Their words
that's a good example, I think, of so much of design is just iteration and discovery. I might have an intent, but stumbling upon something like this is is just sticking with it, right? And just going like one more iteration.

Their words
you should be using these new technologies to explore more broadly and go deeper as a result, not just try to do more things or other things, but take what you have and really distill it, refine it, again to its essence, and that's how you make something great.

Their words
Controversial statement, I think Figma is still really important, but I think what most people use it for is like wrong. The problem with trying to use it to dial in things at full fidelity in Figma is Figma's a lie. It's not your actual code base.

Building intuition for what works and what does not comes from taking a lot of shots at the goal.Their words

what do you do with that time? That's where I think designers are uniquely valuable in terms of being able to really think about and push like, okay, what would the ultimate version of this experience be?

After exploring a range of options, reaching a world-class level of execution means going deep on one that works.Their words
once you have one that feels like it works, if what your goal is is to demonstrate what I hope or what I think of as like a a bar setting or like kind of a world class level of execution, you just have to go deep.

Their words
that builds trust, that builds like perceived value, your affinity to this product increases because it works just a little bit better or differently than you expect it to. And you can apply that everywhere, right? SaaS products, fintech products, whatever it is.
-
Their words
that's like really the purest form of of design, where they're solving a problem, which is like, great, you need to eat food, we need to make food for you, and you pay us for that food. But, they're wrapping it in an experience that makes it feel so unique and so differentiated.
-
Their words
you should be fighting for what you think is right, not trusting anyone else. Cuz if you do, you're going to dilute that idea and it's going to be worse, most likely.
-
Their words
I think that's what makes everything we think of as great design, great design, is it's just really distilled and concentrated into what makes it great, right? And everything else that's not important, that's a nice-to-have, cut that, right?

It is probably hard for a designer to edit their work too much, even though a sauce can be reduced too far.Their words
I think it would be hard for you as a designer to edit your work too much. It's like you're cooking a sauce, right? And you're trying to reduce it, you're trying to concentrate flavor and make it thicker. You can take it too far in, you know, a cooking world, but in the design world, I'm not sure that you can.

Making something as well as you can and as simply as you can sums up much of what great design is.Their words
just make it as well as you can and make it as simple as you can. And I think that sums up so much of what great design is in a lot of ways
-
Their words
what I think we should all be trying to push towards now that we have tools that help us like go, you know, further, and we can get there faster, and we can explore more surface area. And we should use them for things like this. So, instead of creating more scope, right, how do we take the limited amount of scope that is really essential and just execute it to a bar that, you know, folks maybe haven't have never seen before

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
