if you wanna be good at something you just have to do it. “but I suck at it!” so what, just do it. And do it again. And again. And again. And then maybe you’ll still suck at it but you’ll suck more confidently and tbh nobody knows wtf they’re doing except maybe NASA so

I love that we’re in the early stages of this app where you’ll pretty much follow anyone that’s posting anything consistently and then we’ll look back in like 10 years and be like oh….i actually don’t know this person at all? We were just in the trenches together.

They're just SO FUNNY. I really love when groups use the mods to add more roles and then it's just CHAOS.

Awesome news! I used Responsive Web Design as one of my research sources for my bachelor thesis back in 2012. It’s a great book for starters and seasoned designers/developers. Thanks for sharing! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

i really really love it when i'm designing in code, and i've tried a few things, made some clever solutions, etc etc but then the one solution appears, and the result? i get to DELETE tons of junks it's like the right design solution is always minimal, you just gotta find it

Going to have another crack at this with my daughter. We were doing it last year but box 4 had the wrong bits in it! Rectified too late alas. Will try again!

4 decades. I want to party all night as much as I want to eat soup and go to bed at 6.

1 month shooting on iPhone 16 Pro. I don’t care what anyone says, this camera is incredible.

Quick #designsky updates: made a new starter pack of designers to go along with the custom feed, and tweaked the feed to include extra designy keywords (so more posts will show up there.)
