@KayserEdits Thanks!

I always appreciated having sticky notes around my desk or in Figjam, Figma etc.

But I never saw them in this form inside a notepad.

Would you use it if it were available in a notepad?

[mack_kow @mack_designer]

@anardooo That’s how i see it too, or smth that needs special attention

[mack_kow @mack_designer]

@lifeoflagan 😍😍

@itschatto @createuico Love how it fills the entire card with color as it progresses 🔥🔥🔥

[mack_kow @mack_designer]

@_adamboyle SMS will certainly have highest chance to reach your users and allow to act fast if necessary

A home for background agents.

Every task lives in the bar. Hover to peek at its steps, live. A simple popover morphing when you browse between them

@istdrc I can see a great use case here - turning this sort of DS into gray scale would help with user testing / validation a lot, I am gonna give it a spin 🔥

[mack_kow @mack_designer]

@arlanmarat The biggest difference for me was giving the agent the principles, do you feel the same?

[mack_kow @mack_designer]

@raphaelsalaja Awesome! I like how it streamlines note-taking / mood boarding, I often have mess when I am creating my boards, but with this solution I guess it'd be easier to manage them in a clear way.

[mack_kow @mack_designer]

@BrettFromDJ it's been a while already, but it has also been faster to get a template running on Wordpress, publish it on web and send to a client, was it better?

Sometimes yes and many times iterating in code will be better, but because of that design becomes exponentially wider discipline

[mack_kow @mack_designer]

@kvnkld When you show components grouped together it's easier to visually grasp if they will make sense in an actual interface, showing single components is overrated.

[mack_kow @mack_designer]

@MichaelFilipiuk In my experience - it varies from market to market, from company to company and from person to person, but if it works then it works!

[mack_kow @mack_designer]

@flohoeller Cool, seems that we’re all in the same boat after all. Detail work consumes most of the time 🙌

[mack_kow @mack_designer]

@_heyrico The muted accent is a nice call. In dark mode a saturated brand colour tends to vibrate against near-black.

[mack_kow @mack_designer]

@Wuraoladesigns Right call to comment on each state of the agent, this can contribute to increasing trust to interact with agent

[mack_kow @mack_designer]

@Jamie_Merrill Loving the pulse in the background, non-obtrusive but delightful to look at

[mack_kow @mack_designer]

@imuratalpay @Ibelick I sometimes skip Figma and design straight in code to as long as I have good understanding and product fundamentals, but I often struggle with getting timely feedback. How do you handle getting clients to provide relevant feedback when you go so fast?
