Irrelevant, if that doesn't lead to product innovation. Historically, it hasn't.

Hijacking this comment to share another alternative: the app Balance ( https://www.balanceapp.com/ ) has really great sleep meditation, a bit similar to Yoga Nidra. They're current…

It's applying next-gen lighting techniques to a game without lights.

I think it's because most tech/product people incorrectly assume that other people also search for the best products to solve their problems

Sure, my comment is in response to the claim that monochrome icons are user-hostile and pushed by a cargo-culting UX profession. Plenty of professional tools (Photoshop, Final Cut,…

This is only true if we pretend that UI design is largely about button-level optimization. Clearly it needs to work on the macro level as well, and it's not farfetched to assume th…

I think the design is great, just too small. Try viewing the demo ( https://read.cv/andy ) on desktop at 125% zoom. Pretty much perfect.

The implication here is that money spent on ads is largely wasted. Companies like Uber and Ebay have turned off all their adspend and saw little to no change in their acquisition m…

Thank you, this looks super useful! In case you're considering taking this further: a Figma plugin for this would make it 10x better. Changing the seed color could automatically up…

>Someone, somewhere at that company chose to hire someone... and they know what they want them to do. Why aren't they telling me? This isn't necessarily true. As a counter example,…

I'm surprised you find the race unnecessary, but continue to include the gender. "Rich people" would be all that's required.

>fan base who seem to like any change just for the sake of change I think it's more that (visual) UI Design has the same cyclical property of most other "visual design" like clothi…

The point is that the visibility is the best way to drive legislative change. Those changes will then have real-world impact. You're right that this is a slow process, but it's sti…

Actual systemic progress happens through legislative changes. Social pressure is used by the public to show which issues they care about, and what politicians should be working on.…

I feel like this is ignoring how self-centered most people are. There's plenty of laws that your average person agrees with because they want everyone else to follow them: pay your…

While great radio stations solve the issue of finding new music, finding great radio stations is even harder than finding new music. I've been lucky to have moved a few times and d…

One thing that bothers me in this discussion is the 'business model' justification. >his audience values that particular kind of game way more than it does art Isn't that ridiculou…

I don't think people are missing the point. There's 2 aspects to this: style (retro) and execution (the actual graphics). Gamers generally like the style. The Venn diagram of his t…

If you work at Google everything you make, even in your spare time, belongs to them. That's how the contracts work, unfortunately.
