So following on from the goals of this year, putting this out there (finally!). It's not ideal and some ideas got limited by @framer but after an identity crisis and 3 restarts... it's better to just ship it eh? Lesss goo #framerawards2022! 🚀✨https://t.co/LSZu86Lrau

@aleksliving Idk if everyone's come across @dupedotcom but its gold for stuff like this for folks like us in Canada! Tried it for this one and got some results!

I asked the long-time Chief Design Officer at Airbnb ( @alexoid )...

"What do you look for in a junior IC that would indicate they have a high ceiling?"

I agree w/ his answer 100%

(but also I'm glad he said it not me 😅🌶️ )

Shoutout to @nlevin's flawless presentation on AI and the future of design. One of the best story tellings pieces I've personally come across 🤩

[Sid Bhattacharjee @ThatSidd]

Love a how-we-done-it and this one gives such a great insight into what was considered and why they didn't take a certain direction 🤩

[Joel Miller @_joelmllr]

Today is a big day! Dev Mode launches in @figma. It's the culmination of an ~18-month journey, filled with countless riffs, prototypes, reviews, PRDs, and PM mocks. Here's my story of how we got here. 🧵

[Ridd 🤿 @ridd_design]

Have you ever seen a company consistently call out the engineers/designers responsible for new features in product update emails?

@browsercompany is creating a future corporate comms case study

Design hack:
Set up an hour long meeting once a week, or at least once a sprint with your dev team just to go through and fix all of the tiny UI details that could be better.

All of the things that would never get prioritized in a Sprint planning.
All of the things that maybe a user would never notice.
All of the things that might have been missed in original implementation or just don't align since they were first built.

Change colors, update icons, improve hover states, fix overflow issues, add better tooltips, make shadows better, cleaner alignments, fix typography bugs, move a pixel here, change a hex there.

No tickets.
No backlog.
No user stories.
No business justification.
Nothing that takes more than an hour (or close to it).

Just craft.

You'll love your product more. Your team will get a chance to jam with no expectations or KPIs. I thought it would be nit-picky at first, would give the impression of busywork, but my team is as motivated by it as I am. It helps clean up old code, unify implementation, and get exposure to features that they may not have worked on.

Cleaner code. Cleaner UI. Cleaner product.

Tiny improvements, huge gain.

Ed Catmull said prototyping is like "exploring the neighborhood", where you stroll potential paths forward, peeking around the corner for obstacles and consequences.

In this world, @figma is about to give everyone an electric bike. Excited to share more!
