@poellll What a thread

@Abad_Juancho This kind of resourcefulness and creative problem solving is one of my favourite parts of game development

@RGA Still pasting work into the shared Figma file at 4:57

I can't be the only person making a comparison between the Red Bull 2025 F1 reveal and the Windows 95 launch?

@thomAufresne How things change in just over 12 months… Now down to two: 375 and 1440 as standard with module specific notes for 768ish and 1800+ if need be.

[Matt Power @thisispower]

@thomAufresne 💯 360, 768, 1280 and 1800

@matiNotFound @matiasperz_ @basementstudio This is so seriously stunning

@darylginn Too many options for Cookies or no option to reject

@hunterthompson There's a follow up question to those that took equity... did it pay off?

[Matt Power @thisispower]

@axeleerbeek1 100% ... I enjoyed working in-house, but going in-house to agency in my 30's was not a career path I'd recommend to others

@mikepechadotcom @vicky_rockin @webflow That would be awesome, have been looking for this very thing to show different icons based on times around the world.

@adriankuleszo Transferring ownership of the file to the agency was a crazy process too IIRC.

[Matt Power @thisispower]

@adriankuleszo Bought an annual subscription when I went freelance. A month after starting my first major project and inviting a group of paying users as collaborators … I thought the bill I was received was a mistake.

@chalaska @bybenhammond Definitely designed interfaces in all of these.

@internetdaniela @bybenhammond @Michael_Urwin Same, longtime XD user. I picked two live projects and forced myself to use Figma. Going back to old files to make updates is the challenge now...

[Matt Power @thisispower]

@RockyRoark Have enough savings that you can weather 3-6 months of reduced work. More if possible.

[Matt Power @thisispower]

@NikWilliamson Paired with the contentious question, do people *actually* read case studies?

[Matt Power @thisispower]

@NikWilliamson The eternal dilemma. How much is enough that it does exactly as you've said, before it's overwhelming or the viewer simply switches off…

[Matt Power @thisispower]

…Figma just has *so* many tiny, thoughtful and significant quality of life improvements that speed up workflow and reduce/remove repetitive tasks. I hate to even talk about tools (they're just that) but the difference in experience literally is staggering over several days.

[Matt Power @thisispower]

A week of using InDesign as my main tool, then jumping back into Figma… the difference in user experience is truly staggering.

[Matt Power @thisispower]

It always felt "featured" but has never felt bloated. It's not had features crowbarred into it like several of the other Adobe apps. But…
