New episode of UX Outpost is up!

We tested AI prompt styles and turned the output into a real Figma design system.

Prompting matters more than you think.

💡 Learn to work with AI, not fear it.

🚨 New UX Outpost episode just dropped!

This week, Nolan ran me through a usability test for his task management app and let’s just say… it didn’t survive unscathed 😬💥

Streaming app idea: Let couples sync shows across both profiles when watching together 📺

No more "which account has our show?" Just mark it "shared" and it appears in both Continue Watching lists.

Why isn't this a thing yet? 👫

Just discovered the "Ask Granola" feature and I'm obsessed! 🤩 Being able to search across ALL my meetings is an absolute game-changer.

Not sure when they added this (probably in last week's update) but it's exactly what I've been waiting for since day one! @meetgranola.bsky.social

I have to stare off into space to get good ideas.

I'm stoked for @figma.com Make!

But what I really want is a seamless loop between chat, prototype & design.

Make a change anywhere? Updates everywhere.

I'd like to see the full properties panel instead of the limited floating toolbars when selecting elements.

After 2 years as the solo designer at Feathr, I'm reflecting on our UI evolution from 2023 to 2025. Looking at these before/after screenshots is a powerful reminder of incremental progress.
