Phoenix 1.18 is going to ship with support for https://daisyui.com. I wonder if upgrading might be a good opportunity for Keila to switch to daisyUI as well. Spruce up the UI a bit, simplify the markup, and finally add support for light mode.
Do any of you have thoughts on daisyUI?
UX Design leadership has dropped the ball. Plot twist: so has everyone else's. There is no design strategy, because there is no strategy. Fortunately, we have the tools to make our own - here's how. #ux #uxdesign #userresearch #contentdesign
I can't believe the Last.fm homepage has been so useless for so long. Once you are logged in, it's looked like the attached image for years, and I can't believe anyone finds this useful.
#UXDesign is not dead. But our stakeholders have retreated from it, informing business decisions with carefully groomed metrics rather than by listening to user needs. Here's how designers fight back.
We've tried renaming design. We've tried learning how to code. We've tried yelling at people. Now let's try something that actually works.

In this issue, I investigate the ground-level view of how this happened and how to stop it.

I think this is the single worst bit of digital #uxdesign I've seen in a long time: Trainline... try to see where you are supposed to select the date, assuming your train is not "today" or "now"...
This week's newsletter is inspired by the first female winner of the Nobel Prize in economics, for debunking the ecofascist "tragedy of the commons" theory.
Elinor Ostrom's understanding of the social system that manages a common resource is critical for making trade-offs in our own work, which can build - rather than burn - trust.

There is no end to many books, but I probably want to get the design textbook that I used at university, because it was good, it was named "Interaction Design".

I’m considering switching back to Sketch from Figma. Mainly due to pricing.
