Thanks for your comment. Yeah, I posted it mainly because I liked the artistic side of it - the landing itself is quite complicated (a lot of interactions), but I really enjoyed the creativity.

I'm also diagnosed with ADHD. Unfortunately, there are no ADHD meds available in my country at all. :(

I'm not exactly sure what ADHD feels like for me, but there’s one thing I’ve noticed. I used to take methylphenidate, but the effect was pretty small. In order to get it, I had to fly to another country, which was expensive. So I eventually gave up on that idea.

Now it’s been a year without stimulants, and I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence or not, but for the first time in my life I’ve ended up in debt, with almost zero productivity, no finished projects, and so on.

It doesn’t matter whether I sleep well or not — over the past 12 months I’ve had different conditions (good sleep, bad sleep, good diet, bad diet, etc.), but overall, my focus has stayed close to zero.

By the way, I’ve never tried nicotine patches. I’m pretty sure I won’t find them here, but at least I can probably order them.

That's funny that I found the link to my newsletter in this article that says:

"Even though this is a newsletter about user interface design, Viktor starts off by talking about the weather in Armenia and his vacation."

Want to run a successful (I exaggerate) newsletter about UI/UX? Start off by talking about the weather in Armenia :)

- Looking at modals on mobile is the nail in the coffin. Due to the screen size it must take up the entire screen. What is the difference between that and "navigating to a new page" in the mobile UI metaphor?

That's a nice quote from the article

I wonder, why they cannot just check your card, instead of charging $1?

It's not much and I'm ready to pay if it helps fighting bots.

But at the same time I noticed that before Elon took over Twitter, there were less bots (or it at least seemed so).

Will it help - that's the question

Interesting.

Some people report that they have very nice results. Some people report that they feel nothing.

I'm right now in the process of testing it, will see how it goes.

The only problem with learning new stuff is that learning != having experience.

E.g., she can learn react, make a to-do app, but it's not a real commercial experience, and in most cases it won't be counted.

However, I agree with you.

The problem is that she needs money right now, due to mortgage and stuff, I would maybe learn something additional like a backend framework, so that she can say "I'm good at Vue, have experience, but I also know next.js, made my own pet project with it"

something like that

It might also depend on the salary. E.g. in Russia there are quite a lot of positions, but the salary rate is poor.

I would say "if you want to get a decent salary, then keep on searching". Or just a get bad position/salary.

That's pretty much an opinionated, quick test. Don't take it too seriously. Even though some questions should be decent, I hope

I play in incognito mode, and I barely watch my rating. I mean, I know that "I'm somewhere in 1750" or "1850", but I'm not trying to get high rating.

I just play when I eat and I don't care THAT much.

The thing is that if I'm in a bad mood (I take antidepressants so to speak), then I don't focus, don't care much, blunt a lot and so on.

But there are periods when I'm in good mood (hopefully I don't have bipolar disorder), and I'm still eating and playing in the same manner except that I focus more and tell myself that I'll destroy the opponent

Oh thanks. I made the discount more to decrease the price, holidays is a nice day, but later on I think I'll reduce it much, since there are tons of books about this topic and it's overpriced.

I'm going to switch to something... like an interactive platform, something big, in the next year, so that it's both decent and has a good price

I know it's overpriced, people told me so.

So I decided to drop the price by 50% for Christmas, and then I think I'll keep it at least at this level or make it even cheaper.

It's not a sacred knowledge, just some material that I gathered for the past year.

The sacred knowledge, something really cool, I want to make the next year, but I need to afford it. Working FT job and making an interactive course at the same time is way too hard
