I can't say anything succinctly.

    I feel as though I'm fighting an unwinnable battle by asking for more, not less intention in art. Most artists at least produce a statement to accompany their work, but I rarely fi…

    Also a raw HTML writer, but I’ve been considering the SSG route to make site updates (global nav changes, redesigns, etc.) manageable. You seem to have some method of handling this…

    I'm grateful to not have much of a problem with my smartphone usage, but I often find myself researching dumb phones in search of something somehow better because I quite dislike m…

    Born in ‘88. Haven’t had Facebook since 2010; Instagram since 2012; Twitter since 2017. Not on Reddit, only use Discord for voice calls with a couple friends while gaming. My few f…

    I'm inordinately irritated that this quiz is impossible to ace. I got every question right but for #6, which has an answer format that makes it impossible to answer correctly. "Sor…

    I have asked for feedback a few times—particularly on ones where I felt I got close to an offer. Unfortunately no one has even responded to these requests. The remote thing definit…

    Ask HN: What do you look for in a designer?

    I'm a designer (product, brand, etc.) with 13+ years of professional experience (20+ personal), predominately in-house at startups and freelancing for agencies and established comp…

    This is the killer for me. I've never found tech work fulfilling, personally, and I never expected to. But what has burned me out is the sense of being perpetually behind because t…

    I came to suggest exactly this, though I'm not sure I've ever seen it in the wild. Set a flat minimum amount you need to collect for the software and allow your customer to either …

    I run my mom’s portfolio site through porkbun.com. $10/yr domain + $3/mo hosting = $46. I used to use nearlyfreespeech.net for my own site and it was even cheaper, but a little mor…

    Image maps unlocked expression on the web for me when I was a kid. I enjoyed coding websites, but felt creatively limited by what I knew to be possible with simple HTML and CSS. Wh…

    I love stave churches so much. I had the good fortune of visiting the Hopperstad stave church when it was getting a fresh coat of the traditional resinous mixture that preserves it…

    I don't think I'll be designing on an Android device any time soon, but fingers crossed for implementation!

    Yeah, I hate the cloud saving too. Fortunately that's something you can customize: Preferences > File Handling > Default File Location. There are a lot of other useful settings in …

    > The new save dialog is insane. No, I don't want to save a copy just because I want to save a jpeg. Why is this even a question? I don't like the new save/load stuff either, and m…

    Appreciate your thoughts! The suicide bit was definitely a joke, so no worries there. I hear what you're saying, and definitely get how the sharing bit that has helped Figma take o…

    I think you're misunderstanding. This isn't an issue with noise cancelling or transparency mode. The issue is with the way the AirPods Pro mic picks up the user's dialogue (and sur…

    I've definitely experienced the ear-piercing scream of a siren on the other end only to be told by the person I'm talking to that the ambulance is like eight blocks away. I remembe…
