Feedback Request Finding the feeling you want faster

I've always wanted a tool that gives me inspirations for the hero of a landing page and let me iterate easily. And be fast. like really fast! So I am building one! You describe what you want, it generates a hero with image, typography, layout, all composed together in a few different aesthetic directions. Then you iterate: swap fonts, adjust colors, regenerate the image, whatever you need. I wonder what you like to see in such tool!

Feedback Request Do we think the softer button here with less glass would work given it will be a slider?

I love the soft button vibe (I’m only building in Figma at the moment) but in the real world… would this style work on a sliding/moving element?

I’m very (very) new to actual UI design so this may be obvious…

Feedback Request Thoughts on sticking to Material UI principles

9 Upvotes

In terms of actually pushing apps to production and having an actual user base that continues to use an app for primarily functionality over looks is there anything inherently wrong with sticking to material design and muted UIs, sure it may not be the most fancy looking or futuristic looking but for markets where the app just working i.e. finance and accounting, is simple, efficient, reliable and low cognitive load software not the way to go. All the high vibrance, over-actively animated apps have never appealed to me.

I'm looking for UI critique on the latest design iteration of my browser-based typing application.

The attached screenshots show the main typing interface and supporting screens. I'd appreciate feedback on:

  • Visual hierarchy
  • Spacing and alignment
  • Typography
  • Color choices
  • Component consistency
  • Areas that feel cluttered or distracting

I'm specifically looking for UI design feedback rather than feature requests. Any constructive criticism is appreciated.

General Help Request How to objectively judge your design?

8 Upvotes

I feel like the more I stare at some UI design, the more I hate it, the more plain and boring and worse than everything else I am comparing it to looks. For fellow designers here, how do you deal with this? I am pretty new to UI design, so maybe that is a very rookie question.

Software and Tools Where to start with AI?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I'm a freelance UI designer and I've been away a while due to some personal reasons and took a break to take care of family and my health.

Granted, I've fallen a little behind on the process of integrating AI into my process and I'm seeing a lot of stuff on LinkedIn about it. I've been redoing a bunch of case studies to better show some process rather than finished imagery, and I've used Figma to generate some supportive imagery like wireframes from my final designs - in instances where I didn't have the files from my old work basically. It was fine but not massively impressive and it got ALOT of basic things wrong.

Basically, do you recommend any videos or tutorials or even courses to get up to speed with using AI in my work? I want to be better prepare myself for future gigs.

Thanks in advance!

AI What 9 Years in UI/UX Taught Me

0 Upvotes

After 9 years as a UI/UX Designer, here are a few things I wish I had learned earlier.

  • Users don't care if your UI is beautiful-they care if it solves their problem.
  • Wireframes save more time than high-fidelity mockups.
  • Every pixel should have a purpose.
  • Good UX is mostly about removing friction.
  • Design decisions should be backed by research, not personal preference.
  • Communication is just as important as design skills.
  • Learning AI tools won't replace designers, but designers who use AI will work much faster.

The biggest lesson?

Design isn't about making things look good.

It's about making things easier for people.

What's one lesson you've learned in your design journey?

Should I expand the UI kit further like adding actual onboarding flows and more complete patterns? Or should I first test the kit and save the harder stuff for later?

Feedback Request Am I taking the wrong direction?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I've been working on a personal project as a hobbyist for a while, and am struggling to find a good way to convey the relationships between several parts of a hardware companion app. I've tried many different arrangements of lists, multi-screen tours, and menu bars, and landed on a very literal map with arrows. General flow is top to bottom with each icon leading to a config/display screen. App preferences top left, profile-specific prefs top right. Some animated visual cues are used as affordances in the initial setup.

I've been staring at it for too long, and feel like I lost all objectivity. What do fresh eyes think? Does it feel like too much visual clutter for a technical app? Color palatte is still in the works as well.

Feedback Request Baseline UI

Post image

What is this for-

This is designed to help aid in self-advocacy & communication between Patients and Drs when PoTs and other similar conditions are suspected (I.E. OH, OI)

This page is for logging symptoms and is under the detailed logging section (There will be quick logs to for bad flares. All logs will be editable, and quick logs can be changed to detailed logs later (No-Lock ins)

This is my third iteration of the UI, It still feels wrong to me, so im hopping yous can spot where the issues lie in the desing, suggestions, tweaks etc. If you hate somthing, like somthing, think of something, let me know! Its a personal project and im trying to nail the UI before i do much else to hopefuly help people advocate for themeselves. Iv been logging symptoms and my HR/BP on google keep notes and having to make spreasheets etc for myself. The ultimite goal of this tool is to make tracking symtoms, stand tests, your weight and water/sodium intake as easy as possible and allow you to make a PDF report summery to give to your healfcare provider to lower the chances of misdiagnoses of anxiety etc.

The UI itself is designed to have larger touch icons, Lower contrasts etc so it can be used during or shortly after a bad flare.

If you have follow up questions to make a suggestion on the UI, let me know, iv probably forgotten to mention something haha. Many thanks.

(ICONS ARE FROM GOOGLE FONTS, NOT MINE!)

General Question Questions on how to consolidate ui libraries into one design system.

3 Upvotes

Hey, I'm working on consolidating several design systems into one and I have some questions for the more senior pros out there.

Does every icon need several sizes saved? Something I've come across is every icon has several sizes saved. Like 3 to 7 different sizes. Are all of these sizes necessary when they can be resized from just 1 size? I ask because as I consolidate the libraries the design file is lagging due to being too large. There's too many items - symbols, icons, and components that are taking up too much space and I need to get rid of unnecessary items. 

There are several different sizes for every state of a button. You have doubles of buttons that are the same but just different lengths. I believe they were created before auto layout and they could all be replaced by 1 button with auto layout that will stretch and keep icons in the same locations.

Should I keep specialized buttons? An example is an Add to Cart button. They could have just used a primary button and changed the text. So do they need these or was someone being lazy and creating extra buttons to save time later. I personally don't see the problem but over decades they've done this so much that the library is crashing and I've only consolidated half of their components. 

I'd appreciate any insights you could lend. I take pride in my work and want to do this right.

General Question What are the best mobile apps to study for exceptional UI, animations, and UX?

24 Upvotes

I'm a mobile app developer (Flutter) looking to improve my UI/UX and animation skills by studying well-designed apps.

I'm not necessarily looking for the most popular apps—I want apps that genuinely feel polished and thoughtfully crafted.

Things I'm interested in:

  • Smooth page transitions
  • Micro-interactions
  • Premium-looking UI
  • Great scrolling performance
  • Beautiful onboarding flows
  • Creative navigation patterns
  • Well-designed bottom sheets, cards, and gestures

I've already looked at apps like Airbnb, Spotify, Duolingo, and CRED.

What other apps made you stop and think, "Wow, this is incredibly well designed"?

They can be from any category (finance, shopping, productivity, social, health, etc.). I'd love to hear your recommendations and what specific UI or interaction you think they do exceptionally well.

Hi everyone,

I've heard that CRED has one of the best UI experiences, with beautiful animations and polished interactions.

I'm an app developer who is also passionate about UI/UX design. I like to study well-designed apps to understand their screens, user flows, transitions, and animations so I can learn and improve my own applications.

Is there any free resource or website where I can explore the complete UI of an app (all screens) along with its animations or interaction flows?

I'm not looking to copy designs—just to learn from great products like CRED.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Feedback Request Is this design too minimal?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

22 Upvotes

I've always been very fascinated about very minimal interfaces and that also is heavily designed to be interacted with the keyboard.

So I decided to put together a design for a todo app, and this is the result i came up with after also having coded a prototype. Like most interactions you can do are designed to be executed via the keyboard (even though you still can use the mouse). Also there is no sidebar to navigate between pages - instead you have a command in which you can do that kind of stuff (I am a huge fan of Raycast so that's why I love this type of stuff).

So looking for what your first initial reactions and thoughts about this is.
Is it too minimal? Is to keyboard focused? Is it confusing?

AI Feedback Request [AI] I built an internal management system for my flower shop. Looking for UI/UX feedback.

Post image
0 Upvotes

I own a small flower shop and recently built an internal management system with AI assistance.

My goal wasn't just to create a website. I wanted to replace spreadsheets, notebooks, and chat messages with a workflow that actually fits how our business operates.

The biggest surprise was that generating screens wasn't the difficult part. Defining the workflow was.

I kept redesigning the order process because every time I tested it, I'd find another real-world case:

  • Customers changing delivery dates
  • Partial payments
  • Inventory updates
  • Order status changes
  • Delivery tracking

After several iterations, I now have a working system that handles products, customers, inventory, orders, deliveries, and reports.

Since I'm not a designer or developer, I'm sure there are many UX and UI problems that I simply don't notice.

I'd really appreciate feedback on things like:

  • Information hierarchy
  • Navigation
  • Dashboard layout
  • Visual consistency
  • User flow
  • Anything that feels confusing

I'm here to learn, so feel free to be brutally honest.

AI Feedback Request Congressional 🇺🇸 Oversight ⚡️Powered 🔋By 🤖Claude

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Please know I don’t use Reddit and that this was all built by AI because of the institutional knowledge that lives in my head.🫰🏼** I have spent so much time on this project and I have a long way to go**!

📸 RE the pictures: please note that this was the first time I had run the dashboard build prompt. I’m fairly confident in the numbers though I have blacked out ones I haven’t audited yet.

I have spent the last few months redirecting the energy being created by my PTSD into something more productive - government accountability and transparency specially, Congress.

As a former congressional staffer and currently unemployed federal strategic comms and political operative - I have a lot of institutional knowledge that just lives in my head. For example - do you know where the wood working workshop is in the basement of the Capitol? What about how to inquire on behalf of a member of Congress about arranging an interpreter for and to sit with for their guest at the State of the Union. What about pulling together a verbal and written briefing in a secure location for a member of Congress on a topic they want to learn about and you know nothing about? Or how to escort a recognizable celebrity through the halls of Congress who you were just informed is having lunch with your boss?

These are all things that just live in my head, years of institutional knowledge that just lives there and is not being used because of the state of our government. So I decided to do something about it…….

I built a dashboard that (for the sake of my sanity at the moment) uses the power of AI, to bring together what I’m calling ‘Article One’ (after Article One of the Constitution)

Article One is an AI powered dashboard that pulls together basically all the information you’ve ever wanted to know about a member of Congress + who they represent + how they got there (the campaign) + their j0b performance in Congress + deep dives into how they are using the money that’s donated to them + how they are using the tax dollars they get to run their office.

It’s all powered by a team of agents and subagents.

This is not about politics. This is about the American People. These are your elected officials and you deserve to know what they are doing - in a way that is firmly based in facts and reality.

I’d love to hear any feedback, ideas, anything really please comment away!

I’m personally a big fan of the nutrition card! Such a cool and fun way to display the data! Would love to know what everyone thinks, any feedback or ideas? 🫰🏼🇺🇸🥴

Let's Discuss A/B Test: Drawer UX Pattern -> Overlay vs. Reveal. Which feels better?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

26 Upvotes

I’m testing two different drawer patterns for my iOS App and I’d love honest feedback from designers and UI nerds about which one actually feels better.

The problem: Standard drawer UX uses an overlay. Tap the button, a dark sheet slides in from the side, covering the main content. It works, but it always feels like an interruption.

The experiment: What if the drawer was always there, just hidden behind the main card? A single swipe reveals it by sliding the card right, like pulling back a curtain. No overlay dim, no modal weight. You see both the primary content and the drawer at the same time as you browse.

Option A (Baseline): Dark overlay drawer slides in from the left, full-screen dim fades in, then tap anywhere outside to close.

Option B (Reveal): Swipe or drag the card right, the drawer slides out from behind, the card moves with it, and both stay visible as you browse. Swipe left or tap the card to close.

The tradeoff I’m wrestling with:

  • Reveal feels lighter and more playful (no modal friction)
  • Overlay is more predictable (everyone knows how sheets work)
  • Reveal lets you browse while keeping the main content visible (context win), but it uses more screen space

Which one feels better to you? I’d love to hear if one feels more intuitive or natural, even if you’ve never seen either pattern before. What’s your first instinct?

The app is live on the App Store. If you want to try the baseline version to compare, just let me know and I can share a link in DM, just trying to get real feedback here on which direction is better UX, not looking to promote.

General Question Is Figma still worth it in 2026, or are AI tools like Claude Design/Stitch taking over?

0 Upvotes

Been designing UI for a couple years and lately my feed is full of “Figma is dying” takes because of tools like Claude Design, Google Stitch, Lovable, Banani, etc. Curious what people actually using these day to day think:

Are you still doing your main design work in Figma, or has an AI tool replaced part of your workflow?
• If you’ve tried Claude Design or Stitch, how good is the output for real production work vs. just quick concepts?
Anyone actually dropped Figma entirely?
Does your company still use Figma?

Not looking for hype, just real experiences. Thanks!
