I'm happy to share a little side project of mine
(+ my first Webflow build )

✨ FolioInspo ✨

A one-stop shop for top-notch portfolio inspiration.

Tired of scrolling through the endless websites, case studies and blogs looking for inspo? ...So was we.

My Twitter bookmarks app hit 5,000 users.

Nice to see after spending an ungodly amount of time obsessing over every detail.

What if your sleep app tracked your room, not just your body? 😴

Day 4 of #WhatIfUI. Light, noise, temperature. A concept focused on the environment you sleep in. First time using Figma Motion to bring it to life too.

How many times have you put the wrong bin out? 🗑️

Day 3 of #WhatIfUI. A little home screen widget that tells you exactly which bin is due and what's coming up next. Tiny idea, genuinely useful.

What if booking a parking space was as easy as picking a seat on a plane?

Day 2 of #WhatIfUI. Choose your spot on a live map, pick your hours, pay and show up. No circling, no stress, no other drivers to argue with. 🚗🅿️

What if your home just told you where your power was actually going?

Day 1 of my "what if" UI series.
A widget that flags whichever appliance is draining the most energy in real time, with plain English advice instead of charts. ⚡🟣

GRADIENTOOL is now in Private Beta. I'm hand-picking a small group of designers to test it before it goes live, dm me if you want to give it a shot.

[Brett @BrettFromDJ]

GatherOS now has over 3,000 users. Wtf.

[Simon Fairhurst @siimonfairhurst]

@DanHollick In the process of planning my DIY build at the moment, can't wait to get working in there!

Looks awesome man

Built one of the biggest background libraries on X, completely free.

1000+ designers are already using it for inspiration, landing pages, product visuals, branding work, and client projects.

The goal is simple: help designers ship better visuals faster.

I love A for the focus on the artwork — feels almost cinematic.

But B gives more breathing room for info + buying options.

My brain keeps flip-flopping.

Curious how you’d approach this balance between aesthetic focus vs usability.

[Simon Fairhurst @siimonfairhurst]

Been staring at these two layouts for way too long 😅

This is for my personal art site — can’t decide which hits better 👇
🅰️ Center focus
🅱️ Side panel

Design Twitter… help me choose!
(Bonus points if you tell me why👀)

Already sick of seeing everyone copy Apple’s liquid glass.

👏 Props to Apple, nobody sets UI trends like them.

But you’re not Apple. Slapping this on your UI isn’t design, it’s decoration. Most of the time it’s just noise.

Where’s the line between design and trend-chasing?

[Simon Fairhurst @siimonfairhurst]

@guerriero_se @nucleoicons the details in this, soooo good!
