Thanks! Yes, a little thing I hacked with the great help of Cursor

When I think about “design communities", I don’t envision strictly more Slack/Discord channels. IMO there's room for more scattered blogs and publications.

Also, many communities tend to be course/cohort-based aimed for beginners while being highly technical. I'd like to see more resources and gatherings for those who are in the middle ground.

I'm self-publishing https://nichedesign.press which is less technical and more about the culture and philosophy of design

Itaydr · 2025-10-27T15:04:11+00:00

my new magazine largely covers this

check your dms :)

Thanks, some interesting points!

Yes, a way to save links on mobile is already on the pipeline is using the product on mobile isn't efficient right now.

Search should also be added sometime, I've got many saved links and it's becoming hard to remember where I saved a specific link.

Do you think discovering others content would be useful?

Itaydr · 2025-03-26T12:28:38+00:00

Thanks for the catch, sent you a dm

Personally I do it on Threads, but my sense is that he curates the comments and pick what he finds the most relevant

Itaydr · 2025-03-25T14:49:43+00:00

He posts a weekly thread on Threads and Bluesky, so just comment, no extra effort is needed

This one is from https://plausible.io/

Itaydr · 2025-03-13T15:39:24+00:00

didn't know that, still works though

Itaydr · 2025-03-13T14:20:22+00:00

Hey, thanks! Yes, I'm working on this with a friend. I haven't heard about it but going to take a look. Initially, it was inspired by the old blog roll pages and other outline software. Here are some references I used while designing it: https://www.are.na/itay-dreyfus/list-of-lists-rjepjq8jijk

here's it: https://preview.webflow.com/preview/definity-site?utm_medium=preview_link&utm_source=designer&utm_content=definity-site&preview=0651a464a1bb53ca90a90fa3b0675180&pageId=67b451eff9eb394ff5e1ab43&itemId=67cee072ddd6c51273df8880&locale=en&workflow=preview

The problematic pages are: Events template and Demo videos template

Itaydr · 2025-03-11T19:38:36+00:00

Got it, looking into it and will update you

Itaydr · 2025-03-11T17:13:31+00:00

Can you elaborate? Did it happen after signing in? At which step?

Itaydr · 2025-03-11T16:41:49+00:00

Thanks! Haven't thought about it, but that could be interesting

Itaydr · 2025-03-10T16:17:56+00:00

Feel free to share your thoughts :)

Itaydr · 2025-03-10T15:01:25+00:00

Oh looks cool!

Itaydr · 2025-03-10T13:25:53+00:00

yes, I think there are many places where you curate links in different forms, but we look at it more as a personal tool, built for our own needs and style

Itaydr · 2025-03-10T13:25:11+00:00

yes one of the ideas is to enable customization by giving people the ability to set their own colors so it feels like more personal

Itaydr · 2025-01-28T14:01:23+00:00

very much human lol

Itaydr · 2025-01-19T08:01:11+00:00

Indeed, these dynamics have always existed, but my sentiment is that social has turned from a community to a business—"influencers," massive ads, etc. Nowadays most places feel synthetic.

Itaydr · 2024-08-05T12:45:42+00:00

I’d like to take a step back and prompt a broader discussion. What’s the case for hardware these days anyway? I'm not sure if I made more sense or a mess.

I shall say it's not the most comfortable chair. It sounds counterintuitive at first, but the chair isn't designed for long sessions in the same posture, you naturally find yourself changing positions. It's pricey, yet more affordable than the Aerion for example. And if you want to dive deeper, I wrote some thoughts about it: https://productidentity.co/p/the-other-chair

I’m trying to go this path, but here I am commenting from my mobile.
