So many product teams focused on the wrong competition. They only look at other products that solve the problem similar to how they solve the problem and miss everything else the market considers a competing solution.

Lazyweb: is there a way to manipulate the DOM on a live website (like in DevTools) and then save it so I can load the changes next time I open that site?

Eventually I'll write some thoughts about working as a freelance designer for over a decade. But not now. I need to get some distance from it first. For now, I'm just relaxing.

🎉 Excited to share I'll be joining the design team at Webflow! I've been consulting for over 11 years, which is a crazy thing to write. I’m ready to close that chapter and and super excited to start this next one. Looking forward to working with all the crazy talented people over there.

One of my favourite UI patterns is using `backdrop-filter` to create a “frosted glass” effect.

When I see this effect in the wild, though, it’s almost never as lush and realistic as it could be. There’s an important optimization that nobody makes.

✨ I share the secret sauce in my brand-new post:
Next-level frosted glass with backdrop-filter • Josh W. Comeau
Glassy headers have become a core part of the “slick startup” UI toolkit, but they’re all missing that final 10% that really makes it shine. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create the most reali...

A fantastic example of why I get so frustrated with the "psychology of color" content that says green = growth, blue = calm, etc. Our relationship with color is contextual to our culture.
Most apps just translate words.
Great apps translate culture.

Perfect example:
Apple's Stocks app shows growth in:
• Red for Chinese markets
• Green for Western users

Small detail. Huge impact.
This is how you build for a global audience.

Share your favorite cultural adaptation! 🌏

Do any of my followers own a Daylight Computer? I really want to get one, but I'm been burned so many times on V1 hardware that I decided to wait until reviews start rolling in.

I find the best teachers are often people who once sucked at something but put in the work to get better over people who are naturally gifted.

A friend sent me an app that lets you run "user research" with AI participants and asked what I thought about it. I obviously have my (very strong) opinions about it but I thought it could be a fun discussion.

So what do you think about using LLMs for user research?

Any Webflow experts following me looking for a small job?

One of my friends a CEO of a small SaaS product is looking for someone to revise their home page.

There's something I need people to understand.

The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.

The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

100% true for designers too.

Great writing helps you articulate your design decisions, make a strong case, communicate direction and vision, work with remote teams, and so much more.
Writing is the most underrated skill to build as a developer or developer advocate to grow your career, whether or not you want to go into management.

Great writing for talk titles and abstracts, tickets, emails, internal reports, and even Slack communications can get you a long way.

My skeets are either deeply niche UX product strategy thinking or meta posts about Bluesky itself and I refuse to do anything else.

A mental model I use when designing B2B SaaS is trying to find the right balance of "magic".

Magic in this context: things the system is doing that the user can't see. Used in the same way that developers talk about a dev framework being “like magic” or "too much magic".

Ok, I'm going to ask for a personal favor. I want to get the official Halide account off Twitter. Yesterday.

If you feel that it fits, I'd appreciate if you add @halideapp.bsky.social to your Bluesky Starter Pack. I think it posts good stuff.

Thanks for considering.👍🏻
