I’ve been chipping away at Peels (www.peels.app) the last few months. It’s a community composting platform: a way to connect with neighbours to keep food scraps out of landfill.

2026 on the internet: everything is shadcn/ui or a derivative. Assisted tooling means anyone could make pretty much anything they imagine, yet somehow we ended up in a flatland

A difference between a good designer and a mediocre one is the amount of times they revise a piece of work.
I’ve seen some shocking first drafts from great designers. They usually see it as a necessity, something to get out of the way.

Daunting the inevitable generic redesign to ‘fix’ the lettering, scalability, holding shape, etc
