I'm a UX/Product Designer in Charlotte, NC with deeply-rooted affections for Chicago sports and pizza, and the Kansas Jayhawks.

2019 when we got started with Linear, most SaaS websites at the time seemed to be these "Corporate Memphis" sites with vague benefit statements and weird colorful illustrations. No screenshots of the product and dark sites were very rare in B2B SaaS.

Heh. So Cards Against Humanity is offering a Black Friday "200% off sale," and I was curious what the silly gimmick would be, so I played along. Many increasingly elaborate, ridiculous CAPTCHA tests later, I'm looking at this:

@notdetails Sadly, this might be an even darker scam than it seems. https://t.co/swUerALG4O

@mikeindustries I feel like the Hornets *should* count here. I *could* even argue that having the Bobcats was worse than having no team the entire time. But I *wouldn’t* argue terribly hard in their favor… unless maybe beloved Starter jackets are good enough.

@joshuamauldin Yes, if it can’t carry on.

This year, I was fortunate to join the leadership team to shape our new design system—a milestone for any talented design org in hypergrowth.

My love letter, in a thread: 7 ideas about design systems that have impressed me the most 🫠

1. Design systems are everybody’s business.

@jacobian @webology When the Cavs initially drafted Wiggins, my reaction was “does this cap his ceiling at Scottie Pippin?” as if it might have done him a disservice.

Another fantastic and necessary article from @JoshWComeau, breaking down the mental model and rationale of best practices with real world examples. Seen lots of arguments around how units should be done, but rarely seen anyone actually break it down in order to teach it. 👏

I'm receiving word you can order free covid tests from the USPS again — and this time you get eight.

This is worth doing if not just to experience the fastest, cleanest web form in the history of governmental internet. https://t.co/qnMHOz3Ii5

@jaukia @a7sc11u @components_ai @saneef @NateBaldwinArt @Leonardo_Color just got a big update this week that I’m eager to try out!

[Ryan Berg @ryanberg]

@jaukia @a7sc11u @components_ai @saneef For a recent project at work where specific existing colors needed to be included, https://t.co/HW3ye2dop0 by @NateBaldwinArt was fantastic. It didn’t set curves, but it did allow me to specify specific contrast ratios to target.

@sodevious Have you checked out @opalstack? From the former WebFaction crew. There are a few helpful Django-related links on their Djangofriendly page. https://t.co/PCh7yVaw0f
