This really is a cool overview of #UX and #UI tools - not only for design research actually but also actual design. Maybe in next year's edition you could be there @penpot 😉 🤞

Now that I have a pen display coming so I can use desktop software mouse & keyboard free, one of the first things I’m going to try is @penpot and I am SUPER excited about it.

Before RSI unceremoniously booted me off my Linux system, UI design was one of my very last non-FOSS sticking points, and I was using a volunteer made desktop wrapper around Figma. No more!

I’d really like to put together some tutorials showing people and the system once I get to know it too. Can’t wait!

@penpot which can be completed with https://bioicons.com/ !

WOW!
@stephaniewalter’s website is both stunning and super light.
All those animations and images are 238KB to download and 476KB after uncompressed. This website rightfully deserve its #512kbclub blue badge

On Mastodon, you can add up to four items (text, links or emoji) to your profile using a feature called "Metadata".

Access it by going to:

Preferences > Profile > Appearance > Profile Metadata (click "Save Changes" when you have finished editing)

If you are adding a link, remember to include https:// at the beginning, so that it works properly and is clickable.

You can be creative with Metadata, for example "Pizza" as a label and 🍍 as content.
