Love seeing moves like this — the sorts of decisions that many eng/product teams put in the "too hard" basket, but these are 100% the most fundamental decisions that have large impacts on delivery quality & speed.

Minutes & seconds here & there, add up fast. #productmanagement

I moved our engineering org from @Jira to @linear and it's honestly one of the best tool changes I've ever made.

Here's a few reasons why I love Linear so much, and no, they aren't paying me to write this or giving me any kind of discount, this is just pure customer fanaticism.

@barany6m Keen to try but the price seems high for what it is - especially when I can’t tell what my outputs would look like (I’ve seen a few people mention outputs being unexpected, but I appreciate it relayed to inputs). I’d be trying to bridge the gap of high cost w/ an unknown output

[Nathan Allsopp 🚀 @nallsopp_]

At the risk of sounding out of touch.. does anyone even use Dribbble anymore? 🤔

I dusted off the old personal Figma and uploaded a shot, only to find I could add an essay to my upload. How.... odd. 😱

What a great comment. Agree that fear of being wrong shouldn’t hold people back - I suffer from this and will take this onboard from now!

In my 25 years writing on the internet, I’ve been wrong about all sorts of things. This one wouldn’t even make the top 5. The fear of being seen as wrong is one of the key factors holding people back from trying new things, new thoughts, and, crucially, changing their mind.

@indexsy How do you actually make Amazon/affiliate money? Without giving away your secrets :-) do you have niche blogs with affiliate links mixed into content etc?

[Nathan Allsopp 🚀 @nallsopp_]

Hooly dooly these updates are going to make for a lot of happy designers out there today. Name a better day of the year for creatives! #ux #ui #figma #productdesign #productmanager

[Figma @figma]

☝️ If only there were conditionals

You can also create multiple actions which are super helpful since you can now create interactions with conditional logic to create more customizable flows.

[Nathan Allsopp 🚀 @nallsopp_]

I often see talk about user experience in a very one dimensional, output-focused manner — "we need Figma, a design system, prototypes, etc".

Yet, we are not the only custodians - we need to empower every other team that touches the CX. #ux #prodmgmt #design #ui #growth

[Nathan Allsopp 🚀 @nallsopp_]

This looks absolutely phenomenal - what a shortcut to generating documentation in Figma! #ux #ui #productdesign #prodmgmt #figma

[Nathan A Curtis @nathanacurtis]

Getting close to @figma component spec plugin MVP feature complete, and ready for deeper testing and getting feedback from the community.

[Nathan Allsopp 🚀 @nallsopp_]

Well said!

[luis. @disco_lu]

If you're looking for advice on when to use ❖ variants, when to use component properties, how to use slash naming in your components, then definitely read this article by @AlPackah

Gave the old portfolio-eroo a lick of paint for the new year 💅 let me know your thoughts below!

Even the big companies can make time for experience upgrades! Is it just me or are UI interactions feeling more instantaneous than ever these days?

I got a new iPhone 14 Pro the other day & this Netflix (+ iOS)experience is *so* slick! #ux #ui #prodmgmt

[Janum Trivedi @jmtrivedi]

This last year, I’ve been leading a UI refresh to make Netflix feel more fluid, delightful, and polished.

Today, all that work shipped!

Huge thanks to @nebson and @b3ll for helping bring this to life ❤️

Details below, but try it out yourself!

[Nathan Allsopp 🚀 @nallsopp_]

The new year for me means trying to speed up some of my Figma workflows. For all the #ux/#Product designers out there, if you're not across these, they're a must!

[Nathan Allsopp 🚀 @nallsopp_]

The power of distribution is crazy! The large tech companies can expand into, and dominate, almost any horizontal market with ease. Something to keep PMs and strategy teams up at night!

Great to see a rehash of the old iPod campaigns on TV (for AirPods). Was such a good series of ads and still is so fun! #apple #airpods #marketing

[Nathan Allsopp 🚀 @nallsopp_]

@disco_lu Good on you mate – hope all is well!

[Nathan Allsopp 🚀 @nallsopp_]

Would love to hear from all the Figma wizards out there on how they approach organising Variants.

I've tried a few different approaches and yet to land on something. Help me out! #ux #ui #figma #design #prodmgmt

[Nathan Allsopp 🚀 @nallsopp_]

Been exploring collective card games in the world of blockchain/NFTs - Splinterlands looks like a great example of where things are going!

If you’re into card trading, give it a whirl - https://t.co/3AbvtA6ykI #nft #gaming #crypto #splinterlands

Those Figma feels when you're throwing 0.001px layers into your auto layout components to make them do things Figma doesn't want them to do

#ui #ux #figma #uiux #productdesign #prodmgmt #uidesign

[Nathan Allsopp 🚀 @nallsopp_]

Would love to hear how people are closing the gap between Figma and production design systems/component libraries?

I've seen a few different approaches, but would love to hear what people are actually using. Pop a comment 👇 #ui #ux #design #designsystem #uiux

[Nathan Allsopp 🚀 @nallsopp_]

Those feels when you create 100+ variants of a component in Figma, and realise you need to change your approach.... #ui #uiux #uxdesign #figma #saas #prodmgmt
