At design and tech events in Berlin, before talking to a random participant, you can choose a language to speak just by briefly looking at their laptop keyboard.

I think an open edit history should become an essential part of any item stated as human-created, not human-guided

Just in case you ever wondered what the latest UI trends for 2025 look like, I’ve created a Q2 snapshot. Happy to add more if you’ve noticed any others.

In other words, the way teams communicate and collaborate influences the architecture of the systems they create. Minimal interaction leads to distinct, loosely integrated components, while close collaboration results in a unified and robust system. So the main job of a designer is to communicate.
This should be a fundamental law for any company whose goal is to maintain and deliver a consistent UX:
"Any organisation that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organisation’s communication structure." — Melvin Conway, 1967
Is there something specific you don’t like about it, like shallow thinking, or is it just the situation itself?
.work, do you plan to switch once post.cv is fully shut down?
looks awesome!
The Workday Design System has a pretty interesting error pattern, it highlights the entire group rather than individual radio buttons or checkboxes. I’ve never seen this before. canvas.workday.com/components/i...

Looks neat! Did you start with v0 and then hander it over to Claude?
It's just paracetamol with a pinch of flavouring. I think the hot water does the magic 🍊
A belated resolution for 2025: Make controls, tappable areas, and clickable regions bigger. #accessible2025
good afternoon from Berlin!
A new term in my designer’s vocabulary: Sizzle reel.
At least now I know what to call those videos.
I’m glad I bumped into this. What are the advantages of the web-based package compared to standalone apps? I just installed LM Studio and Joe + Deepseek and am figuring out how people use them practically. Or are they more for exploration?
Interesting, but according to the answers, Notion has very low adoption.
Things I wish someone would teach me how to read:
1. Cohort analysis charts
2. Data in a binary code editor
A cursor pointer hovering over the close button in a modal dialog box.
The quality of a design can be easily evaluated by the size of the clickable area for the close button in a modal window. The larger and more accessible the clickable area around the icon, the better the design handoff and engineering quality.
Finished reading The Product Design Career Workbook by Artiom Dashinsky.
I'd say it’s more of a desk reference than a one-time workbook. Its insights can be immediately applied to day-to-day work by anyone in a collaborative and creative environment, not only product designers.
