alright, #BadUXWorldCup is too fun to pass up

how about a virtualized date picker? "virtualized" as in "virtual machine"

surprisingly easy to operate, just write some bytes to input a date

here's me entering the birthday of Internet Explorer, get creative with yours!

Should modern web design tools be modelled vector drawing apps or HTML and CSS?

That is the topic of this weeks Complementary podcast with @andreasmoller.dk

Katie Langerman @katielangerman.com · 2d

Another guest this week on Complementary! We had a fun chat with @andreasmoller.dk from @nordcraft.com about design tools based on code vs. vector. I (obviously) love the idea of designers working closer to production ❤️

I've been enjoying the submissions to the #BadUXWorldCup so here's my quick and dirty first shot. Colour is a number, date is a number - so just use your browser's built-in colour picker to find your matching date. I picked this blue Monday. Easy!

Was surprised to see that, even though CSS Grid isn't a new feature, it's still high on the list of things devs find confusing, so wrote a post about it.

I focus on a new mental model I think is helpful. Let me know what you think!
