Independent Product Designer — Building Hyrep (@HyrepCo)

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

So we recently finished our kitchen remodel and we’re super happy with how it turned out 😁

People are posting the most basic designs and acting like they painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

Has anyone seen any cool design explorations for Mac OS 26 orrr is every app going to look identical?

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

@0xKoschei Yea they catered all their new features to these wannabe design studios and made it essentially useless for the independent designer.

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

I can’t believe no one ever made a good alternative to Dribbble.

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

@deanfyi @layers_to Yea I just mentioned to someone else that their search is kinda lame and it always breaks on me. It has potential though.

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

@nedcarlson_ Primarily inspo (graphic/illustration, ui, branding). Instagram is nice but it’s so algorithm based that you never know what you’ll find or simply see the same stuff over and over.

I like Mobbin for real UI and flows.

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

@DavidFelipeV1 @contra I looove mobbin. It’s my go-to for real examples but it’s only UI. Contra is nice too but more of a hiring/skills network.

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

@NathanSimula I was hopeful and they are trying but search is really lacking. The app just breaks when scrolling search results too.

@bertiecorrie Maybe for existing followers? My feed is such a cluster/mess now :(

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

@carlfairclough yea maybe partly. I’m thinking graphic design too though. I think they really killed a lot of usage because of their dumb monetization choices.

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

@charlesriccardi I was thinking about that too. Most have moved to social media to share design work - mostly instagram. Discovery/search sucks though.

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

@chrisw I was literally thinking the same thing this morning 😂

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

@AetherAurelia As someone who was previously building a macro tracking app, I’m actually surprised how accurate some of them are.

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

My latest off-screen project: a monitor stand.

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

@markjharvey Thank you. I’ll check these reviews out!

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

Aside from the Apple Studio Display, what monitors are you all using for design?

I’m looking for some recommendations that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

@JohnCafazza Thank you! 👌

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

@hah At that price point, totally!

[Matt Martin @mrtnmatt]

@nativldn My wife has this monitor. It’s super nice but not trying to spend $1200 😆

Anyone who agrees with this tweet, I can almost guarantee I know what your website looks like.
