Just found the ideal side table to casually leave my perfectly aligned set of two coffee mugs and vintage magazines. www.standardequipment.ca/product/3075...

Not really sure what happened in yesterday's episode of Severance, I was mostly focused on the Dieter Rams furniture.

New Thermomix! Noise and UI responsiveness were the biggest issues, so that looks promising. A bit sad they got rid of the physical dial. I’m going to wait for other colors, this one is too sci-fi. www.vorwerk.com/gb/en/thermo...

Love this new icon font, with variable weight, optical size and roundness typotheque.com/blog/zed-icons-for-communication-beyond-language (via @arun.is)

Fascinating read on how to design physical controls for cars. They're safer than touchscreens, more satisfying when done well, and budget brands already use them. Time to bring dials back!

As tax season approaches, a reminder that TurboTax comes with dark patterns and decades of lobbying against free tax filing. Consider alternatives like FreeTaxUSA instead.

Tesla sales plunged 63% in France in January. French people protest a lot, and usually for good reason.

I’d pay for a @figma.com feature that lets me refine a microcopy with AI, based on my app’s tone of voice, and good copywriting guidelines.

This icon weight mismatch in the new Gmail iOS app stresses me out a bit 😅

Seems like Garmin doesn’t test updates before deploying them to users. Also, a blue triangle, really? What about some guidance on how to fix the crash instead?

I thought Porsche started the full-width taillight trend (die Heckblende in German) with the 911 in the 70's. Turns out Dodge already had them in 1966.

I could totally see a follow-up to the Ioniq 5 that would maintain the square headlights and overall shape while dropping the details that already feel dated.

My lasagna experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly during its reheating phase in the microwave.

Love the mix of usability and minimal aesthetic in this German coffee machine. The right way to make an interface without a touchscreen: satisfying physical dial, simple navigation, colorful icons.

One thing is clear after the Meta announcements: big tech's commitment to social justice only lasted as long as the PR benefits outweighed the political costs.

Really like that you can change the weight of separators in Craft 👌

This infotainment UI for a French car gives me peak pre-iPhone vibes. If your goal is visual noise, the Christmas wrapping paper background is perfect – less so when you need to use the buttons while driving.

His fans: okay but the rockets will go to Mars one day!

I often think about Ratatouille 🐀 This movie has everything: an unlikely prodigy, a reflection on art and critics, childhood nostalgia, the joy of cooking, and the importance of food safety standards.

Been using Claude for a few weeks and its splitscreen UI with live preview is brilliant. Finally a chatbot that feels like an actual collaborating experience.

The ultimate argument: “A squircular plate, for instance, can hold more food than a circular one of the same horizontal dimensions, but eliminates the sharp edges of an otherwise optimal square.”

Nothing like waking up feeling completely refreshed only to have your watch hit you with a sleep score of 51/100.

Me telling my wife she can pick the paint color, and that yes we need the sport chrono package

The Mac OS Control Panel by Susan Kare is such a remarkable UI. It was designed in 1984 without any text labels and fits in only 315x158 pixels.

For those going home to visit family this weekend: • Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus • LG calls it TruMotion • Sony calls it Motionflow • Roku calls it Action Smoothing • Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement • Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.

Is there anything more open to interpretation than a red light in the eyes of a NYC driver?

Finally, I bought a precision batter dispenser, and before turning 40. My life is close to complete.

Me: stops listening for a while App: let me rewind a bit. Easily my favorite feature lately.

I keep thinking about the time a conservative-leaning friend told me he didn’t see the point of Don’t Look Up.

Currently writing a parenting book: Negotiating with 3-Year-Olds — Applied Bribery Techniques

Just tried the genAI playground on iOS, and I’m pretty sure the prompt was: “What if the dog from Up was human?”

I’m not an expert, but putting someone who thinks Russian media freedom is similar to ours in charge of national intelligence seems like a bad idea.

We didn’t win the popular vote, but we can be #1 on the App Store 🙃

Let’s see these new government officials… maybe it won’t be that bad. Oh. Okay, it 𝘪𝘴 that bad.

It’s that magical time of year again in NYC where old buildings set the heat to “broil” and we solve it by opening the windows.

@jonas.do would love to be added to the designers starter pack, if that’s a thing! 🙏

Hi #designsky 👋 I’m a French product designer living in NYC. I’ve worked at Apple, Sunrise (Calendar), and Microsoft, and now I’m leading design at height.app. I like pasta, croissants, design details, EVs, and living in a democracy where big corporations are regulated.

@gavin.social where is design Bluesky? Please send help 🛟
