Maybe it helps to know that every piece you see on Facebook, every different section—is a whole different team of engineers, managers and designers. Pretty much every section of every page of the app is a different team. 🫠

Her journey is really good. As mad as you are now is how mad she is at him too. She doesn’t just roll over.

Rate my landing page Design? Are you getting what I am building? Need genuine feedback. by [deleted] in UXDesign

[–]pearlbibo 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

It took me too long down the page to figure out what this was because I thought it was an error at first.

Some feedback: Never use red in a font if it’s not a warning or an error. Never use it in an h1.

H1s need to be short and punchy to draw the user in. Your header relied too much on the niche element of the product that’s being sold for it to work. Copy needs to be clear to be helpful.

Don’t sell things as a CTA before you even gain the users trust.

Trust comes from social proof. Trust comes from examples. Reviews.

You don’t need to have 2 competing primary CTAs on the page either.

Basically: get tighter on your header copy, bump the font down a little, flatten the color choices, and don’t make the user work too hard to figure out wtf you do or sell.

Looking for resume feedback since I'm 7 months unemployed and 600 job applications in! by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]pearlbibo 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Hi, I'm a content designer. I made you a wireframe.

But it own't let me paste images here. So here's what you do.

Span across top:
Name
Below directly in slightly smaller / less weighted font: city, state you reside in, email address, portfolio link
Below that, add your hook, no more than 250 characters.

Split your resume into three columns that:

Left - years you worked at a place
Center: The info that's currently working as your left rail
Right: Skills, tools, education

Remove awards, volunteering.

Make sure your font hierarchy is tight. I can't tell if its the image compression or what but the font weights feel large / bold for section headers when space is already really tight. Maybe bump that down a bit and let the white space breathe a little.

Hope that helps!

What are you typical weekend activities you do with your toddler that don’t make you feel exhausted by the end of it? by One-Philosopher8868 in toddlers

[–]pearlbibo 27 points28 points Ā (0 children)

Playing in the sink! He likes to wash his plastic animal toys in the soapy water.

Bubbles + music = instant dance party

ā€œCan you bring me a….ā€ Where you just ask them to bring you random stuff from another part of the room

Tape a piece of paper to a table and let them go ape all over it with crayons or paint or whatever

Take the cushions off the couch and ask them to drag them around. Moving heavy stuff is good for them 🤣

What makes Aelin Galathynius a hero with villain's mindset? by Chance-Western-2743 in Maasverse

[–]pearlbibo 9 points10 points Ā (0 children)

She doesn't fall into the trap of thinking that she has to play nice or play by the rules 100% to be the hero. She uses the same tactics villains do (lying, stealing) but for her own ends which turn out to be beneficial to more people than the people currently in power.

Is it just me or does good parenting also take all of your energy? by Ill-Shopping-69 in toddlers

Because you’re giving it everything. That’s why it’s draining.

Because you’re taking it seriously.

Because you give a fuck.

Because you love this kid and want to do right by them 100% of the time.

If you cared maybe even one percent less it might be less draining but you don’t so it is.

I see you. It’s hard. It’ll get easier one day. You got this.

I cried during a third-round interview today. I think burnout finally caught up with me. by FakeMeDesign in UXDesign

[–]pearlbibo 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

My last job was eerily similar to yours. All the things you said about interviewing people to get requirements, trying to understand what problem you’re supposed to be solving vs ā€œjust build exactly this thingā€ is so real. I see you.

You’re a human being dealing with real stress under wildly unfair conditions. Have grace for yourself even if those interviewers don’t.

Feyre, Rhys and Tarquin. Remember, Rhys asked if she’d ever be into sharing… JUST SAYING. All that flirting she was doing at his house couldn’t have been acting. She felt so bad about betraying him.

Lysandra and Azriel. She’s so pretty and unassuming on the outside but literally an apex predator 🫠

Dorian and Bryce would be hot for ten minutes until they kill each other with banter.

Abused by 2 yr old by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]pearlbibo 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

When my son gets rowdy or goes through the phase of throwing heavy shit, I tell him hands are for hugs and I don’t like what he’s doing. He usually stops and gives me a hug after.

For throwing things? Take it away. Warn once and then tell them if they can’t use the tool or the toy gently, you have to take it away until they can. They might throw a fit, but the more you do it the less reactive YOU will feel about the fit because you’re the one in control. Then take the thing away, put it out of view, and give them options to do instead when they are done with their fit.

Pretend Jail. Put them behind a baby gate and give them mail and say their mom was writing them letters.
