Nobody asked for this, but I just signed up for instance with and I already have some strong thoughts and feelings about their app design.
Designer auditing the poor design of the State Farm app's onboarding flow
Here's your sign that if you're struggling with something maybe you should just reach out to the person who is the best at that thing and ask if they'd like to do it instead.
Here's the crappy G I sent and then the one he sent back. The dude rocks.

So Contact is one of my favorite sci-fi movies, and part of why is about how "real" it feels. It's far less fantastic-feeling than most sci-fi.Part of that is the contemporary setting, sure, but the visual direction plays a big part of it. pic.twitter.com/ov2CY8JAxJ— foone🏳️⚧️ (@Foone) August 19, 2018

Technical breakdown of a few neurologicalgical innovations in the Vision Pro
One of the coolest results involved predicting a user was going to click on something before they actually did. That was a ton of work and something I’m proud of. Your pupil reacts before you click in part because you expect something will happen after you click. So you can create biofeedback with a user's brain by monitoring their eye behavior, and redesigning the UI in real time to create more of this anticipatory pupil response. It’s a crude brain computer interface via the eyes, but very cool. And I’d take that over invasive brain surgery any day.

One thing I love about Abbott Elementary that I haven’t seen mentioned yet is the ethical, kind use of child performers on the show. I am an outlier who thinks kids should not act professionally, and on AE they barely do - they pretty much just act like regular kids— 1/5— Eliza Skinner (@elizaskinner) September 15, 2022

“The great @verge review of iPhone 14 Pro took a (literal) close look at the animations on a pixel level. Incredible.
They also reveal that Apple uses special hardware-based subpixel antialiasing to make them extra smooth. Which other company does this? https://t.co/70c2SACDAj”

Interestingly, the app was first dubbed “Find my Family”. Management (read: Steve) found the entire idea of location tracking deeply creepy. It led to a very long design process with dozens of beautiful and wacky app concepts to make it less… stalky and more friendly.— Sebastiaan de With (@sdw) August 20, 2022
