Opening up InDesign and having to reorient my brain to its clunky, outdated UX. Small example, but in the year 2025 InDesign and Illustrator still don't have the ability to hot swap colors from a 'selected colors' panel. Even the global styling panels feel archaic and unnecessarily complicated

somehow got suspended on the other app for posting this but here's what the macrodata refinement terminal would look like if it used material 3 components

Drum pad thing in Figma

Will post the full thing in the morning but I'm working on getting better at skeuomorphism in Figma by making fake Teenage Engineering products

The one thing I would add are post options. I don't think *every* post should be shared between the different platforms, there should still be niches
Here’s my account on Flashes, a photo sharing app. All my followers can automatically find me as soon as they log in!

This is what we mean when we say Bluesky is open: your identity and followers belong to you. It took 30s to sign up for this new, independent app, and everything is there.

Should I still make a Mastodon or Threads? What's the vibe?

Learning Spline, but also trying to get better at faking 3D in Figma. Initially didn't understand the point of say, recreating physical objects, in Figma but it has actually been teaching me newer ways of approaching interface design

I'll share more on this later (re: 4o) but if templates and simple drag and drop design interfaces haven't killed the need for designers, then AI won't.

Okay posting the full designs now 🙂‍↕️
