Have you been to the site? It's not at all navigable on desktops. When you can't even read the content without being shoved into another section of the site entirely, it's kind of a big deal.

I wouldn't say work on Dribbble is necessarily best practice. Many of the shots are just concepts by people who care more about "pretty" than how functional and realistically useful they are in the wild.

I believe it will always comes down to context. Some people love pixel fonts (like Silkscreen), but they generally don't have a place in larger sizes or on paper. Likewise, browsers handling serifs' mix of thick and thin line weights can le

Then why not sign up for it directly? Hypothetically, if you hadn't discovered it from some other tech blog using it (many of which have been linked here), the steps to find it probably went from trying to fill out the actual form on Svbtle

by mnicole 14y ago
Yup. While part of what makes Svbtle original is the admin panel, the look itself is basically just Clarus, a free Tumblr theme, without the gradient. I've stood up for Dustin on other matters, but I think he's in the wrong when he tries to

I should add that if you are on OS X and know you won't be opening Photoshop files, Pixelmator has tons of great tutorials ( http://www.pixelmator.com/tutorials ) for all skill-levels and is on sale for $15 right now. It can open PSDs just

Chiming in, hello! The two or three I personally see most frequently don't seem to be aware of this thread yet.

Just as note: a lot of these tutorial sites advocate methods that make what you're trying to accomplish harder than it has to be or leaves your work (or just layers of it) in states where it is hard to manipulate thereafter. This can leave

Seriously. Don't expect me to read your verbose description; just show it to me.

Awesome, thanks so much! I should be giving it a go in the next week or so once we start our next project.

Thanks for responding! I would think so. I mean, I'd want to use it throughout the entire iterative process, so that means I'm waiting at least a week for everyone's feedback, implementing it and getting it back up there and then having the

Yeah, I'm confused as to why this was so shocking to the point where it was circulated and warranted a blog post. I've written equally as innocent "just looking to be around talented folks even if it means.." cover letters to companies I re

This may just be me, but 14 days seems kind of strict for the type of projects it is for and given the learning curve of all the parties involved like someone else mentioned. It could take two weeks before everyone on my team has even had t

Like a commenter upthread mentioned, I think it's a combination of that and people upvoting names they recognize or that the community knows as/sees as "voices of" the community. They just take their word for it given past posts, rather tha

I posed what I think is a similar question to a friend of mine that I'm designing a node.js app with. I thought that being in JavaScript, it would handle everything a lot more fluidly, like web apps such as koding.com. In reality, it's just

It's not that it fades in, it's that the way it does so loads the sidebar information first, and then awkwardly displays all of the main information staggered, but still quickly enough that the animation has no purpose. If you're going to f

Web designers should be using Illustrator or Fireworks over Photoshop.

Designers that use WYSIWYG means of developing are scary. Those of us that code because it gives us far more control and speeds up development time are not.

Dribbble suffers from this same problem too though, as evidenced by the somewhat depressing "Everyone" feed. It's more about who you know (or follow) rather than how talented you actually are. A lot of people just invite friends, co-workers

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, the quality has always been an issue.

ZURB is fantastic, and I really hope they follow through on their intentions for the service as listed in the blog post. Like other commenters here, I couldn't justify spending time on Forrst vs. Dribbble + StackOverflow because the quality

So let me get this straight. A company she'd had a bad experience with in the past tried to, in a tacky manner, engage her again by dismissing their competitor. She clearly cites why she does't use them anymore (because the company publicly

Whoa, I didn't read past the first page because of the NSFW banner ads, but what ended up happening?

Similar issue here. I love it but it starts too early and clicking the "turn off for a hour" setting all the time was just a pain. I like that it initially tries to auto-tune itself, but I'd enjoy it even more if it had a customizable sched

A more technical solution would probably do wonders for this problem - both in initial measurement and custom solutions thereafter. Even going in for a fitting won't yield you the right results, and a lot of women are just too self-consciou

Similar to the Nathan Barry situation, I felt that the Execute book (touted as a book about getting a product out the door in a week, written in a week, but not available in any other format than print for two months) was equally asking way

I'm an in-house designer at a company whose print and web design I detest, and I would hardly blame anyone for going off on a rant about it, including telling the company to get rid of their current crop of designers (which can be a part of

The awkward thing with Quartz is that the design itself is great, but the implementation and experience is a total failure in the browser. I am 100% with you on the point you're making, but Quartz makes a better example of what-not-to-do.
