Designing

@anything Let's go!

@elonmusk Even better chart cropping.

Hilarious. Miss the time where a phone wasn’t just a shiny black brick with pixels.

[Gerry McBride @GerryMcBride]

After the early bricks but before smartphones, there was a stretch where phone design went absolutely catshit bananas (1/?)

[Mikkel Bo @mibosc]

@thekitze A lot of absolute opinions in the comments. I think they miss something crucial: Figma is great in some cases, but if you’re designing something very interactive (like an editor), even 100 connected Figma frames won’t truly explain the experience and won’t be testable.

@crypitos @NikkiSiapno I just tried it. Maybe I gave it bad input, but I got random fonts with company name + what looks like icon library search “logos” mixed with random colors, bad kerning and element positioning. Better than word art but nowhere near templates from stock sites.

@realEstateTrent @loobah_l Your friend should move to Denmark. I have no wallet, no cards. Drivers license and national ID are both digital/apps. Reg some other comments: Losing physical cards is worse than losing phone imo.

@laurencorbett80 @The_Voll @tweetheart4711 @bingowings14 We all are 🤷‍♂️

Ok. This actually works really really well! Figma with Photoshop inside 🤯

[Neil Renicker @tinystride]

Ever needed Photoshop features in @figma?

Now you can have them with this plugin.

Install the Photopea plugin from
@photopeacom and prepare to be blown away.

@nsnielsen @mvinaes Kan ikke lade være med at tænke på hvor gode I bliver til at synge med 1.5 timers sangtræning hvert dag. Har hørt flere der bruger “hvid støj” (YouTube) med held.

Can’t stop thinking about this

@harjtaggar “If you think it’s expensive to hire A players wait till you see what a bunch of C players end up costing you.”

[Mikkel Bo @mibosc]

@VDMK28 @venandtonic @tranhelen @LondonMathews To be fair, maybe you and I don’t both know someone working for Philips. In any case, just replacing the bulbs and adding a few switches – rather than rewiring the whole house for some other automation control – was still a lot cheaper.

[Nathan Manousos @trafnar]

Figma acquisition shows how hard it is to turn money into software. You'd think for $20B you could build something as good as Figma yourself, but you can't. Software is art.

[Vincent Le Moign @webalys]

Dall-E can now draw outside of the original picture 🤯

[Mikkel Bo @mibosc]

The worst part about Zoom calls is reminding the finished presenter that they’re still screen-sharing as they drift info post-presentation procrastination

[Wolfgang Bremer @WolfgangBremer]

A designer seeing the implementation for the first time

[Mikkel Bo @mibosc]

@abe1x @bxlewi1 100%. They’re losing their own point of view, replacing it with the immediate imagination of their customers. Avoiding controversy by submission.

[Mikkel Bo @mibosc]

There's two kinds of people: Those who hang up after a call, and those who don't. Be the first.

[Mikkel Bo @mibosc]

@MichalHawelka @5t3ph 100% agree. Also the reason for the role “UI developer”. Few “frontenders” have deep knowledge in CSS, markup, browser rendering performance, etc. I believe “UI developer” is a good role to hire for.. also making other frontenders more efficient.

[Mikkel Bo @mibosc]

@SketchHelp Thanks for the quick response. Got Sketch v91 today which seems to have solved the issue

[Mikkel Bo @mibosc]

When did @sketch become so buggy? My component lib claims all components changed but crashes when I try to update them. So I'm basically unable to work until this is resolved 🙄
