Very nice… But it doesn’t carry through to the detail pages. I would also expect to see photos of both dark and light in a gallery on the detail pages. Also not sure how I like the sticky header with the ghost style menu button. Otherwise, overall very elegant work.

Not supported in Firefox. 😟 I really don’t understand the web API if all browsers aren’t going to be supported. Why would any dev trust using this?

Well, not being able to read the article because its member only, I can only comment that I would not trust the output of algorithmic state colors If that is part of what is being suggested.

It’s not just that, you also have uneven spacing throughout. Maybe the gap between the p and R is somewhat intentional, because they felt the capital R didn‘t set that apart enough? But it is just wrong. I assume the next admin will rename it after themselves if it continues to operate at all.

I’ve been holding off on updating because I just can’t believe they went ahead and released such garbage.

So much agree. I’ve built a nice interactive dropdown component in our library using variables. However, I had to write lengthy instructions on how to set up local variables and rewire them so that the selection will work in designer’s local file.

We do not refer to designer or dev beyond what you need to get started. The content for components is divided into usage and code tabs. There will be times where a designer is interested in looking at code and devs need to understand usage. Labeling things for the role just did not make sense.

I do not want to talk to my pc! There are too many places where people in public are already annoying by talking loudly on their phones or playing media without headphones. Please no.

I really liked Publii for its simplicity. I did not like having only the app to edit and there being no iPadOS option. I really do not like Hugo, 11ty, and a bunch of others for the complexity. Wordpress also has gotten way too complicated and they ruined the editor.

I went out of my way to include a wireframe mode for one of our theme modes along with light + dark modes. It uses handwritten fonts, thickens borders & removes color except for the primary interaction. We encourage designers to start & stay with the wireframe mode until they are ready for dev.

Wordpress has become a mess. I really dislike the block editor. I purposely went out of my way to find something simpler for my brother-in-law’s website.

They are not going to get 2 people doing the work of 20 by using AI. And what they do get will be of a much lower quality. They just don’t care about their users or their employees any more.

They did this intentionally or was one of the ads taking over? Otherwise, yeah, no surprise in the drop in traffic.

This is so true… “because a lot of what we consider to be design decisions – interaction, animation, loading of data – can really only be prototyped in code.” Fully agree—It really needs to be a collaboration between designer and developer to create a great experience.

Deceptive pattern—It is meant to deceive. I also like the switcheroo, but usually reserve that for when there is an animation or UI change that happens right as you go to press/click something.
