Web Developer Tools & Resources
I joined PostHog when we were 11 people and had sold nothing. 5 years later, we’re now over 150 people and $$$ ARR. Here are 32 things I’ve learned – some unexpected, some kinda obvious.
A simple but powerful mental model for working with AI: treat it like an enthusiastic intern with no real-world experience. Paul Boag shares lessons learned from real client projects across user research, design, development, and content creation.
Summary: In the managed-UX integration model, UXers report to UX leadership, stay connected to their peers, and work daily with product teams to drive outcomes.
Anthropic Claude is a primary competitor of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Just like ChatGPT this is versatile tool that can be use used in many different purposes but there is an area where Claude shines and this area is coding. Claude is great at code-adjacent design tasks and can be used as a nice supporting tool for everyday product design activities.
Imagine a neighborhood with no sidewalks or ramps. Someone using a wheelchair or a parent pushing a stroller is immediately forced to drive or rely on others just to run simple errands.
The client came to us with an ambitious idea — to create a mental health support app that would help users cope with various psychological challenges and traumas. The core features included emotion tracking, meditation practices, and support through a built-in AI chat. The goal was not just to design a beautiful interface, but to build a thoughtful, user-friendly, and effective product that would stand out among competitors.
Commissioned by Network Rail to coincide with the railway’s 200th anniversary in 2025, the project aimed to create a standardised clock that could unify the passenger experience across the country while celebrating the rich heritage of British rail design. The result is a 1.8-metre physical and digital timepiece that fuses timeless symbolism with modern functionality, and reimagines one of the nation’s most recognisable icons in the process.
Shifting our focus from the designer or artist, and putting a spotlight on the printmakers and presses behind their projects, we spoke to some of the people crafting our tangible visual worlds about what the next generation of printmaking might look like… and if there is one.
Prompt treadmill is a situation that happens when you get stuck endlessly rewriting prompts to “make AI understand” your design intention, instead of actually moving forward. It’s one of the most annoying things that can happen when you work with AI, as you feel like you’re not moving forward, but instead burn rubber while remaining stuck in a rut.
The <select> element is one of the most common form controls on the web, but it has always been one of the hardest to style. That’s because browsers just let the OS decide how it looks, especially for the dropdown list and arrow icon.
Today we’re rolling out improvements that make it easier and more reliable to navigate files with a keyboard or screen reader. From new keyboard shortcuts—like selecting widgets in FigJam or adjusting ruler guides in Figma Design—to clearer announcements and richer text support for screen readers, these updates create a smoother experience that supports focus and flow for everyone.
Here’s the thing—while you’ve been grinding through these repetitive tasks, there’s an entire ecosystem of essential figma plugins designed to eliminate exactly these pain points. After testing over 100 plugins and analyzing workflows from design teams at companies like Spotify, Airbnb, and Netflix, I’ve compiled the definitive list of 72 tools that will revolutionize how you work in 2025.
Design systems win when they move product metrics. Consistency isn’t valuable enough by itself. Brad Frost, author of the famous Atomic Design methodology, shares practical insights on turning design systems into real product outcomes on the latest episode of Product Craft.
Are you ready to upgrade your creative workflow with tools that make design faster and more professional? Want to discover the essential platforms every designer should be using to take their projects to the next level?
Action for the sake of action feels good, but the path of least resistance leads you to surrender your own agency.
A design inspiration library is a lifelong practice; one that helps you anchor new projects, spark original ideas, and refine the taste and discernment that define great designers.

The closer an investment is to a core economic driver (revenue or cost), and the shorter the feedback loop between action and outcome, the easier it is to understand, justify, and manage ROI.
Generative UI is evolving at lightning speed, and nowadays we can achieve impressive results simply by asking AI tools to generate UIs for us. And the great thing is that you don’t need to switch from ChatGPT to any other tool to generate UI.
Journey mapping is one of the most widely used tools in interactive design, helping us create products and campaigns that connect with users on a deeper emotional level. This is key to building long-term loyalty, where users and customers feel an irrational sense of trust and gratitude toward your brand.
iOS 26’s visual language obscures content instead of letting it take the spotlight. New (but not always better) design patterns replace established conventions.
Cultural proximity refers to the degree of similarity in cultural traits, practices, values, language, and norms between groups, countries, or regions. People tend to trust and collaborate more easily with others who share similar backgrounds. This shapes our decision-making and sense of trust when we interact with others; however, it also potentially introduces bias and limits diversity. In this column, I’ll explore the benefits and challenges of leveraging cultural proximity, how...
Maybe you’ve gotten comfortable writing prompts or using simple one-click tools. But as AI interfaces start to take different forms, many of them are still kinda hard to figure out. Navigating them can be overwhelming. It doesn’t feel like you’re using these products so much as deciphering them. The engineering is powerful, but the flows don’t make sense.
Ever Google “UI UX design blogs” hoping to stumble upon designer secrets—not just recycled lists? It’s tough. Most search results feel stuck in 2022, spotlighting the same names and missing the dramatic leaps in AI, accessibility, and workflow seen in 2025. If you’re a designer who wants more than surface-level tips, this list is crafted to deliver real value: tested resources, practical advice, and workflow gems tailored for UI/UX professionals at every...
I’ve written quite a lot recently about how I prepare and optimise SVG code to use as static graphics or in animations. I love working with SVG, but there’s always been something about them that bugs me.

Applications that manifest on demand. Interfaces that redesign themselves to fit the moment. Web forms that practically complete themselves. It’s tricky territory, but this strange frontier of intelligent interfaces is already here, promising remarkable new experiences for the designers who can negotiate the terrain. Let’s explore the landscape:
Your skill gap isn’t always obvious. There are skills that most UX bootcamps never point out or add to their curriculum, and these skills low-key make the difference between a good designer and a great one.
What if your business could reclaim thousands of hours every month, without hiring a single new employee? That’s the reality forward-thinking enterprises are achieving today with AI Business Process Automation (AI-BPA).
If you’re trying to decide what to use and when, keep reading. We’ll break it down clearly. Short phrases. Clear separation of ideas.
Learn how to make a modern CSS pulse animation using only HTML and CSS and use this for video play buttons in your websites.
Double-clicking is a clunky gesture from the floppy disk era that has no place in modern UX. As interfaces evolve toward AI, touch, and simplicity, it’s time to finally bury the double-click for good. If you’re still designing for it, you’re designing backwards.
Local throughput optimization always externalizes costs onto downstream colleagues.
Practical ways to defend your design: adapt process to context, back choices with evidence, expose work early, and speak stakeholder language.
Every season has a distinct vibe. People celebrate them by wearing seasonal colors and delighting in traditional flavors. Autumn appears to have taken over as a favorite time of year for many. Pumpkin spice, anyone?
There is no denying that LLMs are the new kid on the block. Our marketing director (that’d be me) said that if we don’t write something about it, we will be left behind, so we ran an experiment, we went hardcore on it, and… TL;DR, we don’t fully buy it, yet.
AI makes it easier than ever to turn an idea into working code. But to get the best results, you need more than a well-structured prompt. Today we’re announcing updates to the Figma MCP server and Code Connect that make it possible to bring Figma design context anywhere you work—whether it’s in your IDE, your AI agent, or your prototypes.
Web development has become a team collaboration a lot deeper than just writing computer code. It includes designing user experience, to responsive interfaces, to backend development, to customer service upkeep. For businesses and agencies that operate in the fast-paced digital work environment, both creating, and maintaining high functioning websites require technical skills, and the ability to allocate resources and scale projects. This is where remote work teams have become an...
Real-time dashboards are decision assistants, not passive displays. In environments like fleet management, healthcare, and operations, the cost of a delay or misstep is high. Karan Rawal explores strategic UX patterns that shorten time-to-decision, reduce cognitive overload, and make live systems trustworthy.
But here’s what we’ve forgotten: the more fluently a language is spoken, the more accents it can support without losing meaning. English in Scotland differs from English in Sydney, yet both are unmistakably English. The language adapts to context while preserving core meaning. This couldn’t be more obvious to me, a Brazilian Portuguese speaker, who learned English with an American accent, and lives in Sydney.
