This covers all use cases—open sharing, selective sharing, or high privacy—without forcing users to micromanage every new contact. WhatsApp, take notes! Telegram’s had this figured out for years. #UXDesign #WhatsApp #Telegram #Privacy

Agustinus Nathaniel @agustinusnathaniel.com · 18/09/2025

Telegram nails it with a flexible, user-first design. It lets you: 1. Share with everyone, but add exceptions for who’s blocked. 2. Share only with contacts, with options to block specific people or always allow others. 3. Hide from everyone, but allow select trusted contacts.

Agustinus Nathaniel @agustinusnathaniel.com · 18/09/2025

[UX Critic] WhatsApp privacy controls for profile pictures are outdated and clunky. Defaulting to a “block list” (selecting who can’t see your picture) is risky—if you add a new contact and forget to update the list, they’ll see it by default. This approach feels backward.

@tanstack.com Router is awesome. Just tried it out with small app experiment. - First class search params handling (no need nuqs etc) - end to end type safety (routes, loaders, search params, etc) - Data fetching: has built in loader and first class support with react-query (obviously)
