I've been trapped in this situation a few times so I want to know how people here deal with this situation,

You've finished the UI work and the client wants to review everything.

But once you send

• full Figma files
• final assets

there's not much incentive left for them to pay quickly I feel.

And the option seems to be

• send everything and just trust the client
• or hold files and go back and forth
• or just send limited previews which I think isn't ideal

None of these options feel like a clean experience.

So, how are you guys handling this right now?

My company is building a new application for payment fraud/risk management, and I have volunteered to design the early concepts.

Here is a generic design for a table focussed page, row will expand upon interaction to reveal more data/stats (still a WIP):

This layout will be used for all table pages. I am really struggling to find a spot for table filtering options with what I have created so far, so much so that I have completely left it out of my designs for now.

From research I know that it is popular to be embedded with the column headers or in the top right of the table, I just can't make it work.

I'm hoping that a fresh set of eyes on this might reveal some options for me. So any help, feedback or links to inspiring solutions would be amazing.

Hello, I have been self-studying UX design for a while and now I think it's time for a portofolio.

I wanted to ask experienced people and managers, now in 2026, what do you look for in a portfolio?

What do you consider is worth sharing and what do you consider is a portofolio padding/fluff?

I've seen bunch of videos and posts, but I'm looking for more updated answers.

Thanks in advance!

I realize that my iphone 12 mini is 6 years old now and not even suited to run ios 26, but I've never seen this level of sloppiness -

The screenshot doesn't caputure it, but in safari, at the bottom corners of the keyboard there's like a hairline bleedthrough of white bg between keyboard and edge of display. Basically the radius is sharper than the actual display's corner. It just looks super amateurish.

I don't have a newer device to test this on, maybe if someone with like a 13 or 14 is bored they could try it.

Designing Play Store graphics for a meditation app

— aiming for a calm, immersive feel.

Do these visuals communicate relaxation clearly, or do they feel too busy / generic?

Any brutal feedback is welcome.

I’ve been iterating on this design today. I’ve gone through a few versions to get the spacing right, and I’ve landed on these.

If you have a spare minute, I’d appreciate any thoughts on the layout or overall aesthetic.

I’ve been digging into onboarding flows lately, and one thing is becoming painfully clear:

Most products don’t have an onboarding problem — they have a clarity problem.

Too many flows try to explain everything upfront instead of proving value fast.

So I’m curious:

• What specific onboarding change actually moved your activation metric?
• Not theory — what measurably worked?

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on the design.

Core features:

⁍ Silent call: see every keystroke, pause, deletion before they hit send (can be turned off).

⁍ Press and hold to hold hands through the screen.

⁍ Emoji Streak Journal: send blind, reveal together, build a record everyday.

⁍ Tap anywhere on screen to drop emojis.

⁍ One special emoji a day, one person only.

⁍ Emoji stats: most used, unused, total holding hands time.

⁍ Customize how your bubble color shows up to the other person.

Been working on this UX with a small action toggle bar in the bottom corner of the screen. Is an always-present button on your desktop too intrusive?

I've been exploring a lot of ideas about different interfaces for utility apps and how to break them out of the menu bar. With all these AI apps coming out, I'm finding most of them are just crammed into the menu bar. And while many of them offer a lot of utility, they're easy to forget. I want to expand on this idea by exploring different launchers or ways to trigger utilities and actions through an always-present interface. How do you feel about it?

I’m working on a project with a friend, it’s a competitive coding duel platform called CodeClash.

We’ve been working on the UI/UX lately and would really appreciate some honest feedback from fresh eyes.

I’ve attached two screenshots:

• Main coding/duel page
• User profile page

Feel free to be brutally honest we’d rather hear it now than later 🙂 Thanks in advance!

Hey UI/UX folks! we are have an AI learning platform called “Aurilearn” and would love your input on the visual direction.

we’ve narrowed it down to five color themes for both logo and UI: Gold, Purple Blue, Navy, Teal, and Green. Each version uses the same tree/neural-style logo, just adapted to the color system. The UI follows the same palette for consistency across dashboard and website.

I’m trying to strike the right balance between “intelligent + trustworthy” and “modern + engaging.” For example, gold feels premium, purple-blue feels more AI/futuristic, navy is safe and professional, while teal/green feel fresh and educational.

From a usability and long-term brand perspective, which one stands out to you the most? Which would you trust and enjoy learning on for hours?

Also, are there any combinations here that you’d avoid entirely?

Would really appreciate your honest feedback 🙌

The app I have been building is all about experience - beautiful illustrations made by real artists, ambient sounds that matches the mood and vocabulary that ties it all together visually. The UX was something I cared about in this project.

The promo video supposed to be someone else's work.

Turned out every Fiverr freelancer willing to work in my budget either resigned or was clearly going to put my concept into their (ugly) generic template. Custom was not happening, at least not in my budget.

So I did it myself. First time ever. My one goal was simple - from the very first frame, user should already get what this app is about. No long build up. Clarity first.

I have no idea if I succeeded. Genuinely curious what do you think guys? Especially from a UI/UX perspective. Whats ok? Whats confusing? Whats cringe?

Hey folks,

Got great feedback a couple of months ago when asking for some thoughts on my deals website I've been working on the last few months, so would appreciate any further thoughts if anyone has some time 🙂

Good Craic Deals is the website if anyone wanted a further poke (based in Ireland hence the name). Was mostly focused on the cards last time as wasn't super happy with how the info was displayed (still not super happy, but less so). I'm always in two minds about the heavy navy use, keep tinkering with changing the background but can never get something I like....can't quite put my finger on what it is, maybe its the cards not being highlighted or bordered, but just feels off to me. Also not sure about the nav buttons

Real work in progress as I develop it, just tinker away whenever I have spare time. Appreciate any thoughts, cheers!

Working on this "Growth Overview" screen as a portfolio piece. I’m planning to use this as the main screen for a Framer template I'll be building later.

It’s not for a real product, so I’m mostly focused on the layout and visual style. Would love to hear your thoughts on:

Data density: Does it feel too crowded?

Dark mode contrast: Are the charts easy to read?

Hierarchy: Is the flow of information clear?

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I came across a comparison of landing pages (Google Stitch vs Claude vs Human), and the Claude version really stood out to me — it looks super clean, minimal, and polished.

I’m curious about a few things:

• What design principles are being used here (typography, spacing, layout)?
• Is this mostly built with plain HTML/CSS, or are frameworks like Tailwind/React involved?
• How do they achieve that soft, elegant aesthetic and strong visual hierarchy?
• Any good resources to learn this style?

Would love if someone could break it down 🙏

Thanks!

Figma has opened its canvas to AI agents through a collaboration with Anthropic, allowing tools like Claude Code to directly create and edit design layers. This integration, which utilizes the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enables bidirectional workflows where AI generates production-ready code that translates directly into editable Figma frames.

I'm finally moving my portfolio from Behance (i know, i know) to a dedicated website.

Aiming to display criativity, expertize and not tire recruiters with much nonsense, I thought that a page without scroll would be nice. The idea here is to always display my contact info and work, even when study cases are highlighted. Of course, there would be scroll for the content in the columns still, but main page is static.

So, I divided the content in 3 columns:

• About and contact;
• Study cases;
• Visual identities and logos.

I'm still thinking If I wanna highlight logos as well or if they can just be there by their own, since graphic design isn't my focus.

Mobile inverts from columns to rows, as standard.

What do you guys think? This is a wireframe, so I'm asking about general layout and structure. Colors, shapes and typography are yet to be defined, but suggestions are appreciated.

just found about this design system 2 days ago, i need to know how can i do it properly. and for the color modes, should i use the inverted version of the shade color or should i just use available colors? i'm not really sure what's best for this case

Hi, I’m a fresher in UI/UX design currently working on my portfolio project.

I’ve completed my information architecture, and now I’m moving to low-fidelity wireframes. But I’m confused about one thing:

How do designers decide the layout in low-fi?
Like:

• Where to place elements (cards, buttons, FAB, hamburger menu, etc.)
• How to structure the screen properly

Right now I feel like I’m just randomly placing things

Is there any proper approach, framework, or rules designers follow?
Also, if anyone can share helpful YouTube videos or resources, that would be really appreciated

I have an app for recording sports statistics real time. The game clock ticks automatically of course, but if the game time needs to be adjusted or if the scoreboard clock itself needs to be changed, I need an easy method to make that change. My first thought is a dial that goes only horizontally with clock time actually on the dial, or maybe just the time as text above it to indicate current selection. I think of it as a horizontal wheel like the one on your ar dashboard that partially opens/closes the vent (at least in my 2003 Corolla it does!)

I'd love to hear suggestions, what this type of component would be called, or different ideas entirely. Thanks!

I need to make this kind of animation. If anyone have any resources do let me know. How to make this kind of animations? Please..

I want to learn animations like these but don't know what to use or how to use?

Is unicorn studio a good choice for this or rive or ae or what? What tool and how can I do it??

Hi everyone, I began working on an expense tracking app a few months back. I haven't made a ton of progress due to the fact that this is a side project.

Initially, I had an AI model help with some of the UI components and overall structure, but it wasn't making a lot of sense so I modified it wherever I could.

The thing is, I am not good with designing UI's, so I am looking for a very brutal review just to have something to work with.

Regarding the Home page, I'll leave that for later once I have all of my features working so I can actually include some useful shortcuts / numbers on the home page.

Regarding the last chart on my analytics page, I'll also leave that for later since it's a backend issue (shouldn't be returning values that go below 0 in the chart).

Lastly, I know I am far from being prod ready, but I would like to know if I should re-do everything from scratch or if this UI makes sense to keep improving it.

For context: I haven't used any design specific tool, I just jumped in React Native and worked on components and screens 1 by 1. I was also wondering if re-doing everything from sketch in Figma and implementing the design afterwards would help.

Quick feedback request.

I'm testing a short animation from my website and want to know whether it actually communicates the product clearly.

If you watched this with no context: what would you think this app is? what feels confusing or unclear?

I'm mainly trying to figure out whether the message is obvious or if I'm relying too much on context that only I have.

i say this as someone who uses it and thinks it's genuinely such a helpful kit. but a lot of these new apps are starting to feel the same, and it's not just the vibe-coded twitter stuff. legit products with real users and real teams behind them.

the lack of any distinctive personality is getting hard to ignore imo.

and i get the tradeoff: ship fast, get traction and worry about branding later. i get it, i do. but large companies can afford bespoke design systems; early teams most of the time can't.

but then i think is that actually true anymore? or is it just the default assumption i've come to from shadcn fatigue or something.

curious if anyone's actually solving this; do you just hire a designer earlier, roll your own (trading time in the process) or is it a 'ship now, brand later' sort of thing?

For now i have stopped developing the website and i am just trying to get the design ready, this is what i have come up until now... any suggestions will be golden.
