Weekly design work post! This past week at @RelevanceAI_ I designed the start screen for our slides product, going from a minimal text input to a rich drawer of options and parameters to set and tweak 🎨 Here's the before and after:

This week's DrawKit update focuses on the editor! I have a simple, bare-bones first version working, with a single test illustration, and it's very fun clicking around already 🥳 Full details of this week's updates here: www.drawkit.com/post/buildi...

I wish iPhones had an option to lock the screen. I'm tired of accidentally skipping podcasts/dismissing notifications/hanging up on someone/blasting the volume whenever I grab my phone out of my pocket. Here's a rough idea I came up with that could work.

Hahah exactly my dude, this setting doesn't exist in "display settings". You've hit the same problem I have with their chaotic organisation, and you're left with the question of what to search and how to find something

Really good advice I saw somewhere this week (sorry I can’t remember the original source!): Add Face ID unlock to any app that receives 2FA codes, eg Mail and iMessage. It’s an extra layer of security if someone manages to unlock your phone 🤓

Looks like Instagram have removed the option to “snooze” suggested posts, despite their support page saying it’s still there 😓 getting worse and worse

Currently making the settings modal on Milestones responsive, instead of the current bad mobile-only screen. This'll be much better! Should be finished in the next day or so Here's an in-progress shot – challenging getting a side-panel nav to work, but I think this works

I'm testing adjusting the button text here to see if it helps get more people to try this feature out – I have a hunch "import" and the arrow implies something laborious, whereas hopefully having this new label is clearer about what's happening and how simple it is 🤞

Also just removed the "open in new tab" functionality for all links to the database in case studies (eg: milestones.so/case-study/...). Don't know why I added that, I never like when websites randomly open new tabs for me 😅 Eg these:

Just added the ability to view database answers, and apply them to your business, on the homepage of milestones.so/ without needing to create an account – just click on a card, watch the video, & enter your URL 😄 Trying to remove barriers to seeing value right away 🤞

I'm looking at improving the questions asked to founders on milestones.so to make the platform as useful as possible. What would you find the most useful thing to ask hundreds of successful entrepreneurs? Here's my current list, would love feedback 🙏
