Design processing

Dan wrote an interesting post with a somewhat clickbaity title; This Competition Exposed How AI is Reshaping Design: I watched two designers go head-to-head in a high-speed battle to create the best landing page in 45 minutes. One was a seasoned pro. The other was a non-...

Design for a Small Planet – Scott Jenson

jenson.org/smallplanet/

So, let’s start with a simple premise: how can we make design less opaque and encourage teams to make small changes more efficiently? Not every product decision needs to be a big, complicated design process.

This checklist, in four parts, is meant to be a simple, lightweight way for the team to get the ‘gist’ of the issue and make a shared decision quickly. It’s a starting point, a way to get the critical information in once place so the entire team can understand and discuss. The four parts are:

  • Gather: Bring the right info together into a single place
  • Impact: List the size of the problem and possible risks
  • Sketch: Create a preliminary sketch of a solution
  • Team Huddle: Get the product team to discuss and agree on a solution.

Ten years ago today I coined the shorthand “js;dr” for “JavaScript required; Didn’t Read”. - Tantek

Practice Progressive Enhancement.

Build first and foremost with forgiving technologies, declarative technologies, and forward and backward compatible coding techniques.

All content should be readable without scripting.

If it’s worth building on the web, it’s worth building it robustly, and building it to last.

Curating UX London 2025

I’ve had my head down for the past six months putting the line-up for UX London together. Following the classic design cliché, the process was first divergent, then convergent. I spent months casting the net wide, gathering as many possible candidates as I could, as well as...

Twittotage

I left Twitter in 2022. With every day that has passed since then, that decision has proven to be correct. (I’m honestly shocked that some people I know still have active Twitter accounts. At this point there is no justification for giving your support to a place that’s lit...

Sessioning

Brighton is blessed with plenty of traditional Irish music sessions. You need some kind of almanac to keep track of when they’re on. Some are on once a month. Some are twice a month. Some are every two weeks (which isn’t the same as twice a month, depending on the month). Sometimes when the stars align just right, you get a whole week of sessions in a row. That’s what happened last week with sessions on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I enjoyed playing my mandolin in each of them. There was even a private party on Saturday night where a bunch of us played tunes for an hour and a half. There’s nothing quite like playing music with other people. It’s good for the soul.

I look the look of this proposal that would allow authors to have more control over network priorities for third-party iframes—I’ve already documented how I had to use a third-party library to fix this problem on the Salter Cane site.

Prog

I really like Brad’s new project, Cold Album Drumming: Brad Frost plays drums to the albums he knows intimately, but has never drummed to before. Cover to cover. No warm-up. No prep. Totally cold. What could possibly go wrong? I got a kick out of watching him play alon...
