Just found Weird Folders by @chusmargallo and it's actually fire.
Custom folder icons that don't look like they're from old era.
Finally want to organize my mac weirdfolders.com

I gave a client $1,200 of free work.
They didn't steal it.
I handed it to them.
No deposit. No qualifying call. No real commitment on their end.
Just me, moving fast, trusting vibes.
Three weeks of building. Then silence.
When they finally replied, six months later, they'd changed direction entirely.
The work meant nothing to anyone but me.
That was the last time I started a project without a deposit.
The last time I wrote a proposal without asking one question first.
The last time I quoted a price before I understood the scope.
I wrote the whole thing down so I'd never forget it.

I bookmarked these 7 sites last year.
Saw 1,000 websites across all of them.
Here's what changed my design sense:
- @siteinspire (Site Inspire): constraint-based design (real products work harder)
- @typewolf (Typewolf): font choices matter more than people admit
- Site of Sites: international perspective (US design is narrow)
- @maxibestofone (Maxibestof): unpolished is underrated
- @footrdesign (Footer.design): details are the whole thing
- @fwa (TheFWA): historical context (2008 web design isn't stupid, it's data)
- @awwwards (Awwwards): portfolio culture is a real thing (and it's toxic sometimes)
Which one should I live on instead?
(genuinely asking, I rotate every month)

where do you actually get inspired?
i live on these:
- siteinspire.com — no algorithm, just good work
- typewolf.com — typography obsession fuel
- siteofsites.co — the hidden gems live here
- maxibestof.one — unhinged in the best way
- footer.design — yes, FOOTERS deserve their own site
- thefwa.com — the classics
- awwwards.com — guilty pleasure, sue me
but i know i'm missing stuff. drop your go-to in the replies. genuinely collecting bookmarks.

I won’t be posting for a while.
Not because I’m quitting.
Not because I disappeared.
But because I’m tired of creating just to stay visible.
For the rest of this month, and maybe the next, I’m stepping away from posting and putting all that energy back into the work itself.
I’ll still be here.
Watching.
Learning.
Studying.
Building in silence.
No rushed uploads.
No “algorithm maintenance.”
No posting for validation.
No showing unfinished thoughts just to prove I’m active.
Just deep work behind the scenes.
And when I come back, I don’t want to pick up where I left off.
I want the gap between the old me and the new me to be obvious.
Sharper taste.
Better execution.
Stronger ideas.
More intentional work.
More things worth feeling.
Hopefully my return won’t need an announcement.
The work will say it for me.
Until then,
keep making things,
keep sharing your process,
keep learning in public.
See you soon 🤝🫶

Juniors: “looks good lol” → ship
Seniors: “why the fuck did it do this?” → actually design
AI output is not your final work bro. Break it.

Sometimes the best hero decision is removing things.
Less noise
Clearer message
Stronger CTA
That’s what I focused on here.
It’s v1, so I know there are plenty of things that could be improved, but the message is clear, and that’s what matters most right now.

🚨 Woke up to a Medium violation notice on my account:
No explanation. No prior warning.
Let me be clear, I’m not looking for random guesses or copied advice.
I need a response from someone at @Medium who can actually explain:
→ What triggered this
→ Whether it’s reversible
→ What needs to be fixed
I’m ready to act immediately, but I need accurate direction, not assumptions.
If someone from Medium can look into this, I’d appreciate it.

Someone DM’d me this:
“When a project isn’t truly ready yet, what do you usually chase first, content, clarity, constraints, or approvals?”
My answer is boring but honest:
Almost all projects don’t go wrong because of design or execution.
They fail because nobody agrees on what “done” actually means.
So people start building in the dark and call it “progress”.

My process never really changes:
1. research (product market reality check)
2. inspiration (if it exists, if not, skip it)
3. wireframes (pure structure, no decoration)
4. first draft
5. iterations
6. final

Timelines vary, 2 days, 2 weeks, whatever.
Doesn’t matter.
What matters is this:
roadmap first. execution second. no exceptions.
Everything else is just noise dressed as progress.
