Ask HN: Which tools/services have your favorite UI/UX?

e.g.: * Linux with its pipes * i3 with its window management * vim * emacs * fzf * pgsql * google.com * wikipedia.com

I can't help but think that we could do so much more with some tools.

Netlify is consistently held up as an example of how to do developer focused UX. I'm def biased as an ex employee but I can attest that i've seen from the inside how closely design and accessibility are integrated in the dev process.

as far as up and comers, i'd recommend checking out https://supabase.io/ - love the minimal black/green aesthetic. they recently released a Tailwind/React design system too https://ui.supabase.com/

I’m a big fan of how GitLab approaches things. Their design library is a tremendous resource: https://design.gitlab.com/

Heroku. It abstracts SO much work away and just lets you get on with writing software. It's probably the most underrated platform online. Following that, I think the UI/UX are learned appreciation. Vim and Emacs are amazing once you "get it", same with tiling window managers, etc. Good UX is supposed to be discoverable in a sense and most power tools for developers aren't exactly known for being approachable.
