@LinkMyRide Hey guys, love the app!

I started a club in Amsterdam, but can’t join any of the group rides that are created with the club account.

Whenever I tap Attend the button immediately reverts back to its original state.

Any idea on what’s wrong?

Cyclists, hikers and basically all outdoor fans: @komoot is hiring a senior product designer. Sounds like a cool gig. https://t.co/RvArR8VbFP

Inspired by yesterday's Apple keynote, I decided to change my iPhone lock screen for the first time in 3+ years and now I feel like I have a new phone ✨

Also: I'm curious whether the new privacy safeguards in iOS (and the anticipated decline in ad revenue?) have contributed to Twitter doing this. https://t.co/Ec6Gw7a8FY

I love this. Let's hope this is the first step towards a future where users of tech platforms pay with their money, not their personal data. https://t.co/sbqcsrbpXB

Can't believe so many orgs have such dreadful, dehumanising hiring processes.

Thanks to @odannyboy for writing this brutally honest piece on his recent job hunting experience. https://t.co/aATDXMKKhj

@jaffathecake Love this, Jake! 🏎

Also: I recently learned that Cyril Abiteboul started his career with Renault in 2001 by managing their website (!) https://t.co/nwlTpXUSM7

@jeroen Goed genoeg 🤣

The best test for any design you made on Friday is whether you still like it on Monday.

[Nick van der Linde @nickvanderlinde]

@Piels I'm super-biased, but @edenspiekermann do a lot of great work at the intersection of branding and digital product design.

If you’re curious what hell is like, try editing a Powerpoint deck in Office365′s browser-based editor.

Whenever I read “capybara”, my mind says “KPI-bara”.

(Yes, I’m weird, thank you ✌️)

The recently discovered new species: the green Capybara, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris viridis.
Una nueva especie, rexcientemente descubierto: el carpincho con rayas verdes.

After a year of doing video calls every day, today I learned you can play Keynote decks *in a window* (instead of full-screen). So you can actually see others and/or take notes. 🤯

(Play -> Play Slideshow in Window)

Dynamic text size tops the list at a whopping 32% (!) If your app doesn't properly support that, a lot of your users will have a shitty experience. https://t.co/RxEANc9BUE

This is so great: @q42 have analysed how one million people use accessibility options in their mobile apps. https://t.co/RigB5XmDhF

I often see agile teams struggle to keep product strategy, discovery and roadmaps in sync as their orgs scale up. Really like this approach by @MiroHQ to encourage alignment across silos. https://t.co/gET7dPNo5z

[Nick van der Linde @nickvanderlinde]

Slide titles are one of the most effective (and undervalued) elements in any presentation. Whenever I prep a deck, I try to make my audience understand the narrative by simply reading the slide titles.

[Nick van der Linde @nickvanderlinde]

Turns out @clearleft runs a podcast full of wonderful content on design sprints, leadership, design systems, and more!

The downside to having glorious, home-baked bread for lunch is that I overeat and then spend the afternoon sleeping on my keyboard.
