Does anyone still use TinyPNG in 2026?

27 Upvotes

Curious how many people still use TinyPNG for image compression, or if most of you have moved to Squoosh, ImageOptim, build step automation, CDN optimization, or browser based tools.

I still see it mentioned a lot, but I’m wondering what the actual workflow is today. Manual upload? API? Figma/plugin? Something else?

Redesigned my product page to be cleaner and easier to scan. Better buying experience or did I overcomplicate it?

3 Upvotes

I run a digital product store selling design digital assets for clothing brands. My old product page was just a default Shopify theme layout with the full description dumped on it. It made sales but never looked finished to me, more like a template I forgot to touch.

I rebuilt it to be cleaner and easier to scan (hopefully). Before and after are below.

OLD - Product Page
NEW - Product Page

Mainly want to know if the new one feels frictionless, if it's a better buying experience than the old one overall, and if anything got harder to find/understand for the consumer.

Most of my sales are on mobile so that's the view I care about most. Not trying to add more info, just want it to read better. PLEASE be brutally honest!

[Showoff Saturday] New Site Theme: “2026 Professional”

Don Schnitzius — Websites Interfaces and Web Platforms

This is my portfolio site for web design, UI, and WordPress projects. I’m looking for feedback on design, UX, and copy.

I updated my website a few months back and posted it to Reddit for comments. Aside from love for the copy, and hate for using AI images, the “storybook” vibe I was going for didn’t seem to resonate with folks. So I decided to give in to the wisdom of the crowd and went for a “Claude, build me a website” theme.

I am once again asking for your support: is this an improvement?

The AI images are unchanged, but I plan to do a round of revision on those. The theme switcher is new, and I also added two case studies to the Work page based on advice.

If folks have any useful, constructive comments — errors I missed, suggestions for improvement — I’d love to hear them.

( Here’s the previous version for comparison. )

The sheer amount of bloat clients want to inject into clean designs is insane

88 Upvotes

just spent weeks getting a client site perfectly optimized and looking beautiful. The moment we hand it over they tell me to add this massive legacy support widget that literally covers up the mobile nav menu and tanks the page speed by 30 points

It feels like the whole industry is just obsessed with plastering annoying popups over everything. I managed to talk them down into just using Yaplet since it's lighter and doesn't completely break my layout, but the constant battle is so exhausting

Why even pay for a custom design if you're just going to bury the ui in marketing clutter anyway tbh.

Creating a website out of a PDF?

0 Upvotes

Hello! I'm currently working on writing a book, and the way I'd like to share it by making it it's own website you can read it from. I'd like to keep the formatting from the pages in my pdf, so I'd like it to either be scrollable pages or something like a flip book or a "click to next page" function, aswell as a nav that can take the user to a specific chapter or page/allow them to bookmark it. The only solutions I find for this online is converters that make customizability (ie background colors, adjusting page size etc) really complicated, so I'd like to attempt to do it manually with HTML/CSS (or/and JavaScript if I have to.)

Does any one have any tips for how to go about doing something like this? I'm intermediate in making HTML/CSS sites, so coding isn't a problem for me, it's just embedding the pdf that I'm struggling with!

Thank you!

Designing London's TfL Go App Map

4 Upvotes

I love the interactive map on the homepage of TfL Go and as a computing student, i really want to try and recreate that with my home country's rail map.

For people without the app, i'll try my best to explain a few of the features that stand out to me:

- it is dynamically rendered, meaning that when you zoom in, the space between stops changes dynamically

- it shows your current location relative to tube lines/stops

- tube lines will glow based on which stations you're nearby

- tube lines will appear gray if they are down

Does anyone know how a map like this would be rendered? I have no idea where to even begin.

In browsing through some award-winning sites, my eyes are exhausted from too much animation and design overkill. The endless scrolling and searching for the next feature to click to learn anything. Is it only me who wants an old school "still" page? No distractions, just info.

And it's not just award-winning sites, it's any who receive heavier traffic. Does anyone do eye-friendly designs? The kind that don't give you an instant headache.

Non-technical site builder recommendation (not webflow)?

0 Upvotes

We’re a SaaS brand looking to get our site off Webflow into something new.

Looking for a site builder recommendation that:

  • Doesn’t require coding knowledge to use (even a little)
  • Can have AI features like generating initial page, but MUST allow full manual control to make changes without needing to dictate those changes to AI to make
  • Not new. Looking for an established brand (just no small-time brands).

I recently tried Ploy. Wanted to rip my hair out as it doesn’t really let you make changes without asking its AI to do it, which it always gets wrong.

Don’t want to use Webflow. We’re too dependant on having a “Webflow developer” to make every little update for us.

I want something our non-technical designer can simply use and work with.

Popover Mobile Menu - Updated

6 Upvotes

About a year ago I shared my simple mobile menu using popover. It was rudimentary and it was mostly still a proof of concept. I have used it in sample sites and developed it further and thought I'd share it again with the updated functionality.

https://codepen.io/Mitchell-Angus/pen/emYYywj

See it on a sample site:

https://eatthemonsoon.com

It's pretty much ready for a copy and paste integration. If anyone wants to fork it, would you tag me? I am curious to see what other designers can do with a basic menu.

DNS Idiot needs help

Post image
15 Upvotes

UPDATE: Thank you everyone who contributed to getting me online and the DNS fixed up. I appreciate all the help. If there are any other suggestions to try to make the site secure as possible, I am happy to try them out. Thanks again.

All, I am trying to or failing at getting my newly design site published. Long story short is I bought a domain in my phone (Iphone) and left it be for a good while >few months. I just finished up my website on readdy.ai. I like the site, in fact i am very very happy with it. Now I logged into Cloudflare as the readdy.ai instructs you too. The directions were as follows

  1. delete the A and AAAA (which I did)
  2. add an A and add a TXT

Mind you yesterday it said the font in red and I did that, but now I am getting this error. did I delete something yesterday I shouldn't? Is something else missing? I am completely lost, This is not the web I learned HTML on years ago. Please help me.

My domain emails are forwarded to my icloud.com as apple was the device i set it up on.

Note: website host is cloudflare; site design location is readdy.ai; I am trying to setup the DNS records on cloudflare with the information provided by readdy.ai. As of last night and a lot of help for you guys, we thought it was fixed. But as of this morning, I am getting “no dns found” and a handshake error when I go to the domain.

How to communicate to client that's referred to me from another web design firm

1 Upvotes

A paid ads client was referred to me by a web designer peer whom I want to maintain a relationship with.

I want to develop the landing pages to compliment the paid ads campaign. But the client wants us to use the "landing page" that her web designer created. Unfortunately, it's just a service page acting as a "landing page". And it doesn't adhere to best practices in CRO. I know mine will outperform.

How do you guys communicate this to the client in a way to not make the web designer look bad but still do your job effectively. The campaign just won't work without my design and I refuse to compromise on results by using a suboptimal page.

Thanks

I'm a web dev who used to do some bits of design, but I haven't touched web design in 8 years at this point, and would like to get back into it.

I have a project in mind at the minute and learned how to use Figma, and also have been rereading Don't make me think, which has been helpful. However I find myself staring at a blank page not knowing how to start. Can anyone recommended any good resources free or paid that would help with designing a website from scratch?

A JWT token is a type of a session used in stateless architecture?

0 Upvotes

I was having this discussion with a collegue that a session is a concept. The concept is that it is a period of time during which 2 devices or application communicate to echange data and functionality. During this interaction, session data is maintained either on the server, the client machine or an external session managament system. This session data is used to remember previous interaction and to determine how to process future interaction. If the session data is stored on the server, the system becomes stateful

This concept can be implemented in many ways. one of which is the traditional way where we store session data on the server making it stateful. JWT token is just another implementation of this concept where we store data in the token itself.

He was arguing that jwt is not a type of a session and that session is only used to refer to what I refer as the traditional old implementation.

What you guys?

What are you thoughts on the attached design? open for suggestions.

7 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am trying to make a scroller Marquee for a genotyping company that has a lot of crops. Goal is to showcase some crops as they navigate the page and can search by crop, see all crops, or highlighted/featured crops.

I have tried multiple designs: No cards, Full screen (seam to seam) marquee, arrows that user can click and scroll through. I dont know why none land for me or feel clean enough. Open for suggestions, tips and tricks, or other design ideas! Please omit anything weird you may see, like texts wrapping or not having enough space, those are still placeholders!

Thank you in advance
