Posted to Are design articles ruining your product?, in reply to Dirk HCM van Boxtel , Sep 26, 2020 Posted to Superhuman Website Review: How not to design a website, in reply to Lauren Holliday , Sep 26, 2020 I'm curious what the underlying goal of your blog post is. If it is to get the attention of these companies so that they might hire you some day, the tone seems quite harsh. The review was pretty hard to get through, and not because the website is meh.
Posted to What font size works best for the website header?, in reply to Parker Hutchinson , Feb 05, 2019 Current version is great! I'd avoid white text on yellow backgrounds. This design fails all contrast checks! https://contrastchecker.com/

Posted to Checkboxes Are Never Round, Aug 14, 2017 Hey Dan. Just saw this link is down. Curious if you had a change of heart based on the current state of UI?
If so, I'd love to hear what changed your mind!

Posted to prm.ooo, May 12, 2017 Hmm. I'm super confused by what's happening here. Looks classy as fuck. Just dunno how to see what promo even is or what it does.
