@DanHollick Planned to take your advice n get lunch during your talk, but the queue looked looong. So I sat through it. On balance, it was time better spent than in a queue. Thank you

[Scott Herrington @scotth_designer]

Probably wouldn't use it, as it means exporting designs from Figma to Figjam. But might recreate the components to document stuff a li'l better.

[Scott Herrington @scotth_designer]

While looking for something completely different, I stumbled across this nice Figjam "toolbox" from https://t.co/eCWrfuZVO9, to help designers introduce designs in crit. All killer, no filler. Lovely.

To all parents of toddlers. If you know... you know 🤣 I normally stick to software design but every time i put a wriggling Frankie in her @MyJoolz Aer pram, I swear a little, and just wish this was a thing...

AI-native UX

What do apps look like when you design AI first?

Starting a thread to collect some examples I've found.

[Scott Herrington @scotth_designer]

The ability to learn front-end code WHILE actually producing stuff at the same time is honestly bloody magical.

[Scott Herrington @scotth_designer]

Popped my @cursor_ai cherry today!

A few weeks back, I made a "Step Count" widget in React. Today with Cursor, I generated better mock data n added props for different data arrays, titles n colors. Now I've both a Steps and Calories widget 😍

The code for getting that cool inactive/active state on the server icons, complete with animated indicator bar.

Getting the hang of tailwind now and impressed how easy this was to achieve using just out-the-box values.

Discord Clone Update:

Yay! I've built my first multi-page SPA using React-Router. While setting up routes wasn't exactly a breeze, it clicked once I got the mental model of route nesting and layouts.

[Scott Herrington @scotth_designer]

It never occurred to me the body has a recycling function, that modern, round the clock food access/diets inhibit.

Before I honestly couldn’t have told you the last time I went 12 hrs without calories, outside of illness.

📖 Outlive, by @PeterAttiaMD

💡Rapamycin, the Easter Island wonder molecule. The processes our cells undergo, when they’re told nutrients are scarce (e.g via mTOR suppression with Rapamycin or fasting) is crazy interesting.

[Scott Herrington @scotth_designer]

As a result I’m trying out intermittent fasting (16:8 5 days a week) and enjoying the feeling. Tracked with a couple apps @fastic and @zerolongevity for a design critique later.

[Scott Herrington @scotth_designer]

Context is everything. Particularly with health data.

Making it this easy to see not only what’s going on right now, but how that fits with your own personal trend over time is design n engineering time very well spent.

[Scott Herrington @scotth_designer]

Love the thoughtful design in @Gentler_App!

1. Horizontal view of condensed widgets for today's vitals at a glance.

2. Beautifully transitions into vertically aligned full-width widgets, providing context for today’s metrics over a longer period with spark-lines. 😍

[Scott Herrington @scotth_designer]

@disco_lu 😂 Fiiiine. The contrast is pretty shocking. In my defence the labels alone provide all info needed. Complete task support isn’t reliant on the bar graphic at all, which I did make sure of.

But yeah, if it’s there - make it accessible 👍

[Scott Herrington @scotth_designer]

Almost half way through my GOWOD 10hrs in 30 days mobility challenge. I know I'm behind, but have no idea by how much. The in-app challenge widget's design doesn't help me at all.

Here’s my fix: two subtle tweaks, one major boost in task support.

[Scott Herrington @scotth_designer]

Niiiice feature from @ridewithgps! Drag and drop multiple routes onto the map. Can't wait to try it! Curious how it handles routes from very different geographic locations dropped in at once. Sure it’s given their designers n engineers some fun headaches.

[Scott Herrington @scotth_designer]

Playing with @fastic’s app. Ignoring the scaling errors on the chart (green section appears to start after 10 days not 7) and hyperbole in the claim, is there a name for this design tactic? Pre-empting an initial poor experience with a new behaviour, but encouraging perseverance.

[Scott Herrington @scotth_designer]

Learning to build UIs in React via the tried and tested "monkey-see-monkey-do" method (Sam Selikoff's Discord clone course). Using @tailwindcss feels so similar to designing in Figma. With all the advantages of code. See progress via dodgy looking link: https://t.co/i98Q6BiQz7
