I remember when Nokia phones were crushing their opponents in terms of user experience, despite the incredible amount of devices they offered. The one-in-all blue button was remarkable. There were no OS, just different brands. Nokia failed

Ah, the occasional overly aggressive rant that hits the front page. I wonder how the phrase "Here is a small example" can lead to "Fuck you Bing, really, fuck you" in only a few paragraphs.

There's so much to say about this video, but I'll summarize it by quoting one of my favourite articles: "Solving the wrong problem". [1] (By the way, itt's funny how nowadays, hardware UI is immediately associated w

I wanted to build a simple calendar for the London 2012 Olympics (and actually built another one for the Sochi Olympics). Both times I ended up using a JSON file found on NBC's website. Like the linked article suggests, it would be nic

Being able to come up with elaborate equations to draw a layout is a smart way to tell the browser how to dynamically resize and position a set of elements. It has, for example, helped me design custom "Pinterest-like" layouts. Ke

This little CSS experiment is usually the kind of irrelevant demonstration that is commonly frowned upon because it has no practical use. But no matter how apparently futile this showcase can appear, it's still inherently valid because

I'm currently redesigning a backend interface, and it's the 1st time since I've started my Front-End career (7 years ago) that I'm not using Photoshop at all . I'm just using Bootstrap, Sublime Text, and Chrome. Fo

" More Spell On You " was actually produced by Daniel Vangarde (a.k.a Thomas Bangalter's father). It might be the reason why Daft Punk were able to avoid legal complications.

This article could be titled "How to use Photoshop to draw interfaces". I've been looking for a true alternative to Photoshop. Sketch looks neat but requires Mac OS 10.7 at least (my iMac is stuck at 10.6, my MBA isn't s

- Arbitrary written content with mixed in assets Nothing works here. You're right. Offering a simple way for a non-technical user to manage (locally) his layout is the challenge of most WYSIWYG. I don't use Medium but w

I'm slighly confused by the article's premise ("2014 will be the Content’s year") and it mentioning tools such as Wix, Squarespace, or even Macaw, who can't be considered as CMS but rather complete website builders.

The concept is nice, and works well on mobile interfaces where placeholders are often used in replacement of standard labels. You end up providing the user with additional information, considering each field still provides a label even when

CSS variables are the only reason I started using Sass and LESS in the first place. But although these preprocessors come with other interesting features, I never managed to truly incorporate them in my workflow. The way I ended up solving

Well, I think the solution is to NOT have something tucked away (like the current menu). You have space in the header, use it! Especially for buttons that will be frequently used. And don't use icons only . Users went mad when GMail r

Very neat. I'm the kind of person who likes having everything laid out before him, i.e. I don't like organization that relies too much on depth. For example, I usually prefer prefixing my file names rather than splitting them into

These basically look like MIDI controllers in a kit. I love the modularity: being able to design your own physical interface. I do a lot of computer-based music, and what really sets creativity in motion is the ability to control your sof

Was using Winamp 5 for the past year but recently switched back to v2.95, which is allegedly the best version out there. Although it's 10 years old (!!), it's still the best music player available: lightweight, fast, responsive, a

AdBlock blocks the ads, Ghostery blocks the scripts. It's an interesting combination that is less radical than NoScript, and still prevents loading most of the annoying stuff. Of course, if you want to limit the features of a website (

Although Frontend is impressive, the target market is a bit blurry. As a front-end developer, I don't see myself using such a tool. And non tech-savvy people would probably feel a bit overwhelmed and would still have issues designing a
