Design tip: When in doubt, leave it out.
Design is as much about what you remove as what you add. Focus is your friend.

Design tip of the day: Question things!
Don’t assume. Don’t default. Don’t just accept “that’s how it’s done.”
Curiosity is a designer’s superpower. 👇🧵

Too easy? People get bored.
Too hard? People give up.
Just the right challenge? That’s when the elusive flow state kicks in.
You can’t push people into flow—but you can create the right environment for it.

When electric cars first came out, their designs were intentionally distinct. The early Prius? The GM EV1? They weren’t just cars, they were statements. The design cues shouted: “This is the future.”
It was part branding, part necessity, and part early-adopter signaling.

One of the few articles around product development that I continue to come back to: Intercom's several years old blog post on why great PMs don't spend their time on solutions. But rather on really understanding the problem.
Great PMs don't spend their time on solutions
A deep understanding of the problem that each project sets out to solve has underscored Intercom's progress to date. This is how we approach it.

AI is rapidly getting commoditized. AI-driven writing or image tools will continue to be more seamlessly integrated into operating systems. (Or as in the case of the MS Copilot key, even in the hardware.)
The benefits of offering these features in your product will keep decreasing.

There's been quite some talk recently about the demise of Twitter/X, and the rapid rise of Bluesky.
Here at Buffer, we support posting to all major text-focused platforms, i.e. Twitter/X, Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon.
So we have some good insight into the trends here. 🧵👇
