I hate that is not easy for me to hang up people calling me for promotions or offering cards but I kind of feel bad and many times I let them finish they entire pitch. I can’t help it 🤦🏻‍♂️

Life changing, here in Mexico is around $300 dollars with the same professional equipment. I’d bring 2 US friends here to do theirs, couldn’t be happier. Do it!

Still can’t believe that there’s still people (27+) that just let their employer know that they’re not coming back next week. Without problems just wanted something different. With projects assigned and running. Leaving the mess to the rest of the team.

I don’t know why all this time I’ve haven’t use @WorkingCopyApp to make my life easier with my shortcuts 🤦🏻‍♂️

I forgot how weak is my skin that it gets all red and scratched once I started training again at a high level. I look like I’m sick. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Never underestimate the importance of a good bed. Of all the expensive things you can buy this should be at the top of your priority list.

Had to kill some time after morning training so I stopped in a coffee and this time I only bring my iPad, way more comfortable. With the magic keyboard and figurative that lets me edit Figma files, there’s few things I need my laptop for.

I started to record myself redesigning my old site, after doing one video it feels more like a new job than just having fun 🙃 doingitwrong

I think they are many lessons that those lone designers can share. I still have pending to write about how I built a design system as the only designer. And I’m about to start another one. I should document it to be easier to share 🤔

So many content for design teams, so little for the lone designer in a company.

I’m still excited thinking the we will be able to create and use shortcuts on our macs, I’ve been waiting for this but didn’t expect the announcement I was just thinking about the new M1 models.

So many sites down right now 👀

New safari updates look great too. It’s been my surfing default browser for some time now.

Shortcuts for the Mac! 🔥

Wow the new notes app features look amazing! WWDC21

I forgot that today is the Apple keynote, hope they introduce the new MacBooks today 🤞🏼

Ok this new improved shortcut should work now, if it does I’ll be way more active on Twitter from now on. 🤞🏼

👀

Beautiful and fun website https://gt-maru.com

9 is perfect but I’ll go from 8 to 12.

I don’t use Adobe fonts in Figma so besides using the desktop app and restart when activating a new font. Find where they’re (YouTube video) and install them in your computer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPvsbHqPIdQ

Future parents, the more adaptable you are the easier it will be. And step by step teach your kids to be an adaptable person too. Not every day they routine will go as planned and they have to learn to deal with it. Adaptability is one of the top “human skills”

Wow FigJam looks very promising, just letting you use your design system components and variables is incredible. This will be super useful!

I’m enjoying @readngco a lot. Give it a try!

I kind of what that all small business that offer their products or services for free to be very open and say how they’re making money. Don’t need all the details, just something so I can trust them.

Wow these are amazing 🤩 But pleaseee share where are those places 🙏🏼

💯 yes! I prefer to use CSS animations so it loads them once when opening the page and can’t be too slow. The other ones is like they force you to scroll at a certain speed to have a decent experience. 😑

Making a good looking html email? Is not as hard as to make it look good with dark mode on 🤢

Here’s a tip. Since outlook and gmail invert background colors try using a repeated CSS bg of 1px white image

I’m surprised that there are still so many people who continually claim that they are not creative. They excuse themselves from doing things they don’t usually do, doesn’t matter how small the tasks are. 🤦🏻

Thank you! For caring and doing something different about it. 👏🏼

I tried @around_hq today and I have to say I’m super impressed. I been waiting for a tool like this. Congrats to the team.

There should not be “That’s not my job” moments in high performance teams. Specially in designer / developer relationships.

No one should have “That’s not my job” moments, respect and involve in each other areas. Bring them early in the design process. I share them quick mock-ups before the client for their opinion and also to know if I’m not making it harder for them than it needs.

Today I was told that they admire my bravery, not for stepping in the ring or cage but for having studied graphic design in Mexico.

Yes, while I made custom design and template changes. It is powered by https://fractal.build Amazing tool.

The first company needed to ship faster and had a base product built so I designed in the browser, there’s actually no design file for that one 😳

I’m now in the same position as the only designer in an early stage startup. But now the process in this company is different. A lot of mock-ups help so I’m building it first in Figma.

I was heavily inspired of the top DS and the bright people behind it. Still pretty proud of the work and result. design.rtshawkeye.com

✋🏼 I’ve been in that position twice. First time I was able to sell the idea of a DS but I had to own that project. As the only designer I just had 25% of my time for that and had to build it too.

So another Ramiro Ruiz just message me to tell me to change my username because he wants it. And that he’s sorry for the inconvenience. 👀

So even in design rooms they’re talking about the design of clubhouse 🙄 Haven’t found something worth staying. At least in podcasts you can fast forward the bits you’re not interested.

I couldn’t find you in overcast, is it going to be Spotify only?

Own your content, syndicate everywhere.

This is a great explanation, for sure I’ll try it with mine that are still too young to ask…

Tokyo is such a great city to walk around. I want to go back so much. Hopefully soon after things get better.

🤯 Whoa!

This is amazing in just a few minutes a got my own https://webmentions.ramiroruiz.com Thank you so much @mxbck

Does all clubhouse rooms just talk about how great, breakthrough, etc etc clubhouse is? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

‪Started using a business name in 2009 🙄‬ ‪Is still up for the memories at https://mirdum.com ‬ ‪1️⃣ WordPress (2009-2012)‬ ‪2️⃣ HTML / CSS / PHP (2012-2016) moving to https://ramiroruiz.com‬ ‪3️⃣ Hugo (2017 - to this day) very happy just working on a design refresh‬

It’s been a long time since having aesthetic design was a luxury. Luxury is knowing how to talk to the market you are looking for in your their own language. #Communication

Do you work on a schedule you set yourself, or do you believe in having more random free time to encourage creativity?

‪Love it, it reminded me of the turning pro quotes from @SPressfield The war of art book.‬ ‪“The amateur believes she must first overcome her fear to do her work. The professional knows that fear can never be overcome. She shows up no matter what and do the work”‬

This is awesome! https://briefs.video/videos/why-the-indieweb/

Looks like my reply shortcut using the api is ready

I’d love to be able to keep the smell of my kids as babies, each one is different. A few years pass and then you realize that they don’t smell like that anymore 🥺

Most softwares when moving elements. Arrow keys small nudge, and hold down shift for big nudge. Google slides let’s invert those controls 🥴

Playing a little with the Twitter api

Design is all about empathy, design divas are not a great designers.

So Brendan Fraser website from 2005 is still up and is amazing!

Many business forget that the little details matter, the quality of the hand sanitizer you offer is part of the customer experience.

The more the better, I want to see higher quality packs 😅

Design systems does not cancel creativity, they’re constantly evolving. You have to create, adapt and improve under certain restrictions. That’s what design is all about, work with constraints to deliver results.

I speed up the video and remove the parts that takes 1-2 min for @Netlify to deploy !img

With iOS14 I can tweet and post on my website from my Home Screen. This is amazing!

Just saw one of my first websites from 2007 🤯, made it with Dreamweaver and flash for a no-so-impressive header animation. I love that I was able to save it. Is great to see your early work and see how much you’ve improved.

This looks super fun and challenging, would love to see the final result.

I know the trend now is don’t care about that but is still feels great when you earn the respect of someone or a group.

I’ve been focusing on product design for a while now but whenever I get a branding project I get super excited. I don’t agree on the idea of only doing one thing. Why limit yourself when there’s so much to do, go and do them. As long is not at same time 😅

That’s awesome!! Thank you Mike, virtual hug my man

Thank you @tapology !

Really enjoying Ted Lasso on TV+ great script and refreshing sense of humor.

New portable SSD, crazy how small it is. Now I’ll be able to edit movies from it as it is pretty fast, back it up to a 4TB hard drive that mirrors to the cloud (sync.com) that’s my new file management strategy. Feeling pretty safe but open for any feedback.

Loving the style!

I’ve been pretty quiet lately, a lot of work and things to learn 👌🏼

Yeees!, they make you think something is wrong with your browser or you just have to scan the page with your mouse to find the link 🙄

I don’t understand how some designers think is a good idea to underline text or headings just for emphasis on a website.

“Let me make this look like a link without being one” 🤦🏻‍♂️

And they’ll always be those that say that they never need to see the work of other designers, that they start from scratch just looking at nature for inspiration 🙄

Completely agree! @danmall wrote a great article about that.

Moments when you’re start realizing you’re not a kid anymore, like when you see your first grey hair and when you notice you’re older than the characters on Friends. 😱

That’s something I hear many times, “this needs more design” “add design to this” “make it beautiful” but I know their intentions are good 😅

That’s something I hear many times, “this needs more design” “add design to this” “make it beautiful” but I know their intentions are good 😅

Looking for a great serie to watch? #GiriHaji is amazing, I need more of that kind of quality and originality.

Love how many like to say that “AI is going to replace designers” every year. I get it, they want reactions and clicks. But they’re wrong. For years this profession has evolved with the tools and use them to their advantage and they will continue to do so.

It was a little forced in my opinion, having a native “use gmail” option? 💁‍♂️

🤣🤣🤣 the best!

themostamazingwebsiteontheinternet.com

It never gets old.

Simplification is a powerful design strategy. Naturally the button to make an emergency call should be as simple as possible. And yet, we also need further design strategies that help us accept, understand, and interact with complex situations in our lives.

Amazing piece on complexity with gorgeous animations as a plus.

Getting my feet wet with react and vue when what I really need is an intense course on Git 🤦🏻‍♂️

A certain way of improving one’s work is by being in a positions of saying no. That gets you better clients, projects and more time for each one. Easier said than done, I couldn’t afford to say no until this year.

That’s why the saying of not making your hobby a job. Unless you find a way to keep doing the things you love while delegating the rest, but is not easy.

#TIL no idea that you can go back in time in street view with the little clock icon. This super interesting.

That’s why I don’t try to base mine in what exactly a recruiters wants to see. That’s my website, a part of me. Is just happens that like many, it has an outdated design and portfolio 😅

Good design matters. There are always customers that go for the cheapest option. And others that look for the one that take great care of them and their experience. Actions attracts clients, we should act to attract the ones we want.

Prototypes are not that popular or as talked as they use to 3 years ago but if you’re a quick doing them they’re super valuable.

I was about to leave after the first hours I play with it. But when I forwarded my accounts and gave it 1 full day I really like it. I like to have inbox 0 or I get uncomfortable now I’m using it as a email receiver. The feed is wonderful as I have many subscriptions.

I was being lucky but I now know someone personally that has Corona 😥

This is important, especially if they’re waiting you to start building. I like to share early, make them part of the process and if you can, design components / sections first instead of the whole page. So devs can work on them asap

Be grateful, learn, share and make friends.

That feel when you fixed all the bugs and you can actually enjoy the last day of a project.

Instead of acknowledging talent so much, we should do it more with hard work. Encourage skill over talent, one comes from practice and self-discipline and the other is something you’re born with. And only one has no limits.

I’m really excited for the next updates on safari. It’s always my default browser but I find it uncomfortable to develop in it. Hope that will change.

Android has their advantages, but interface design is not one of them. Flat design is all over the place, is not an apple only thing.

I’m very happy about the design update by Apple, I now can add more life into some elements without looking outdated. I was never a complete fan of flat UI.

When we take Michael Jordan, Warren Buffet, among others as role models, our children are doing the same to be like us. If being a father doesn’t make you a happier and better person, you’re doing it wrong.

Happy day to all.

Watched @BryceDHoward new Dads documentary on AppleTV+ yesterday. It was great, we need more of this.

I can only set the volume of my tv or car in multiples of 8. I get so uncomfortable if is on a different number. #8PointGrid

Congrats, the HEY.com support team is incredible! Super fast.

My wife always helps me to value my work. — You charge them that?! You’re almost doing it for free!

And when she’s asking a favor. — Aww come on, is so easy for you. It would not take long. 🙄

I now have 5 different animations for a svg graphic that get triggered at certain moments. SVG is a complex beast and learning about them has payed off.

I hate the UI but is way better than Meet.

I can understand the exciting in HEY, I also can’t wait to try it out but what I don’t get is the excitement in having a @hey email. I hope is possible to use your own, nothing looks better than having a @yourname.com email.

Looks like my wife thinks we have thieves inside the house, or is there other reason to tightly close every plastic bag there is?

They’re impossible to open.

Halfway through Mistakes were made (But not by me) and is so great. Is making me look at my actions be better.

Our opponents or competitors are actually more like us than our friends.

You’re right, depends on the language. The main point I’m trying to make is how often I see center alight data or some crazy mixes having all three alignments in one table making them a nightmare to read.

I heard a theory that they did that to avoid people using them with the cable connected at all times, making it look “ugly”

I don’t know if that smart or evil. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Most data table cells should be left aligned, is easier for the eye to read text that have a common starting point.

Am I hearing Tiktok songs on the radio or is it that I hear radio songs on Tiktok. Pretty sure is the former, that platform is constantly making viral music.

Random geometric elements are the new purple gradients.

I now have a new Spanish account @ramiroruiz_ES I was deciding which language to use for each tweet and since I already translate them for my site I’ll tweet both now and keep things separate.

I bought a sunrise alarm clock a week ago, and I can’t recommend enough. Game changer for me. 🙌🏼

Not a fan of @netlify new homepage design 😕 for a second I thought I enter the wrong domain. Is completely different.

My son likes the show a lot, so I’m editing a @BlippiOfficial sign, really wish they can use it. My eyes hurt every time I see it, and is a lot of times.

Why so many make links indistinguishable from text, if you’re not going to underline them you better make them really different. Nobody enjoys hovering every element of a page to figure if is clickable.

Great idea! I have many feeds for the different post types in my site and I’m definitely going to make one!

Sharing early unfinished work helps me, communicating the reasoning of my decisions and being open to feedback. It makes them feel and actually be part of the result while you’re still responsible of how it turns out. Doesn’t matter who had the best idea.

Sharing often and early is one of the biggest things that have improved my work as a designer. Stop caring what would they think by seeing unfinished pieces and trust yourself. Your teammates will thank you.

Insecurity, not be willing to change directions or being able to explain and backup their decisions.

Sharing unfinished work is a pro hack that I’ve been enjoying the last 3 years, I wish I started sooner.

This is amazing 😂 https://www.theolognion.com

First time using a case for my phone, I always use them “al natural” since my iPhone 4 but this thing is more expensive than what I used to drive 3 years ago 😅 #NoRegrets

Looking back at some answers I wrote in Quora got me thinking in maybe elaborate more and publish them as blog posts.

Iteration is everything. It should be more encouraged, to revisit past projects and improve them with new knowledge. Imagine doing that every couple of years, some of us have our site for that but for other types would be great too.

Man, templating RSS feed can be quite confusing. I did some folder structure changes at my sites a couple of weeks ago and didn’t realize that the change broke my feeds. Thankfully after some frustrations I fix them. Now I can sleep 😴

I can add them in a different page but that’s adding a click to the process. Now I’ve been placing them inside a colored background with a “past versions” label. Open to hear other ways.

I avoid deleting the first versions of most designs, I keep duplicating artboards and iterate on the new ones. But I want to make it clear which are the old ones so I don’t confuse people or comment on past versions.

It’s all for the product’s own good. 😅

This is a note that I wrote in @BearNotesApp and was scheduled to be posted at a specific date and hour with the help of @pushcut_app

This is amazing!

Finished the last dance, is felt a little special that I got to see a little of that era. I remember watching MJ last final on TV. There’s always a great level of obsession in successful people. It has to, the only way to distance yourself from the pack.

I’m recently seeing a lot of talk about innovation. But the people that are actually innovating are not the ones that are constantly reading and talking about it, but the ones that are constantly making things.

Big red flag when companies want their employees to stay at level 1 and 2.

Crazy how I was so use to having a small screen computer, from sharing my quick screen shot videos to slack that were around 14mb for some seconds. Just share one from the new 16” MBP and I was 100MB 🤯

I will use @GoHugoIO with @Netlify. Hugo for the simplicity, speed and it supports multilingual sites/blogs out of the box.

Just changed all my indie post files organization and url structure.

Ugh, I just recently realize how painful it is to add custom design into a squarespace website.

This looks amazing 😲 https://timemator.com/

Bridgy does a posse-post-discovery, I have a <link rel=“feed” In my site’s head, pointing to all my notes that have a u-syndication link. More details here: https://brid.gy/about#link Happy to answer any more questions.

Now I got my replies updated without needing a link for the webmentions.

Oh man that’s awful

I’ve been having problems with a video not auto playing in just some phones 😥 no idea why, works on mine and many others but a few see the play button. So weird.

When you are getting desperate because the changes are not being reflected until you realize you’re not looking at local but staging. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Titok editing tools are impressive. There’s a loooot of options.

So happy to have webmentions working without including a link to my site, that should help for the people that thought I was spamming all the time 😅 I really love the things you can do with the #Indieweb

The skill to express yourself clearly without needing a meeting is undervalue.

I use @GoHugoIO and I love the speed, flexibility and the active and helpful community.

Going to do some changes in the next couple of days on my site to remove my post links but still keep my webmentions.

I know it may look spamish but it was necessary. Now I know there’s ways to have them without it

Upgrading my old 2013 MBP, has been my best computer to date. Looking forward for the new one, I hope that with the current situation, it doesn’t take longer than usual 🤞🏼

The more I learn about svg’s the more I realize how much is possible with them, just made two svg animations for a project last week.

This is a first test of my new tweet workflow.

#IndieWeb

Do you want to learn and be more efficient with your time of the day. Have kids!

• Don’t have kids for only that reason 🙏🏼
  

Even in the middle of this crisis, I can’t believe how fortunate I am. I have what I need and I’m starting to receive those lucky opportunities that I’ve been preparing for 🙌🏼

So they had a full screen 5MB hero image 🤯 I manage to optimize it to 121KB.

Now the website feels completely different. Optimization is super important 🙂

Got to design a small Ebook 🙂 first one after many of catalogues and local magazines. I know the general advice is to specialize but I would never be able to just design the same kind of things.

This would be a great moment to have drive-in cinemas 😢

Very excited about this new futuristic project 🤩 all done in #css

I started some explorations for a project in Figma, then I jump into another project that is on Sketch and I have to use illustrator to make a svg graphic.

I can tell my computer is not happy, she’s not responding. 😅😭

This is amazing 😍 https://vimeo.com/195399404

Tough times don’t define you, they refine you. ‪True for people and companies.

Remember, no matter how bad things are, you can always make them worse.

#TIL that you can view folder sizes in the Finder’s list view on your Mac. 🤯

I don’t think I will ever find the words to describe what it feels to bring a new life to this world and seeing them becoming independent. The more my oldest grows, the more incredible it is for me.

One thing is running a remote #DesignSprint with everyone in different offices or home offices, and another one is to run it with everyone in their temporary “home offices” while dealing with their kids at the same time.

Great post, I’m building a pattern library for my site to make it easier to improve and iterate on it. I found that a major problem is going back and trying to understand old code and seeing many mistakes that we think that is better start from scratch.

Today I received an email from my website for a possible new project, when I asked where did he find my site. He answered by searching on @DuckDuckGo

That has to be a great sign right?

Duh 🤦🏻‍♂️ never mind, just took a better look and is the twitter shortcut extension.

Nice, I also publish various types of posts to my site by using shortcuts. This reply is one of them.

Are you using the twitter api?

One thing is being loyal and another is being stupid and that line can sometimes be blurry.

I love when people mention that want to add more “design” to specific sections.

It will be interesting to know with so many people forced to experience remote work for the first time if, by the time everything settles down, will they be able to happily come back to their normal routine and commutes? #RemoteWork

https://sidebar.io is good and consistent.

Also https://fragments.pro is a new one but is a little too much for me most of the time.

Jojo Rabbit is brilliant, highly recommended.

I haven’t installed on my site but Ackee is on my list as it looks great and has just what I need.

https://ackee.electerious.com/

Starting a project were everyone is using Microsoft’s teams 😰

Another messaging app to have it open.

Great day of training, everyone getting better each day.

I receive an invitation to submit a specific piece from my portfolio for a design award thing. And I was like wow goodbye impostor syndrome 👋🏼🍾🥳

The I found out I need to pay to enter the “competition” 😒 Oh well #BusinessAsUsual now

I love Things @culturedcode I also use @BearNotesApp every day and the iOS shortcuts app is incredible.

That moment when you’re so excited to start a new design project until you see their official logo 😔 so sad

Just arrived to Mexico city for a few days to get punch in the face and eat great food. It should be fun.

Today I finished The Ends of the World by Peter Brannen. The book is great, but I end up with mix feelings by knowing the stuff that now know. Ignorance is bliss.

What a fun session of light sparring this morning at @downtown.dojo I surely missed them. I Cut the parts where I get hit 😆

What a great article by @adactio it makes me feel good about my choice to stay away from gatsby.

Bittersweet feeling after seeing the last episode of the Good place. What a great show.

That’s why I always hated the title soup in design of recent years. I still want to call myself web designer like back in the day but nobody is looking for that position now 🤦🏻‍♂️

I have a big remote design sprint next week, so I’ve been playing with @mural to see if it can replace our current methods and I’m very impressed so far.

#DesignSprints

The reaction I always get from friends when I talk about the work I do on my website to own my content like notes, replies, photos, etc. 🤷🏻‍♂️

#IndieWeb

Nothing can beat remote work when you can have this kind of breaks.

#RemoteWork

I’m becoming an expert in google slides and I’m not liking it.

Now more than ever, we rather want to be individually right than at peace with each other.

Trying my best at learning enough react to build my components on storybook. Is funny to feel very smart or very dumb in minutes. Got to say I’m very impressed with storybook.

Is never as good as with other people but it’s something. Planning to hang up more bags soon.

#HomeWorkout #Boxing #PunchingBag

Most of the time I polish using the developer inspector until I’m happy, that and also I take too long to commit, I know 😅🤷🏻‍♂️

Started reading The Ends of the World by Peter Brannen 📚

Crazy how in illustrator you can’t export artboards as separate PDFs without the elements that are outside of it.

This great script by Matthew made it possible.

Please people don’t act surprised #UFC #HandPicked

I really wish Apple would give more love to their messages desktop app. 😪

Seeing the CSS variable value on hover is super helpful. Thank you @firefox ❤️

#Devtools

I’ve been using the together reader https://indieweb.org/Together on mobile, it works for basic RSS feeds too and use https://reederapp.com on desktop.

Excited to start a project where I will be able to play with storybook, I had a great experience with Fractal in another project.

The new Fisher-Price logo is gorgeous. Great job by Pentagram.

Looking great!

I’m curious, do you think is better to keep portfolio / profesional site and personal / blog one as separate websites?

#TIL: scroll-behavior CSS property https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/scroll-behavior

No more js for that, to bad safari doesn’t support it.

That would be awesome, thank you!

Great video, subscribed!

I’ve been thinking in also documenting my own site redesign but Idk if I would have the time. I only find small chunks of time here and there to work on it, should I do video or blog, spanish or funny-accent-english? Oh well 🤷🏻‍♂️

Connecting the dots is a rare and valuable skill. Solving problems that hasn’t been solved before.

Instead collecting dots and consuming. We can produce and share more.

There’s no replacement of getting your hands dirty.

I used to think that good talkers were smarter. Now I know better. Some people have to talk to think, others do not.

Being a great communicator is still a great skill to have.

The two popes is a great movie, highly recommended.

Pitch, design and develop my first Design System.

In 2020 I’m looking to ship 2 side projects and start a meetup.

I have them separate because once I add another type: ‘replies’ language it can get a little confusing. Feel free to asks any questions or improve them.

I’m sure there’s a lot of room for that.

Here you go, first is the one that just asks for my reply. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/625a4c6d08cc49ceb954e4a8b0fd9ccf

Then the replies shortcut, forms and publish the post https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/625a4c6d08cc49ceb954e4a8b0fd9ccf

Yeah no problem, give me a couple of minutes to clean them up since those shortcuts are set for two type: ‘replies’ languages as my site is multilingual.

Working again on my RSS feed templates. It is harder than I thought.

I’m 32 and I think I’m 24 🤷🏻‍♂️

No problem, happy to help.

I get the tweet content with this https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/6010ec197fd8406fb74f4d8559e3795e I send it to another that asks my reply and publish the md files, after netlify deploys I send a webmention to brid.gy to publish it on twitter.

That’s awesome 👏🏼 I also mostly use iOS shortcuts for my indie posts, like this reply.

For syndication I don’t really know about lambda functions. I do it with the help of brid.gy by send it them a webmention.

Just saw Marriage Story. Was a little hard to watch, but I still highly recommend it, especially with your partner. Great conversation afterwards.

This are the kind of friends I need.

Congrats! 👏🏼

Trying to make a IFTTT webhook to work, keep getting error 400 😓

Today has been very productive half day.

The Design System is now on production.

Another “realistic” combo 😅

Just saw the teenage mutant ninja turtles episode of the toys that made us on Netflix.

What a great story! Big fan and proud owner of many TMNT toys.

It is! My son was a little afraid to sit with Santa so…

Good a short post. I’ve been doing similar stuff. Works wonders.

Just upgraded from my old iPhone 6 to a 11 pro and is ridiculous how much I was missing.

Got the approval for a second phase 🙌🏼, Now I will have more time to clean some stuff up so I can share it publicly.

Just pushed the last docs. The first release is ready 🎉 with one day to spare I’ll be laying if I don’t say I feel super proud and happy of this project.

It already made my life easier while designing the new products.

What a great talk by @yolamartin in how we should look at the whole picture.

Quality of life > 💸

I can’t believe how much it took me to start using iOS shortcuts.

It makes my phone feel powerful again.

The “I throw all these punches to land one” combo. They’re still the most fun to do. First training in the new location, is going to be amazing. 👏🏼

Now you can search tags in https://getpocket.com/ thank you 🙌🏼 this makes it so much better and easy to use.

Because we are wild creative creatures that need complete freedom to wait until inspiration comes 🙄

Even designing in chunks (components) instead of the whole screen is avoided. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I do like to go for walks to clear my mind but let’s not abuse and give the idea that nothing else influence our work. Let’s give credit to those who deserve it.

So now nature is the only inspiration source.

Like “I don’t know how to do this, I need to stare at some trees to get the answer”

I’ve been so wrong about QR Codes 🤯

Also, China is doing incredible things 👏🏼 so many creative ideas and implementations.

Santiago is looking beautiful today.

Finally fixed my RSS feeds, now the images are showing and I have links for All, Notes, Replies and Photos. More content and feeds to come.

I’ve been using Sleep++ for automatic sleep tracking and is pretty amazing.

Just starting using indie readers and wow 😮 I’m impressed. Super easy to consume and interact with content.

Never ending story for me. It took me forever to publish personal stuff, till recently, I just started to ship bit by bit and accepted that my site will always be a WIP.

This is impressive! Thank you for showing us how much is possible. 🙌🏼

There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept responsibility for changing them.

This is an amazing article that most organizations should read.

It greatly explains so many things. That I’ve been trying on my own since reading Deep work.

I personally love this open source and variable font beauty.

While refactoring old styles on a project and I found a class with more rules than it needed because it had position: flex so they’re extra rules the compensates the undetected mistake.

The author, me… 👀🤫

Don’t stop after the first or second version. No matter how good you think they are.

#iterate

I hate when in talks or keynotes, the speaker asks trick questions to the audience.

Is selfish. It puts people on the spot and is always just to correct them in front of everyone.

‪Why many are bad at giving feedback?‬

‪By being asked, most of the times, it makes them think they’re superior. That’s why there’s more negative comments than positive. There’s fear on losing the higher status so is safer to put people down.‬

Super happy of how my ‪@BearNotesApp‬ Morning/Night routine & journal iOS workflow turned out. 😁

‪Don’t:‬ ‪💬 Hello 👋🏼‬ ‪Waits for the hello answer.‬ ‪💬 How are you?‬ ‪Waits…‬ ‪💬 That’s great, [THE REASON THEY REACH OUT?]‬ ‪——‬ ‪Do:‬ ‪💬 Hello 👋🏼, hope you’re doing well. [THE REASON THEY REACH OUT?]‬

‪More optimization on messages please 🙏🏼‬

Never stopping, #PersonalReminder

Great NoGi class, is good to be back.

Still working on my full site redesign, but I went forward and added #webmentions to my notes on the current design. Now if you like/reply my tweets it will show on the site. Baby steps, the visuals are pretty rough at the moment. #indieweb

As a photography fan and a father with a cute kid… It should be consider a skill to be able to survive with a 16gb iPhone.

📚 Finish Mastery by Robert Greene. Like it a lot, a little bit longer than it needs to be but it has many great stories and examples.

Explanations. Anyone should be prepared to backup their decisions. No matter the position, especially for acts that affect others. Nobody should do things without worrying than someone will ask “why?”

This is a photo I haven’t shared before. Happy that I now send my instagram posts to my site. I’ll write more about the setup later.

I should use the @media (hover: none) media query more often.

Way safer and practical than just guessing screen sizes.

Bored of Lorem Ipsum? I just used this https://slipsum.com/ and is amazing! 😄

Pretty excited to start a small industry 4.0 project, designing and building stuff that involve robots using cameras and responding to what they’re seeing it. 🤩

I don’t like how aggressive @InVisionApp emails it’s been lately, constantly asking for meeting to suggest a different paid plan, they even emailed one of our clients to get to us.

They’re crossing the line…

Made a quick update in the notes template, is very simple. Just to post them now, instead of waiting to finish my upcoming site redesign.

It’s been awhile since I wrote something by hand, it actually felt good. Thinking in doing it more often.

Today’s my birthday and I’m so in to getting my #indieweb note posting iOS workflow just right. #ThirdTry
