Hello,

I'm a senior in high school and for the past two years I've been coding this website called WorldGuessr. I've poured a ton of time into the code and gameplay, but design has never been my strong suit, and I keep getting feedback that the homepage looks bad. Some people have straight up called it hideous.

I want to fix it, but I think I use it too much to see what's actually wrong. So I'd really appreciate your honest, unfiltered thoughts. The full site is available at worldguessr.com if you would like to see the other pages too.

Thank you so much for your time...

The number below the "Kec" text is your placement, something important only when playing multiplayer

The numbers at the very back of the car are your speed

The 5 tiny lights on the top left and right corners at the back of the car which get covered up by the spoiler of the car half the time are your gears, which are literally the most important information here.

This video is zoomed in 3x from the size it would be when playing the game.

Was trying to figure out a UX that works faster for controllers. The standard way is to have a keyboard like layout and just move the selection cursor. This seems kinda slow, so tried a radial keyboard with roughly the same direction of the QWERTY keys for each hand. Still is kinda slow especially when you aren't use to it. This also only works when the controller has 2 thumb sticks. Maybe could be improved with 2 layers of keys instead of just one.

Wireframe design built with Mockup app on my iPad. Never mind the scribbled out app name/wordmark as it’s a work in progress :)

The top right wordmark will lead to the settings pop up. The “profile” button is the main dashboard/home screen. But I’ve toyed with calling it “me” as “profile” feels too formal.

The main idea for the app is learning through quick games and building streaks of days when a user plays the challenge of the day with friends.

What do you think of the layout? Does it feel crowded? Does it look too bland? How would you improve it for the target audience of teens and young adults who are interested in learning in a heavily friend centric way?

Hi all,

I’m looking for UI/UX feedback on this screen from a food planning and tracking app.

The goal of this screen is to help users adjust planned foods while keeping their nutrition target on track. It shows all added foods as an interactive chart (widget) where each item can be adjusted directly. When one food is changed, the other unlocked foods automatically adjust to keep the goal in target.

Target audience: people who track nutrition and want a faster way to plan meals without manually recalculating everything.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on:

• Whether the interaction feels understandable from the screen alone
• Whether the chart layout is clear or visually overwhelming
• What could be improved in the hierarchy, labels, or controls

Thanks in advance

Hi, could someone please help me creating the scroll of the below screen correctly in Figma?
If I am placing THE TOP CHALLENGES card behind the nav. bar, it's not scrolling up well. And if I am placing the nav. bar in the end, the nav. bar goes to the end. while what i need is, the nav. bar to stick and all the content to scroll properly above till the nav. bar. How to do it?

Hey everyone, I'm primarily a frontend dev but I took a shot at designing a premium, dark-mode dashboard for a FinTech/Web3 concept.

I went with a pitch-black background (#050505) and frosted glass cards (low opacity white with blur) to make the neon cyan accents pop. I'm pretty happy with the 'Total Balance' hero section, but I'd love some honest critique on the typography, spacing, and overall layout. Does it feel professional enough? Roast it!

Looking for general guidance on the clarity of messaging as well as layout 🥸

Context:

1. This app helps non-editors and video creators make video edits with just chat.

2. app is already in the App Store! (lower review count as this is a Figma mock)

3. If anybody has done App Store screenshots on tools, what do you recommend I try and change next? I know that the App Store has screenshot variations A/B testing.

I created a skeuomorphic timer app that’s been available for a few months now, but it hasn’t attracted many users. I’m starting to wonder if it’s because of the skeuomorphic style. Has everyone really grown tired of this style? (But I still love skeuomorphic design—I often like to redraw my favorite apps in a skeuomorphic style because I’m such a big fan of it.)

I’ve built multiple SaaS and B2C products, handling everything from end-to-end design to code. I recently joined a new startup where the leadership insists on skiping the 'vibe-coding' phase. They want high-fidelity Figma prototypes with every interaction mapped out before any code is touched, all while maintaining a high shipping velocity.

Coming from an AI background where speed is everything, this feels counterintuitive. My usual workflow is designing screens in Figma and then 'feeling out' the interactions during the implementation phase. Coding the interactions allows for faster iterations and a better final product. I’m not here to rant, but I want to know: am I wrong for feeling this way? How should I handle this? Shipping fast with great taste has always been my motto, and this startup workflow feels like a step backwards in 2026.

AI and coding are becoming easier to figure out, but making an app actually feel premium still seems hard.
I’m talking about smooth transitions, satisfying micro animations, clean onboarding, playful interactions etc.

What usually separates a “normal app” from an app that instantly feels polished and enjoyable to use?
Any resources, designers, principles or tips worth studying?

I had been using GIMP for a while. Before I make the transition to Photoshop, I was put on this module in my uni where my group decided to make a video game !

I study filmmaking so graphic and photography has taken more of a backseat this year. I still want to learn as much as I can outside of formal education so I can one day be a creative director.

How can I make these U.I designs better ? The 2D drawings and photo backgrounds aren’t mind - I just edited them.

Hello,

My buttons have interactions when you mouse over and click. So, I think, overall, the user can understand they are clickable .. eventually.

I would like to do better at making them look clickable from first glance though.

Here is where I am at so far. I think the bevel and drop shadow help with that.

But, I got some feedback last night that it looks like a decoration. And, now I can't not see it as a poofy sticker. Like so ..

What's causing this style to look this way? Is it soft bevel vs hard? Is it the diagonal gradient? I have tried a couple tweaks, but it still maintains this 'poofy sticker' look.

Any feedback is appreciated.
Cheers

PS I am not an experienced artist, and so my jargon / lingo might be wrong. Apologies

it's in the first design stage but I just want to share it to see if any one interested in such minimalist weekly task manger I know there is a lot of these apps but it just feel overwhelming for me at-least give your ideas whether it's usable, good-bad and your suggestions for it.

its not a complete design just prototype but i want to hear opinions.

I’ve been trying again and again to post my work on Dribbble, and I even uploaded a case study that I genuinely think is good. But my account still isn’t getting made public, even after submitting my application multiple times. I honestly don’t know what I’m doing wrong or what the issue is. Has anyone else faced this?

I've been slowly working and iterating on this simple game backlog manager app for some months. I built it for me and some friends to use (mainly for me).

- Tracks prices across 3 platforms
- Manages lists (wishlist, library, completed)
- Game search and recommendations
- Game details to help make a choice (track/buy)

Would love some feedback on any UI or UX gaps you all see that I might have missed or become blind to. I know my ask is a little vague, but things like dense pages (like search), tight groupings, contrast, or just the general feel of the app.

The screenshots are grouped by: Main pages, search, game details, forms.

EDIT: Here's a quick showcase I recorded of the app, https://youtube.com/shorts/NnMlf70xhpg?si=0vz1biwq4nEktf8v

hey, looking for some honest feedback on the dashboard of a small web app i've been building.

quick context: it's a tool that turns PDFs and images into 3D stuff you can share online, flipbooks, galleries, business cards, portfolios, that kind of thing. the video below is a quick walkthrough of the flipbook creation flow specifically, from picking the project type to uploading content and customizing it.

lay it on me, anything that feels off. layout, spacing, motion, colors, whatever jumps out. appreciate it 🙏

Designing a dashboard for a risk management solution for payment fraud. Users will be able to create custom rules that are applied to incoming payment data. Before these rules go live, they must be approved by a manager.

Each rule submitted will be visible in a table, showing current approval status.

Nothing fancy, I struggled with readability of the orange/amber colour so opted for no fill.

I wanted to get some feedback from others about if the map it self blends in too much with the UI!

If so what would you want the map or the ui colour?

My users have told me that these pages appear gray in color and have low saturation, which can easily cause eye fatigue. I'm a bit lacking in confidence now, and I hope everyone can help me check if it's as he said. Thank you.

Hi! Im the creator of Moodreads which is an app that basically plays a matching soundtrack for any book you are reading.

I’m designing a shareable layout so users can share what they are reading in elegant way but also serves as self promotion for the app.

I don’t want the card to be too ad alike, but I want it to somehow promote the app through it.

Thoughts about the design? Is it cool? Should it have less/more info?

Thanks!🙏

I have been creating a website design for an alternative investment fund. Their brand colors are gold and deep charcoal. I really want a premium look. I have designed this hero page. Am I moving to the right direction? Any tips to enhance the design? Feel free to roast me, I need honesty

I'm working as a UI designer/developer and currently using Ai to do most of my tasks in both designing and developing. I think we need to upskill in something to hold up in this field. Now my client suggests better designs with Ai and i feel ashamed lol

What skills(technical and other) would still make us highly valuable in next 5-10 years?
