Looking for freelance designers to occasionally help me with my projects. Anyone else do that? What are your tips for finding a designer and when to use them.

I'm not sure if you're aware of shadcn/ui and Aceternity UI. These two just made my day. The components are easy to use, beautiful to look at, and completely free. I'm very new to frontend dev, and still I've been able to create a pretty good portfolio page using provided components very similar ...

Does anyone have any suggestions of ways to level up my design and UX skills?

How do you find new ideas? Where do you keep track of them? How do you decide what to work on and what to shelve? Really excited to hear people's workflows and stories.

I was thinking about the Idea because you see "build in public" projects do very well. But they are all about building online, right? I am about to acquire a piece of land in the mountains, and my goal is to build a nice hideaway, cabin/tiny house style. Would you follow this journey? All from ...

I'm running a open source 3dicon library 3dicons.co #3dicons For the past three years, I've been paying around $50-$60 per month for bandwidth and hosting on DigitalOcean. However, I noticed a sudden increase in my billing costs, with last month's bill rising to $125, and this month, it's alread...

Recently I really struggle. I usually have only 45-60minutes of the free time for working on anything side-project related. It’s hard with doing activities with family and wife (I don’t have kids). Usually I start solving problems and then I need to switch to doing something else.  It’s super har...

I am currently building your tool, and turns out my small tool could actually be a full-blown product.  To give you a bit of a backstory and for you to understand what the product does when I design websites because I'm not an expert designer I like to take screenshots of other websites so that ...

I'm hesitant to go straight to AI with this, so reaching out to my network... I'd like to make some brand (including logo) updates to #railsmarket and I could use some recommendations on how you'd proceed with this. Going to end up doing a site redesign after this, but want to start with brandi...

Title says it all, but we've got CS college, Graphic design college, online courses, tutors, learning on the job, boot camps. And these all have tradeoffs and timelines. How would you respond if someone asked you the best way to learn how to design and build web applications?

I'm working on something that might benefit more people than just me. I have a few questions: • How do you structure your dotfiles? • What kinds of settings do you keep in them? • How do you learn about settings or options you can add to them? • What applications do you include? • How do you bac...

Hi! What's everyone using these days for creating custom html email newsletters? If you're sending a newsletter that goes beyond the standard text or drag and drop layouts offered on EDMs, would you mind sharing your set up?  I'm trying to figure out how I'll create my process to make it sustain...

I'm working on NameIgniter.com, a domain name suggestion tool. While it functions well, the design is unattractive. This is probably a question more for developers than designers: Do you have any tips on designing websites that look good? I love minimalist websites, but mine feels both minimalist...

When you visite a website before or after an interaction, where do you leave your cursor? Me, it's on the right in the middle of my screen and you?

I’m creating an annual report that documents real-life, current statistics on service providers’ websites to create an accessible reference tool for people who want to build their business off social media. For this, I’m defining service providers as freelancers (like web devs, designers, writer...

Hey, if you can only choose one, DaisyUI or Flowbite? And why? Also, if I use both in, will it make my page heavy or does the library only include classes I actually use? My underlying framework is AstroJS.

Quite often it's challenging to find what you are looking for during a design process. Are there any sites that you refer to whenever you need a design asset, article, or inspiration? Or do you just Google?

I'm revisiting my 3dicons.co project and adding features like - 1. Single icon download 2. Only 3d editor 3. Login authentication and license 4. API At the moment, I'm using Digital Ocean, and due to the complete icon set download at once, the bandwidth usage is around 8TB per month (too costl...
