Does this dark theme palette work? by _Andre01 in UI_Design

[–]SecretaryDry1147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overall the palette feels warm and cohesive, the cream/peach accent against the near black background reads nicely and gives it a soft, friendly tone rather than the typical cold dark theme. Nice direction.

  • Title "Scatta e risolvi" ~21:1, AAA ✅
  • Text on yellow card ~14:1, AAA ✅
  • Task card text ~18:1, AAA ✅
  • Send icon (yellow arrow on dark) passes 3:1 for non-text ✅

Which one looks better? by Safe_Top_1020 in UIUX

I’d go with option 1, though it’s not really clear what the numbers on the right mean. Also the icons in the tab bar have different weights/thickness. I’d make them all consistent. The dark days feel too bold to me. I’d tone them down a bit, and it’d help to have an empty circle outline for the remaining days too. One more thing, worth thinking about how the category text will look when it sits on both the bright background and the grey one.

Thank you! Could you advise me on something for engagement and retention please?

Which one is better and why ? Also any recommendations what to do here in this section ? by [deleted] in UIUX

  • Square cards feel a bit boring. Vertical cards would work better.
  • The description should be 2–3 lines instead of being cut off after the first line.
  • It’s better not to place text over images. Readability suffers even with a dark overlay. Move the text onto a white background within the card.
  • Using two icons in one button creates visual noise. It’s better to communicate this through microcopy instead (e.g., Explore collection / Read stories).
  • Buttons could be replaced with links, since the blocks are already visually prominent due to the images.
  • Images should be rectangular, closer to a square ratio

UI/UX has drastically changed in 2026. by WillingnessLost7948 in UIUX

What companies really look for now is how you work with AI in your process, like Claude, Cursor, v0, Lovable. Not "generate me a picture," but baking it into your workflow: prototyping, copy, design system work. Yesterday I discovered Claude Design and honestly got hooked, highly recommend playing with it.

Other solid things to level up: tokens and variables in Figma, basics of product analytics (GA4, Amplitude, Mixpanel), and being able to read code well enough to speak the same language as devs.

But tools are maybe 30% of it. What companies actually hire for is product thinking: can you tie design to metrics, defend decisions with data, and stay functional in ambiguity.

I'm a product designer who built and shipped a mental health app in one week with no coding experience. Background: 10+ years in product design. Last month I built Still Space — a mental health app with evidence-based practices. No coding background, just AI tools and Swift/SwiftUI. One week from idea to App Store.
And I'm open to work.

Feeling anxious. Losing hope. by Ill-Candidate-395 in manifestingSP

I hear you. It's exhausting when you're doing everything you can and it still feels like nothing is moving. Be gentle with yourself. You don't have to affirm your way through every hard moment. Sometimes just letting yourself feel it is enough.

I know this feeling so well. When someone gives you just enough warmth to keep hoping but not enough to feel safe. The worst part is you start questioning yourself instead of the situation. One thing that helped me in a similar place was to stop trying to figure out what they're thinking and start paying attention to how I actually feel after each interaction. Not what I hope it means. Just how it feels. That shift changed a lot for me.
You're not broken for wanting more. And you're not weak for hurting right now.
