delightful UI courtesy of @github.com
GitHub top bar with a large gap in between the Copilot button and its dropdown arrow with a large error message in the center, bleeding out into the main content area.

god I miss Vancouver </3
Downtown Vancouver on a cloudy day, taken from a balcony many stories up. Vancouver Lookout stands tall on the left and Canada Place is toward the center. Green space is visible on the tops of buildings. Buildings are placed along streets where some run in the city’s grid layout and others at a 45 degree angle.

• I’m looking for work! •

After nearly three years of work since the founding of @spacedrive.com, I’m looking for somewhere new to contribute.

If you know a team looking for a great designer and/or developer, please get in touch. All leads & reposts are appreciated!
Large purple chat bubble: “I’m looking for work!” After nearly three years of involvement in Spacedrive since its founding, I’m looking for a new team to work with to build great products and experiences. Over the last five years I’ve been part of some wonderful teams, both at startups and large enterprises. I’m excited to see what the future holds for myself and the teams I’ll be working with next. 
Does your team need a UI designer & developer
 with startup experience? Email lynx@ilynxcat.me or send a Bluesky Chat for a copy of my resumé.

apps that look like this >>>
A rounded popup with a deep bluish-black background and cozy padding. A large pastel green circle with a check mark, “Feedback submitted,” in white, and a bluish-grey paragraph below. A pastel blue “Join on Discord” link with a Discord logo, and a Dismiss button with a bluish-grey outline and a gradient background.

Two really high-res buttons in the Mac OS X "Aqua" style from 2001, a primary blue button saying "Follow on GitHub" and a secondary grey button saying "Send an email"

Privacy callout in the bottom left of a window. In somewhat faint text: "Analytics data is always anonymized and is used to tell us which parts of the app are used." A link below it, with a pastel blue open book icon: "Privacy details." A page indicator with four translucent green circle bubbles for completed pages, a wide prominent glowing bubble with a green-to-blue gradient for the current page, and a translucent blue bubble for the following page. A borderless "Maybe later" button and a primary blue "Enable" button in the bottom-right.

a notice component, header contains has a rounded eight-pointed star shape with an exclamation point inside and text "This is a beta release." body says "While we are still working to build a polished experience, please report any issues encountered with [inline paper plane icon, white highlight: Give Feedback] in the bottom left of the app."
