I am not surprised by this. I am sure Lyft is just among a list of threats to Uber and we are only seeing a small part of that strategy. Its ethically not good but I think it would be wrong to say that we penalized many other companies that

I have to agree that Wikipedia is not a good target for a redesign. Also, I don't think its on every designer's bucket list. But, Its fair to assume that a lot of people select Wikipedia specifically because it has such an uncommo

This feels unnecessary. Everyone gets it: you can't actually redesign a website with a few random mock-ups and visual updates. That so often is not the point of an unsolicited redesign. Most of these people are young designers looking

I am not here to say that web designers should create PSDs and just throw them over the fence. But, I don't think most web designers really agree with this. I think this philosophy really tries to downplay visual style to practical pro

Isn't this just subtle confirmation bias? The favorite is basically the old logo with some things pushed around. Show someone 30 logos , they will subconsciously like the one that triggers a familiar pattern.

"Chrome Inspector is nice and all, but Firebug is clearly superior. I no longer recall why I hold this opinion. I'm looking forward to finding out." For some reason, I also think this exact thing.I also know other people who

I think the point remains though. The average consumer doesn't know the difference between a "major" airline and a "regional" one and shouldn't need to. Their safety record is just as applicable. Its not as if

To be fair, the post is titled "My start-up is Microsoft-based..." not "Here's why your start-up should be..." I feel like he just wanted to make a fair case that Microsoft isn't impossible to deploy as a viabl

Overall, the core of flat UI which is : solid shapes, contours and hierarchy are good elements to have. But, its an extreme. Gradients, shadows, highlights,etc... give UI elements dimension and help them to occupy space, there has to be som

I kinda agree, it makes some sense. Its easy in an office environment to forget about remote employees even if they do a lot of work. Out of sight , out of mind is quite real. It seems to matter less if you don't have a strong team dynamic;

Seems like another similar system to Jekyll, et al. I don't think many heavily technical people understand how alienating this kind of approach is to the average user. Wordpress is popular because its understandable, installation is done in

This whole argument is starting to feel really old. Neither "flat design" or skeumorphism is necessarily the right path. They are both great techniques which can solve different problems. Gradients and texture bring dimensionality and perso

It looks better, but I suspect that the usability would suffer. The data is almost never as clean as it looks in the mock-up, especially with the large segmentation of categories on Instacart, not to mention the lack of consistent size, col

I imagine this is not meant for UI Designers. The layout creation process feels impractical and the drag and drop with the side menu to add internal elements is a bit confusing. Overall, its got some cool ideas. I like the export to Node.js
