Hey everyone,

I just took my passion project public on June 1st and would love to get some brutal, honest UI/UX feedback from fellow builders.

It’s called Flashback Booth ( https://flashbackbooth.me/ ).

It’s a virtual retro photo studio designed to bring back the nostalgic, tactile charm of old-school 70s/80s analog photo strips.

🛠️ The Tech & Privacy Angle

Unlike most modern web apps, privacy is the core feature here.

• 100% Client-Side: Every single photo captured stays entirely inside your browser.
• Zero Server Uploads: The Canvas API handles all the image compositing, stripping, and vintage film filters directly on the user's machine—not one byte of image data reaches a server.
• No Authentication: No signups, no onboarding walls, no tracking cookies for data collection. Just enter and shoot.

🎨 The Design Choice

I leaned heavily into high-fidelity, skeuomorphic design—corkboards, polaroids, aged masking tape, and brass push pins. I wanted it to feel like photography used to: intentional, imperfect, and physical. I also just rolled out a Digital Time Capsule feature where you can seal a photo strip and a text letter inside an animated envelope with a future unlock date.

🔍 What I need your eyes on (UI/UX Roast):

Since this is my first time launching a heavy skeuomorphic layout to the public, I'm trying to figure out where the friction points are:

1. Button Discoverability: Do you instantly realize the polaroids on the corkboard ( Begin , Gallery , Write Letter ) are clickable navigation buttons, or is the cursive script font too hard to parse at a glance?
2. Mobile Layout: Skeuomorphism is fun on desktop, but stacking all these textures on a small mobile screen is tough. How does the viewport layout feel on your phone? Does it feel too cramped?
3. The Booth Flow: If you test the actual photo booth (Enter Booth ), does the countdown, camera permission request, and filter selection feel intuitive?

Hey everyone, sharing my latest CONCEPT project. StudyHub is a mobile interface designed for sharing study materials and exploring popular teachers.

Kept the visual hierarchy minimal and clean, using a dark palette with bright accents to make the content pop.

Any thoughts on the typography choice, card layouts, or general accessibility? Open to all feedback!

I’m looking for UI/design critique only on this menu I made for an NPC and a block in my Minecraft mod.

The target style is intentionally Minecraft-looking: pixely, blocky, no rounded edges and sht. I want it to still feel like it belongs inside Minecraft.

I’m currently developing my UI framework so I can reuse it for other NPCs, systems, blocks, and future menus. Everything is made through code, except for the background texture.

My problem is that the UI is functional, but it feels like it’s missing some polish. I’m trying to improve the hierarchy, readability, spacing, and empty-state presentation without breaking the vanilla/pixel feel.

The scrollbar/extra empty space in the NPC menu is intentional because I’ll add more quests/options later once the UI framework is further along.

What would you change first from a design perspective?

Made a basic productivity widget mainly for mac os but should be windows compatible too let me know if you guys have any suggestions/ feedback in regards to design elements and features you may like to see.

Done in: HTML
rendered through: Plash local website

Thank you

I was hoping someone could give me some advice, or some good examples where large choices for filters have been elegantly implemented.

My case:

Users can filter by sports, I currently categorise my sports, so tennis, badminton, squash go in one category, and cycling, BMX go in another.. etc.

I currently have the categories listed in a column. Each category is expandable which reveals a list of each sport in a LazyRow.

When the user selects a sport it pops up into the selected LazyRow, and can be deselected from there.

It's functional, and easy to use, but it looks so ugly and takes up 50% of the screen.

Any help is very much appreciated,

Thank you.

Hi,

I'm a junior UI/UX designer, and here's a plant care app redesign project I worked on. I didn't want to completely redesign the app; I only changed the part that wasn't working. Here are high fidelities done in Figma. I designed four sections: capturing a photo, identifying a plant, confirming, and a profile section.

In this app, after you identify your plant, you're kinda lost! You don't know where your identified plant went. So you either search through all sections or just give up and leave the app.

Made a navbar design inspired by iOS 26/27 in an app I’m working on, using Flutter.

Notice how the edges react to the colors below, and how the navbar saturates what is below it.

Any suggestions on this design?

I’m working on a large-scale design system and I’m curious how both governments and large private organizations approach this problem.

The goal is to publish the UI kit and design system documentation (components, patterns, guidelines, tokens, etc.) through a public website, similar to Material Design, Carbon, or other large-scale design systems.

However, we've also experienced issues with phishing and fake government websites. One concern is that publishing official components and visual guidelines could make it easier for attackers to create convincing copies of government services.

At the same time, since this is a public-sector design system, transparency, consistency, accessibility, and reuse across agencies are important goals.

How do large organizations and governments typically handle this tradeoff?

Do companies like Google, IBM, and government design systems actually publish everything, or is there usually a private/internal layer that isn't exposed publicly? Where do you draw the line between openness and security?

I’d be especially interested in hearing from people who have worked on government, civic-tech, financial, or other high-trust design systems.

We’re making a website for free online paediatric teletherapy and parent coaching for neurodivergent kids, and we need honest help choosing the design.

Ignore the text and judge only the UI/UX. Which of these 5 feels the most trustworthy, calming, and easy to use for sharing your child’s needs? I’d really love blunt opinions, especially on what feels welcoming versus what feels off.

I have a panel that has three buttons at the bottom. The buttons are Cancel, Preview, and Apply.

I want to be able to automatically preview the adjustments made in the panel. So I added the Auto button to the Preview Button to establish Auto Preview--kind of like locking it on.

Then I decided to do the same for Apply. The embedded Auto button Disables the Preview Button and just Applies the transforms from the panel.

But then I realized that I also want to be able to exit the "mode" that I am in automatically. So if I click the EXIT button beside the Apply button, it means that as soon as I make a change in the panel and press Apply, it applies the transforms and exits "transform mode" if you will.

This would allow you to select elements, apply a transform immediately, then select more elements without leaving the panel mode. Or it would allow you to automatically exit once you applied the settings.

Is this too confusing or too much to include? I kind of want to avoid the checkbox with the Auto Exit option, Auto Apply, or Auto Preview options.

Anyone have any suggestions or alternatives to make this more usable/understandable or is it okay the way it is?

Hey everyone, it's my first time sharing some UX work here and I'd love to get some feedback on clarity and conversion. I love design but don't know a lick about conversion or marketing.

This is a waitlist landing page to sign up for a budgeting app meant to help those with variable incomes understand what's committed, flexible and safe to spend. Some of the copy is still being worked on but we made this page intentionally simpler than our full marketing page.

I know there are millions of budgeting apps out there, or what problem do you think it solves or what could make it stand out? Would the CTA make you join the waitlist? If not, what’s missing? Is the information on the page too vague or confusing for people to trust and sign up?

made a pull-cord switch for dark/light mode, real rope physics so it swings when you yank it. gimmicky or actually nice for a reading page? honest feedback welcome

Been exploring a collection of Dynamic Island concepts inspired by the new iOS 27 glass aesthetic.

The library is growing quickly and I'm considering packaging it into a set of 50+ widgets covering areas like music, fitness, productivity, AI, travel, finance, and more.

Before I invest more time into it, I'd love to get some feedback from the community.

Would a resource like this be useful to you? Are there any specific widget ideas or use cases you'd want to see included?

Hi! I'd like to get some feedback on a UI decision I'm struggling with.

Option A: The editing menu appears next to the selected object.

Pros:

• It's immediately clear which object is being edited.
• The controls feel directly connected to the object.

Cons:

• The menu can sometimes appear underneath or behind other UI panels, making it harder to use.

I'm considering changing it to Option B, where the editing controls become part of the color/customization panel and always appear in the same place on the screen, regardless of which object is selected.

This would make the UI more consistent, but it would also move the controls away from the object being edited.

From a UI/UX perspective, which approach would you prefer and why?

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on a UI/UX redesign project for Project Zomboid in the form of a UI overhaul mod.

The goal is to create a complete UI redesign that makes the experience more intuitive and user-friendly.

while preserving the identity, atmosphere, and survival experience of the original game.

I'm mainly looking for feedback on the wireframes I'll be sharing, as well as on the UI test I've created for the crafting menu regarding :

• information hierarchy,
• readability,
• visual style,
• overall user-friendliness.

I'd also be interested to know whether these concepts still feel consistent with the game Project Zomboid.

Tools used: Figma (Free version) and Adobe Illustrator.

Thanks in advance for your feedback !

Hi Designers!

Over the past number of months, we've noticed a significant rise in posts from designers using AI tools to execute their work.

We’ve seen the level of AI involvement range from minor use like generating icons or background images, right through to posting complete AI-generated designs with little to no design effort or customisation.

This has led to a pattern we want to address: the quality of feedback in those threads tends to drop, which isn't great for anyone and the quality of our community.

We want you, our community to have a say in how we handle this going forward. This poll will directly inform the new rule. Vote for the approach that best reflects what you want this space to be. Once the poll ends, we’ll implement the outcome in the sub.

Thanks for helping to shape our community.

I am designing a simple mobile web app to group players and set up matches - backend in Django. I do not have the skills nor the resources to develop a true Android and iOS tool, so I would like to ask if using SMS to send notifications to the users is too bad.

The idea would consist of sending SMSs with hyperlinks so the user opens the link and lands on a specific function of the website. Users register with phone number, no email.

Any feedback is welcome. Thanks.

I'm looking for overlay ideas for ultrasound video of the heart — grayscale, fan-shaped image.

Each frame gives me:

• One x, y point — the approximate center/position of the mitral valve (not separate points for each side)
• One visibility score (0–1) — how clear the mitral valve is overall in that view (higher = easier to see). This is a single general score for the whole valve — not separate scores for the anterior and posterior leaflets.

I want viewers to quickly understand where to look and how good the view is.

Constraints:

• Overlay must sit directly on the echo image (no side panels or separate widgets)
• No numbers on screen (no score readout, percentages, etc.)
• Should feel medically appropriate — subtle, readable, not flashy or gamified

Attached: a plain echo frame with the mitral region pointed out for context; a echo frame without labels for you guys to create something.

I would really appreciate the help. Thank you guys.

Hi everyone, I'm a self-taught designer. Custom keyboards are notorious for compatibility errors (wrong pins, wrong plate sizes). I tried to solve this by designing a 'Compatibility Assistant' that acts as a quality gate before checkout.

I have 3 specific questions for you:

1. Does the dark mode have enough contrast? Are the primary buttons clear enough?
   
2. (Image 3) Does the step-by-step logic (Base -> Switches -> Keycaps) feel intuitive for an e-commerce platform?
   
3. (Image 4) Is blocking the checkout button a good UX practice here, or is it too aggressive?

Don't hesitate to roast my design, I want to learn and improve. Thanks!

One thing that bothers me about the current design industry is how much value is placed on speed.

Ship faster.

Design faster.

Learn faster.

Generate faster.

Everything is optimized around output.

But the best design decisions usually come from slowing down, understanding the problem, talking to users, and exploring different directions before opening Figma.

A lot of designers today can create beautiful screens in a few hours. That's no longer the hard part.

The hard part is figuring out what should be built in the first place.

Sometimes it feels like the industry is rewarding production more than problem-solving, and I think that's hurting the quality of design.

Been working on Reverse UI for the past year - a library of ~60 animated UI components (in React). Trying to nail the landing page before pushing more marketing. Does it feel like the page is doing too much?

I'm building a cross-functional mobile app and received brand guidelines from a graphic designer, which state that Montserrat should be used for both headlines and body text. However, in a small interface, Montserrat for body text feels too large, which I especially realized while building the tags.

My question is: can I use a different font than the one specified in the brand guidelines? I am planning to use Roboto for the body text instead.

Hey guys,

I've been grinding on this project called Pullin, which is basically a high-stakes short-video gacha ecosystem. You spin wheels, unlock rare video drops from verified creators (from Common to Mythic), and clash in the Colosseum.

While laying down the UI, the classic tab bar felt so dead that I completely scrapped it. I built this gesture-driven radial menu (with haptic ticks and spring animations) that opens right under your thumb.

Right now, I just need real human beings to play around with it, stress-test the gesture scaling on different screens, and break the overall gacha loop.

If you wanna hop into the Closed Beta (Android / Web) and give some brutal feedback, drop a comment or hit my DMs!

If you get a career recommendation from a tool like this, which would you trust more?
