Hey people that have created own productivity, money management, todo list, project planners, habit trackers and whatnot... What is the exact reason that pushed you to do this? Why you didn't find it simpler to use an Excel table, or Google docs, or Notion, or one of the many todo/project apps??

This one of the most beautiful, carefully crafted and most importantly smooth website I've seen recently. The presentation, the motion, the texture, everything is top notch. Just wow, kudos to the team that created this beauty. brewdistrict24.com/en

The hardest part in frontend engineering is knowing when to cut off. UIs are hard, CSS is powerful but merciless. For practical results it's best to stick to the simplest functional solution, but for beautiful craft you must spend hours figuring out small tweaks even with the power AI.

Calling Astro components "components" is confusing because components they are not. They are pieces of global html pages split into multiple files.

Lets talk about digital human brain. What we need today is one place to store all of our data in one place. Notes, tasks, views history, posts, results, literally everything. Ideally, all the data from different apps must synchronize with it live.

I wonder if all this tinkering with Agents workflow is a waste of time, since big tech can just pick the "best" practices and ship them built-in. What's your thoughts? Is it worth to spend time and energy or is it worse than the good old "15th framework" rat race?

There's a lot of UI/UX course about technical aspects, like using Figma or general fundamentals like hierarchy, alignment, spacing, repetition, etc. But are there any good courses that teach how to make beautiful UIs?

To better understand how UI designers work, I'm learning how to build a Design System in Figma from scratch. I'm building everything manually, step-by-step, the raw values, tokens, components variants etc. But I'm wondering what is the industry standard workflow nowadays?

While people are afraid of AI getting out of hand and become the next Skynet, I'm afraid of text 100% written by AI and spammed around, including text about the supposed doomsday. Can't you write yourself? Can you think? Can you layout your thoughts?

Companies review websites should do a better job at distinguishing companies with the same name. You think you're reading negative reviews for the company of your interest, while in reality it's a completely different company in a different industry.

All you need to workout consistently is a pen and paper. Draw a table by hand, columns are days, rows are a few categories of your choice, e.g. "Pull-ups", "Mobility". Every day you write down the number of reps and sets or exercises you've done -- "Pull-ups: 10x3", "Mobility: hips".

Before AI there was FOMO and feeling of being behind and slow. Am I learning fast enough? Am I building fast enough? With AI it's much worse. You can spend 1 hour learning a "simple" topic knowing that AI could output it in 5 minutes. I chose being slow.

"Before we get into..." I would very much like to see less long intros whether it's a book, a blog or a course. It's boring and delays me from getting what I want. Intros are important, but their info makes more sense after you know the subject better, not before it.

App stores are flooded with all kinds of simple consumer apps. But what if it's not what users want? Do you really think people want to choose between 100 tracking apps? Would they prefer a solid and secure core app that can be customized instantly with AI, without maintenance costs?

Many years ago I've built some custom email html layouts and styles. It's a nightmare. Use a builder. Also, consider this: 1. Email should be simple. 2. Its HMTL has constrains, don't fight them. 3. If you want something fancy, just use an image.

The cool thing about building with AI is that it can answer any question: find examples, suggest solutions, do infinite and fast research. The bad thing about building with AI is that it can answer any question: before you were at your own, limited on the amount of research you could physically do.

If frontend frameworks would disappear tomorrow, the principles and patterns they are based on will persist: 1. Reactivity 2. Composition with components and colocation 3. Single Responsibility Principle 4. Event driven architecture 5. Declarative coding I think those are hard to ignore.
