Product Design

/product-design86

A space to discuss all things product design

1/ After months of nonstop building amidst turnover and settling product direction I took advantage of a production down-cycle to put my design management hat back on and revamped our entire product design process at @decentdao. I want to share some of the key decisions and frameworks that went into this work so you can apply them to your projects. 🧵
Been working on updating my website. Took a short beat to realise I would use Framer instead of stay with Squarespace and boy am I pleased. Coming to Framer from Figma is next level 🦾
tinkering with the ability to collapse nested items within tables, I think it might be overkill but worth a visual exploration. This is an isolated view to a wider panel dealign within a hardware management platform. Currently, nesting can get really deep which will probably be capped 3 layers deep

I'm glad my utility bill payments are funding new designers for City of Austin Utilities. These new button updates are kinda fire.
A or B for these payment stream details?

A focuses on the aggregate total of payments for an asset.
B highlights the weekly amount of an asset sent to a user.

what do we think of this gradient?

@laursa.eth too much?

linear-gradient(135deg, #ffffff 40%, #a0c4ff 100%);
all my box shadow principles are long gone lol
Not sure if this question is easier or more difficult to answer than ones I've asked previously...

For the designers—what are your expectations for "Frames" (given that they're products in their own right)? What "Frames" have met those expectations?

Let's flip that last question, designers—what's a product you use regularly (daily or at the very least weekly) but don't consider to be "well-designed"?
great design question... function usually beats form, right?
Quick question for designers: Are there products you love the design of but don’t actually use?
It feels like every few years, the skillset expected of product designers shifts...which keeps things exciting IMO.

Curious if anyone's been using 3D design tools for their work? Have been interested in learning. Bezi looks really promising and seems far less complicated than other tools. Has anyone tried it?

Is there a Mobbin for Web3 apps?
/buoy is my most used Farcaster client—just shared this prototype with @pfista on being able to drag to hide and expand the search UI.

There's already a button for it (filter), does that make the drag to hide redundant? Or is it a natural expectation?

An oldie but one of the best case studies on inclusive design x business design from Benjamin Evans, prev. Inclusive Design Lead at Airbnb.

Live by the mission, design for the mission.

Sometimes its the low hanging fruit.
radius, padding, color.
My favorite app, experience-wise, that I use daily (that's not Warpcast) is the Shop mobile app. It's just really well-designed, allows me to track my packages, shop from a single place for indie brands, and get timed deals on personalized recommended products.

Favorite app, experience-wise, that I rarely use is Hotel Tonight. It's well-designed, also has some light gamification, and is an absolute breeeeeze to use. Just don't have a need for hotels too often 🤷‍♀️
