THREAD: This morning we’re announcing that @Figma has entered into an agreement to be acquired by @Adobe ! More information here: figma.com/blog/a-new-collabo… (1/9)
We’ve come across a lot of mature products over our many years in UX, and can sadly say that the world is full of perfectly good products that are stagnating in β€˜business as usual’ mode. Read all about breaking from BAU in our latest article. ➑ buff.ly/3Dphpwm
Best icebreaker question ever.

This right here is DA BOMB. Anything that makes our accessibility champion-in-chief @burntcustard go 'yes yes yes!!' gets a strong lighthouse seal of approval.

Inspired by @uxderrick's excellent talk at @figma's #config2022, we decided to share our knowledge about launching products in new markets. The TL;DR is that you're going to need to leave your assumptions at home! buff.ly/3IhbABN #uxdesign #figma #productdesign

In product and service design, the absence of user research has a technical name: Guessing.

Hey product people (like party people but cooler), fancy a free, online community event where you can get πŸ‘€ on your biggest design conundrums and learn how pros at big hitters would tackle them? You're going to love ManyHands! wearemanyhands.com/ #ux #uxdesign #productdesign

How can you make something meaningful without knowing how it’s going to be used? You can't! We dived into how Rwandans bank in order to make the best possible product for @BankofKigali πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ό buff.ly/3xhD8BE
Just added some nifty continuous integration using axe (thanks @dequesystems!) and @____lighthouse (the other one πŸ˜‰). Issues are flagged and deployment is blocked if any tests fail, so there's less chance of accessibility mishaps going live. Seems relevant for #GAAD2022 πŸ™Œ
The image shows what happens if a dev tries to merge to master with accessibility errors. An alert reads 'some checks were not successful', and below it shows a cross next to axe CI. Lighthouse CI has passed, and has a tick. Gold-coloured text reads 'required statuses must pass before merging', and there is a tick box which would allow admins to merge without waiting for requirements to be met - this is highlighted in red.

On reflection, running our internal Figma standards session just before all these announcements was unwise...
Hurray!
