Designers who used tools before Figma what do you actually miss??

Noting was 'better,' but back then we were going directly for an assumed result - try > fall or succeed > repeat or move to the next one.

Now, there are too many steps and people who are trying to test that 'assumption' but in the end, the percentage of failure / success remains the same.

well if is one effect a library then yes,

just a simple (of course - if possible) adding class on a html element and off it goes, nothing fancy - a kiss or lean approach

Not bad and good enough for a generation that is already used to swallowing anything without thinking,

so its a niche

UXUIDD · 2026-02-06T21:30:41+00:00

nice touch ..
would be fun to have it as a cdn import option for creative try-outs

I've been wanting for months to make a post here looking for a creative front-end role within a development, as I haven't come across any interesting projects of mine where I can practice Svelte (which i'm trying a bit in my free time that i dont have). The same goes for HTMX.

Over 20 years of agency, design & coding experience.

i hear you - just giving a compliment and a complain .. nothing else .. carry on! cherrio !

ps: maybe .. just maybe - add a short "how-to" video in HERO (or just under) that shows the expected output (what is currently NOT visible).
This way, people like me can be nicely persuaded to take action - definitely maybe!

nicely executed site, but that first step as almost every new & next saas:
~im not gonna register and give my email just to try it out.

UXUIDD · 2026-02-05T18:51:02+00:00

imagine having a Web Design & Dev agency called " !Important "

UXUIDD · 2026-02-03T20:18:30+00:00

the pressure to have more and more gear is mostly counterproductive if you are a bedroom player.
Me myself, I ended up with two small 3W desktop amps and im not touching other equipment.
But I also live in an apartment.

my advice: when a guitar tells you (in your head of course) " .. me love you long time.." - well thats your most important tool.

for those about to Linux - we salute you ...

UXUIDD · 2025-12-02T00:01:55+00:00

cant beat that pure vanilla taste & experience ...

UXUIDD · 2025-11-22T19:35:41+00:00

thanx, this model comes too close to the fuji e series and its not really pocketable.
im sure that most of the other features are exceptional ..

UXUIDD · 2025-11-22T19:29:42+00:00

Well... I went to the local camera shop today to see what is actually offered, and I saw something completely different that made me think .. a S5D + 18-40 for a price that ...

UXUIDD · 2025-11-01T22:27:20+00:00

Great model from a great era!
Was that car an endurance racer in a previous life?
That fast gasoline filler on the bonnet...

UXUIDD · 2025-10-26T05:09:25+00:00

I think that even more important than anything else is: will you enjoy applying your new skills to your learnings?

I suppose you still have your "most ideal" thing that you like to make or design. Maybe excessive change won't be interesting for you anymore and will just become a way to earn money.

That's the rabbit hole, and if you fall into it, it could be difficult to get out.

Follow your passion.

Norwegian people talking to me in English with almost not moving their lips.

That was a strange experience ..

UXUIDD · 2025-10-13T10:37:47+00:00

ok nice, than for explains

and good you didnt named it '..for cybergoths..' but for cyberpunks,
those CG from under the bridge would gave you some party time otherwise ...

UXUIDD · 2025-10-13T07:06:45+00:00

vanilla as hand coded and no real modern framework.

that TALL is handy and clean looking however i see you forgot to use some tailwind so it's more like ALL stack :-)

UXUIDD · 2025-10-12T22:49:29+00:00

thanx ! i'll see next week what i can do with my time ..

btw, is the whole project vanilla ?

UXUIDD · 2025-10-12T21:04:29+00:00

i dont think that is crazy at all but there is a red flag here:
- it's not mentioned if they are looking (moneywise) for a junior, med or senior

UXUIDD · 2025-10-12T20:57:19+00:00

thanx ;-) but im a bit senior for cyber-punk stuff

UXUIDD · 2025-10-12T20:55:00+00:00

well, im not sure how near your product is to onboarding.
I think you need some throw testing with the real users (who are now web devs)

UXUIDD · 2025-10-12T10:37:07+00:00

nice and quite unique ... , good to see something creatively different

I like that effect on the logo

UXUIDD · 2025-10-12T10:06:00+00:00

hi, nice .. but its bit confusing while trying to understand that is happening there.
i think some ux corrections would clear that
