not work as intended. It pushes me to authenticate rather than the already installed @NotebookLM app. This use case of sharing a crafted Notebook is something you should invest in. Very valuable.
