new integration alert ft @todoist 👋

which app is next on your wishlist? 👀

Just let me eat rice cakes.

Would we produce more interesting UIs if we all used MS Word to design? 😉

[Brent Nygaard @NygaardBrent]

AI, templates and comprehensive UI kits have taken over UI design. It all looks same same to a large degree (I am very guilty of this myself).

Which designers are pushing creative boundaries in UI/UX? Do software co's even want us to be pushing boundaries? 😅

[Brent Nygaard @NygaardBrent]

@designtoofan Ah yes, thanks so much for that feedback, always good to get some outside perspectives 🙏

[Brent Nygaard @NygaardBrent]

Quick! Let me tell you how bad your user interface is (and what you can do to make it better 😉)

Aaaand, just added some of my client work to the hero header area above the fold. Feeling like this is all much stronger than before 💪

[Brent Nygaard @NygaardBrent]

Made some adjustments to my homepage. Clear(er) title copy, added a testimonial in hero, and rearranged the sections of the page so that my services and past work are the first up, instead of text about me 😅

Next up: add some graphics to the hero.

Adobe CC price increase by $5pm gonna hit me from next month 😒😒 Time to downscale my sub to just Illustrator me thinks.

[Brent Nygaard @NygaardBrent]

@earth_2_isabel Thanks for the feedback! Yeah keeping it simple is sometimes the best 💪

Hey majestic freelancers. What software/tools/web apps are you all using these days for sending invoices and basic bookkeeping?

I've been using FiverrWorkspace (AND . CO) for ages and am mostly happy with it.

[Brent Nygaard @NygaardBrent]

Due to reasons, things have happened. And now we must react.

[Brent Nygaard @NygaardBrent]

Working from home was cool for a while. But it's been killing my productivity these days.

Getting out of the house,
working in different contexts,
surrounded by other hard-working people >

I want to downgrade my Adobe CC sub to just Illustrator.

But the one main thing keeping me on the full plan is Acrobat Pro. What do people use for reading, signing, and editing PDFs?? If I can find a good (and not expensive) alternative to Acrobat then goodbye CC full sub!
