.@rishadist: “The future — and viability — of your information ice cream shop is based on how many flavors you’re able to sell, based on how many user problems you have found to solve.”

Every designer needs 3 libraries:
1. UI Reference Library: apps, patterns, screenshots
2. Decision Library: what worked, what didn’t, & why
3. System Library: components you can drag into any new project
Your brain becomes 10x faster when you stop redesigning solved problems.

Through their @ICFJKnight Fellowship, @alansoon & @rishadist of @splicenewsroom are looking for 10 “Nanos” to build a product, service or company that serves user needs with the help of AI. Interested? Click here: buff.ly/3MByeHZ

Woman opposite me on the train is playing videos out loud on her laptop and she’s available on airdrop… Enjoy this article, Emma!
I just landed in Istanbul on my way to Tallinn — I’m listening to episode 32 of the @EmpirePodUK podcast about Evliya Çelebi, ‘The Greatest Ottoman Adventurer’. It’s a great place to eavesdrop on the conversation between @tweeter_anita, @DalrympleWill, and Caroline Finkel.

Important to understand.
Almost every single design conference is created for you at the expense of the hosts. Please be kind to them.
Event hosts: start charging more money and stop relying on sponsors. Price tickets better. Only host events if you have money you can lose.
Is anyone else being charged by @deskhop_ with no invoices or email updates? @leebetts_ , are you still running this thing? Your Deskhop email address doesn't work any longer. Could someone get back to me about this? Thanks.

The decline of the headphone jack has released an epidemic of braindead mouthbreathers playing videos in public spaces. Airpods are expensive but even if you manage to get them they're easy to lose (easier if you're dumb). So tech companies increase profits as people buy more of these miniature devices and the rest of us must endure shitty music and tik tok noise pollution.
