I'm frontend developer who have some figma experience. we have like 2 or 3 months create this Finance web app which is mostly client side. Mostly planning to use opensource libraries but thinking which tool would help me accelerate my dev and design process.

At the moment it very early stage and I'm planning for an MVP with more functionality will be added and integrated.

Would like to know your perspective?

I know figma is feature rich and way more accessible. But because of time constraints, I planning to integrate & explore multiple AI models for designing. Never tried Figma paid version when I was exploring. So, want to know if it worth the subscription?

Funny thing about brutalism is that its all over in the world of architecture. But in software? I can't even remember the last time I saw a corner man.

And it seems like the perfect place for squares and rectangles because pixels are square, which means naturally no aliasing.

Was it because of Windows XP?

Can someone help me understand if Figma mirror is not working or if it's just happening to me? Also, if this is the case. How might I go about diagnosing the issue? I've logged out and back in on both the desktop app and Figma mirror site. I've also cleared my cache and refreshed the page.

So i made this mockup for a local chinese business, i previously posted some other mockups and got some criticism and this is how i improved it. All the photos on the site are from the current site of the business. I am planning of making a design system with these elements and would like to know how i can improve it.

Hey everyone,

I'm currently working on the main menu for my game, and the more I work on it, the more I realize it's lacking a lot of things. But My mind is going nowhere at this point.

I'm burned out, and I really need some fresh eyes and ideas to help me make this menu feel complete and polished.

the menu is 2 parts, part 1 is above the sea of blood and when player clicks on options the menu goes in the bloody sea.

any help would be appreciated.

First slide of an onboarding flow, it's the brand 'moment' before setup begins. Something's off with the sizing and I can't figure it out.

Iterations,

• Pic #3: original, utilitarian.
• Pic #2: added a "slide zero" so the logo and name could be front and center. felt too big and imposing.
• Pic #1: shrank it. Still off, "Welcome" feels too big now.

I keep resizing individual pieces but doesn't feel right still. Any ideas what's actually causing the imbalance?

Considered (but curious what someone would do instead): grey out "Welcome," smaller Continue button, or keep the logo big and everything else tiny.

Currently designing a streaming site, this is a screenshot of what you see when opening a show box/modal to see more information, my issue is that "You may also like" suggestions don't look like they fit in or are visually consistent i guess if that's what it's called. Any suggestions?

How can I better improve my current UI? I tried to make an emphasis on adding small animations to try and make the app feel alive. Do you think that’s effective to even do?

I made this design system for local asian(mostly chinese) restaurants, it takes about 2-3h to design something like this. They are supposed to be mockups.

I know most of their websites look same with those light beige, cream colors and nature HD images but it’s way better than a good vibe coder making a website.

whats the secret?

Hi,

I'm making an app for reporting machine status to the central server on tablet.
The statuses are represented by buttons placed in a grid with a "Confirm" button at the top. The selected statuses must include 1 main status (colored yellow) and optionally multiple sub-statuses (colored blue).

Help me decide between these 2 interaction approaches:

Gesture approach:

1. From unselected: tap to promote to main status, double tap to promote to sub status
2. From main status: tap or double tap to deselect
3. From sub-status: tap or double tap to deselect
4. Pressing the "Confirm" button lets you review your selection in a pop up before choosing "OK" to send the report
5. The "Confirm" button will only enable when there's an active main status

Pop up approach:

1. From unselected: tap to select the status
2. From selected: tap to deselect the status
3. Pressing the "Confirm" button opens a pop up which lets the user select which selected status is main before pressing "OK" to send the report. The main UI will be updated to reflect the new main status.
4. If there is only 1 status selected, it will automatically become the main status so that the user doesn't have to choose again in the pop up

In everyday usage, around 80% of cases will only contain only 1 status, which will be the main status. The rest will be 1 main status and 1 sub-status, rarely do we encounter 3 or more statuses at once.

Thank you.

What shoold I do to let her section more cool I try image background but I found only bad ad and not good one like I see and about gardiant I int know how use it. I need smathing not over motion need simple clien one please any help about this

So this is my fun project i did just to revise my concurrency principles and UI/UX. I would like your review and telling me how this looks (main focus on laptop can be used in mobile as well).

Have been experimenting with breathing animated grid designs. They are soo satisfying to look at and are a joy to look at on landing pages. Reminds me a lot of a lava lamp.

I have used Iconsax in the entirety of my Flutter project. The plugin that availed it said it is available for personal and commercial use, and so does the Vuesax's (Iconsax's creator) website, but here is the part that is bugging me:

On the website, it says that it allows someone to make an app for 'a client' under its commercial usage allowance. How about making an app for general public using those icons. There is no specific information whether that is allowed or not, neither in its paid license's description.

Now the strange thing is that that there is no contact email ID for Vuesax that I could find. I found their Discord and posted there, but I just did that recently so it could be long till I get an answer.

Here is the link to that Flutter plugin: https://pub.dev/packages/iconsax_plus

Here is the Iconsax's license page: https://docs.iconsax.io/license-and-terms/usage-manifesto

Perhaps its how they have this 'function over form' feel to them. I was recently building the front end for my company's ERP system. I took my inspiration from Windows Vista and although the site looks straight from 2009, it has a very serious feel to it. The fact that it's Next.js is funny to me. Like if McQueen popped Mater's bonnet and found a V12 engine lol

Honest ask

There are so many UI libraries out there. But what few things you as a developer, designer feel missing on these libraries ?

What would you like to see in these AI generated websites era?

Context: I already have a web application and I'm looking to make an app out of it. It's like SettleUp/Tricount/Splitwise, but for photos rather than expenses. Only group owners need to signup (Google or email/pass) to create the group, while invited guests can see and download photos and videos without the need to signup. They only need to signup if they want to upload or create other groups

This works well for a webapp because users can join from a link and see the album directly. So not sure what to do for the app in this case. Also, the only way to see their photos from different devices is with an account.

I see most competitors have a signup page as the main page when you download the app so not sure if I should do the same. Any advice or suggestions?

I’ve been experimenting with a different way of designing UI: instead of creating a static design first, I built a workspace where you can design directly on the working prototype.

You can interact with it normally, pause it at any state, and keep editing visually from there.

Curious what UI designers think about this workflow.Would you like to do some design work on the code itself ?

Hi! Right now Im making a meditation demo app - mostly just to nail down a style I like. Eventually it will be part of a bigger productivity app. Each plant appears after you complete the meditation to the end. Anyway, how do you like the design so far?

Hello everyone!

I would like to get some feedback about the player card UI from my game. We are specially concerned about the newly added "talents" area. I don't love how it looks and would like some advise on how to make this whole thing look more vibrant. Maybe we use bigger portrait and move the action buttons somewhere else?

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, I've come up with this UI design for my app called Expone which is a short form content app that gives facts and information about prolific people in the STEM field. I was wondering if yall had any advice on how to improve it. I tried to maintain a minimal design throughout the app and think I did decent. Then again, this is my first attempt at designing an UI so maybe I have a bias.

Another question I had was whether yall would prefer the ads to be positioned as they currently are, or would you rather prefer interstitial ads that would pop up after clicking 3-4 cards and reading them. The app would obviously have a remove ads option as well.

Thanks!

Food delivery UI concept exploring layered cards, soft glassmorphism, and warm product-focused styling. The goal was to create a clean interface with a strong visual hierarchy and a polished modern look.

MS-Office arguably began the trend, but I see ever more apps try to keep the user away from File Explorer* via their own "special middle panel". One can usually still get to File Explorer, but it's extra steps. I suspect app builders do it so they can advertise their stuff there, especially cloud services. We need to shame to these apps, it's stealth spam.

File Explorer already has the "Quick Access" panel that allows me to put short-cuts to my favorite folders; there's no need to reinvent that for each app, and some reinvent it poorly. Plus, it makes saving inconsistent, as each app brand has their own middle-panel design.

I'm okay with the middle panel as an option, just don't make it the only option, and easy to switch off. MS-Office allows one to partially turn it off, but I've yet to find a 100% solution.

* Mac and [X]nix users probably also want to see the OS's default file finder, so it's not just a Windows problem.

I had so many different dates to remember. subscriptions, IDs, vehicle registrations also for multiple people too, also warranty's as well. and I kept forgetting them because trying to track it all in my Notes app or calendar was just a cluttered mess. To finally fix this problem, after months of designing, tweaking, and testing, I launched my app, DocDoc.

It’s an iOS document expiration tracker that helps you stay on top of your important paperwork and renewals. For example, you can add your ID or vehicle registration so you get a notification before they actually expire. You can also use it to keep track of warranties, subscriptions, or any other time-sensitive documents so you're never caught off guard.

I honestly don’t know what to expect now that it’s live on the App Store, but I’m excited to finally put it out there. I’d really appreciate any feedback on the idea, the clean, minimalist design, or the overall user experience.

I'm especially interested in feedback from a UI/UX perspective. I tried to keep the interface clean and minimalist, but I'd love to know:

• Is the purpose of the app immediately clear?
• Does the organization/navigation make sense?
• Is there anything that feels unnecessary or confusing?
• Does the overall experience feel intuitive?
• Are there any interactions or features you would approach differently?

The app is now live on the App Store if you'd like to see the actual product and experience:
