another little experiment. clicking my name pulses the image in the header. i extended the fragment shader on my header (github.com/akella/Disto...) to have a pulse effect that gets activated in time with a bounce animation

silly experiment i made after our brand designer made a sweet design & it was begging to be made interactive pipturner.co.uk/experiments/no-straight-line/

round 3: the world's oldest teenager 100 years later.. still skating.. still 14.. #goshbfdd @brokenfrontier.bsky.social

Round #2: Experimental Comic took some inspiration from @christophniemann.bsky.social #GoshBFDD @brokenfrontier.bsky.social

finally at home on a broken frontier drink and draw night again! using watercolour tonight :) Round 1: Just Another Summer #BFDD

this is so neat!

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

Thoughtfulness is not a bottleneck. It's the investment that makes everything else worth doing. AI is a multiplier on human intention, not a substitute for it. Believing that isn't a messaging position — it's a practice. design-is-the-work.figma.site?ref=uxdesign...

mini sketch for a lazy bank holiday (day 876)

Been collecting some of the most beautiful ones I’ve found here!

🚨 Cool project alert: Bloom, a React component that generates an SVG highlight with a hand-drawn aesthetic. ✨ github.com/yeunoia/bloom

🏹 we're on the hunt for another designer to join our lil design team at FitXR - come build a fitness product for people who hate working out 🥳 if you're happy with a lot of autonomy + some healthy chaos, pls apply! fitxr-1642768457.teamtailor.com/jobs/7718230...

CREATURE FEATURE IN 30 MINUTES www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifeE...

✨ I just released a new (free!) tool for creating custom Bézier curves! courses.joshwcomeau.com/tools/bezier It has one special feature that I haven’t seen anywhere else, and it allows us to do something pretty cool. 🧵

playing around with workout node state transitions at fitxr 🪄 made with @jitter.video :) #designsky #uxsky

There's never enough Bluesky analytics So I created one too as an experiment 😅😁 Started with a tool to find best time to post. Check it out → bluesky.notemation.com #buildinpublic

le guin puts out another banger

A cool consequence of basing page-flipping on detecting *any* relative motion is that it becomes more than a hand gesture - it's a full physical response! This means I can use *anything* to turn the pages, even by brushing the book against a stationary object. 🐧👄🐟🫗🔄️ #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

“Nineteen Eighty-Four” is an electrifying book that, since its release, has been co-opted by countless politicians, advertisers, and online contrarians. How can the book be so radical and yet so uncontentious? Why the hell does everyone think Orwell would agree with them? youtu.be/4cdowB9udPc

What do you think of our 2026 #SmallPressDay poster by the wonderful @pigeonface.bsky.social! We're so chuffed with this. :-)

ASCII animations deserve good packaging too #buildinpublic #indiehackers #ux

endless geese for your endless feed

youtu.be/JOfG6X3nFT0?... essential viewing for any XR/MR/VR dev or designer. so much good stuff in this talk

spent some time with @callipeg.bsky.social last night

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articl... happy 10th bday to an absolute banger of an app. shining light of what governments + public services should be striving to provide - simple, functional public good that has no hidden agenda

"In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and large language models. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich"

something i've been playing with over the last couple of weekends: a circle slider. similar to a dial, this allows you to turn circular motion into input, by dragging off of a ui element. #uxsky #designsky

tiny design tip for engineers that will massively level up your apps: stop using the defaults!!! spend 30 minutes picking out a font, some UI colours and preferences. suddenly your app will have character and personality and feel like it is yours

UI experiment with a slider inspired by lever mechanics. Built in SwiftUI.

@stephenhaney.com hey! i just started using paper today and it really seems like the real deal!! me + my design bud immediately fell in love with it as the perfect tool to help us design with ai - felt like the missing piece we've been waiting for

all three of my drawings from tonight's #GoshBFDD - they look so nice together!

#GoshBFDD Round #3: Was that normal? @brokenfrontier.bsky.social overthinking perception in a crowd

And our round 1 winner. #GoshBFDD

I’ve been having some fun exploring Earthsea lately.

survey.uxtools.co/spring-2026?... really interesting read - crazy to see the almost exact split into thirds around vibe coding + design.

The Garden of Earthly Delights (detail), by Hieronymus Bosch, 1480-1505, 📸 by @alexbrandon

Another experiment with a slider UI leveraging a lever. Like the previous one, pulling down increases value, while pulling up decreases it. It follows physics-based expectations: the slider indicator behaves like a liquid. #uidesign #ui #interactiondesign #slider #progress #microinteractions

funny how many webcam based hand tracking vibe-coded projects i've been seeing over the last couple of months! it's the early leap motion days all over again - just with even worse gorilla arm 🐵
