I tried fully deleting my Facebook account multiple times about 5 years ago. Each time, it became clear that my information was never leaving. Friends were still able to pull up my account. My credentials were still being recognized and allowing me to login to an account I was told was now nonexistent.
Now I see my phone number was part of the breach. I am so fed up with Facebook.
Whats your development environment & workflow like? I've been considering making the switch.

Designer here. Author makes some decent points, but misses the mark elsewhere. The post reads like a "developers idea of basic design tips."
- This post only touches on visual design. Important, but just a subset of what "design" is.
- Dribbble is very "artsy" and not typically as focused on practical product design. I personally dont think its beneficial to spend time there, unless like the author states, you're interested in emerging visual trends.
- The author doesnt mention the foundations of design, which is disappointing. Spacing, alignment, visual hierarchy. affordances, etc. If you're building an app without a designer its far more important to understand those concepts than how to design a logo.
My advice, depending on how much time you're willing to invest:
- Read "Dont Make me Think" by Steve Krug (2.5~ hour read)
- Read the first half-ish of "The design of everyday things" (4 hours?)
- You may balk at the length of those reads, but I promise you, spending one day to learn design fundamentals is an extremely valuable use of your time.
Common mistakes I see developers making:
- No attention to spacing consistency
- Not creating enough space between unrelated elements
- Not aligning enough things
- Weak visual hierarchy
- Misusing radios vs. checkboxes vs. dropdowns, etc
You're right. My mistake
$60/yr is nothing for a company thats more than one person.

A part of me wonders if this is a calculated marketing move for next years prime day. "Hey remember last year when $13k cameras were priced for $100? Lets see if that happens this year!"
If this is the case, why would spotify not just outright say that? It seems it would calm a lot of the backlash, and artists would be more understanding.
I was part of that unrealistic, brainwashed, tribalist community for many years. Except not for apple. For PC. I switched over to a mbp this past year after having used countless different PC laptops over the past ten years, and my god, my mbp just feels so much better than my previous laptops in so many ways. Yes there are shortcomings, but the overall user experience is nothing to gloss over.
Can someone help me understand how Libra or other cryptos for that matter can actually be used? Who will accept the coin as a form of payment? Can these ever be used to buy essentials (food, clothes, shelter)? It doesn't seem so at the moment, and until then, I find it hard to imagine businesses or individuals would be happy to accept Libra as a form of payment.
I'm a UI designer titzer, do you hate me?
