Realistic glass backdrop 🤯In reality we see glass objects reflecting light even before they are placed directly between our eyes and the light source.CSS backdrops, however, blur only intersecting objects. But I've found a solution to that!Here's a demo on @linear website pic.twitter.com/2Lqp2GVAer— Artur Bień (@artur_bien) September 27, 2023

Nice detail 👌✨”

“When starting a project from scratch, I start by designing in grayscale to not get distracted by colors. The key is to get the structure and displayed information right before doing anything really visual. It's a powerful tool. 🙂
More on this app project soon...”

The work:
Make it work on iPhone light mode...

Landscape and portrait designs.
Don't show label in landscape.
On iPad give it different paddings.
Different light/dark designs on mac.
On macOS add a menu.
Oh SwiftUI doesn't…”

“I ran @uenodotco, a digital agency, for 7 years before selling it to Twitter.

The organizational culture that enables Apple designers to double the scope of a product roadmap based off their opinion & feelings—like adding a screen to show your eyes that users will never see—is something that could never exist at Facebook. pic.twitter.com/2JTVX2t6pJ— Nikita Bier (@nikitabier) June 6, 2023
