I've spent years doing UI, UX, and graphic design. I want to start building some web stuff myself, but I'm daunted by the steep learning curve. HTML and CSS come pretty easy, and I understand the fundamentals of flex. Jumping into this side of things isn't so bad.

But I'm daunted as shit by JS. Suffering through the initial Hello World tutorial sounds brutal, and even beyond JS, merely setting up and maintaining a workspace (vscode, the terminal, installing packages, git, etc.) looks painful.

Anybody know of a decent video course with a tolerable instructor and a focus on modern techniques (flex-centric, good JS framework)?

You can use Fastapi with fasthtml and htmx and deploy it on a Webserver.
That way you can avoid a lot of js.

Also svelte makes a lot easier.

Also you can use Claude sonnet 3.5 to auto-generate html js and css for you.


In figma and lunacy you can copy the css. So just do the styling of components there and copy it (for some cases)


Git does not require you to use the terminal, just use the git client in vscode. It is mostly self explanatory.

Also "fork" (a bit more advanced) and "github desktop" are easy to use git clients.

I learned by just doing it. Maybe it helps that I started in the 90s with the limits of web design. I love designing but I can't draw or paint or anything so coding is the only way to make visual designs for me so I spend time building sites and things as just progress. I suggest just following tutorials and copying them and trying to change one variable at a time and see the results as you go. Then have a page in mind and try to recreate it. Until recently I didn't know how to create a mobile version of a website but I still managed. Now I have my site and I made a music player for it, and I am designing skins. It seems daunting but it's not that hard. Javascript is a real bitch but there's ton of resources.

It's ugly. It's the ugliest shit you could possibly make.
99% of homophobia is due to this abomination. If the gay flag were cool, if the colors actually complemented each other, if it had some cool lesbian animal symbolism or something like that people would LOVE the gays.
I try to tell this to people but they're in denial

Basically true.
The heavy obnoxious branding seems like it helped form gay communities by being able to signal environments that are mostly gay.
But it backfires on them when every perverse or messed up thing that happens gets associated with this branding.
>>457176

homophobia is because faggot sex is disgusting and most homos are hardcore degenerates
we had the right balance when homos got bullied in public so they let their shit in the bedroom with other fags
and they didn't get hanged or put in a loony bin
now we have people proudly displaying their shit fetish while wearing full latex in public
trannies are just the cherry on the top for normies
nothing to do with the rainbow flag

>>457131
It looks stupid due to the association with the people who use it, and the bright colors of products made for children. If there was a culture that used bright colors as warning symbol like poisonous animals, or if it was associated with warriors, then it would look badass but due to how it is used by western culture it looks stupid and childlike.

Layman's guess, it's the weird color scheme, white, pastel pink & deep Wizard of Oz Emerald City Green, juxtaposed with the subject of the piece apparently floating in some lonely black void. Which in turn may trigger the innate fear of eternal oblivion or being forever lost in an unreachable part of space.

second thing i would like to see is a more detailed panel that describes what overrides have been set on an instance. there's the "reset changes" or "reset text styles", etc. options in the dropdown which work but i would like to see all overrides and what properties they effected on a specific instance

third thing is plugins like "selective surgery" and "select siblings in auto layout" to be built into figma, they're so incredibly useful when making bulk changes

fourth thing is when i select multiple nested instances for some reason all the properties go away? for what purpose???

fifth thing is some built in function for exporting/importing local variables as a tabular format or json, plugins are buggy for this purpose

sixth thing why the fuck when i set a border color on a section does the section title not adopt the color of the border, it has to be the background color for some reason. like if i want a blue section title i have to make the entire section background blue, who would ever want that?

seventh thing please add percentage widths i'm fucking begging

eighth thing why even call "constrain proportions" that if the second you put it in an auto layout it doesn't work

oh yeah eleventh thing, give me a way to use a previous version of a plugin
i'm fucking tired of plugin authors releasing a buggy update that breaks my ability to use a plugin i need to get my job done and they take WEEKS to fix it

twelfth thing allow us to make non clickable section titles in the pages panel

thirteenth thing as a design system author it sucks having to lay out all my components, with documentation, statuses, etc. i just wish there could be a more automated way of doing this that isn't running a shit ton of plugins
like tools like storybook and knapsack allow you to programmatically make design system documentation websites i don't see why figma couldn't especially since there's some of that functionality built into dev mode

feels basic but i only use it to make 2cad drawings to design carpentry bits as adobe is pants for CAD and i dont have any other scale drawing software
figma works fairly well to plot things out accurately, draw shapes to scale and for calculating builds more whilst allowing for alterations as im developing the idea and being able to present a design to the end client,
could open up a huge new potential user base in 2d cad

Suggestions...
S.1 - when you click place a square it should automatically focus input Dimensions (W value) rather than clicking into it, seems fairly sensible i just placed a square and it autos to 100x100 im going to want to input values

S.2 - the pen tool needs a readout of plot values when placing a vector point (rather than guessing then having to adjust all the values after)

S.3 - the align tool has no anchor point so is good to side 2 objects but then always needs to be re-positioned. Make a align left move to the left most object etc. like in other software

S.4 an ability to pull out or annotate dimensions layer would be good tho i realize this is not actually cad software

Former designer at Bloomberg Businessweek and The New York Times. Now, she does "design goodness" for Homer, Frank Ocean's design magazine.

She apparently got ahead being a minority woman who makes designs that "challenges the power old, white men have over every day [non-white] people," and people laud her for it.

Is she the real deal or just a DEI LARP?

>you wouldn't get anywhere near as close
once you'll get a bit older, you're going to realize that in the design industry (and a lot of other areas) your design skills are only about 50 to 70% important for how far you're going to get

You need very good communication and sale skills as well. In fact, if you're very charismatic and good at talking, you'll probably need even less than 50% design skills.
>>
>>457789
95% of designers are hacks.

Most of the skilled ones fall into other fields that pay more and allow them to create more interesting things, still using their design skills, but as one of many disciplines.

Really?! Show me one job ad that doesn't mention "Applicants without a portfolio will not be considered for this role." Look at her website right now, and tell me honestly—would you pay someone like her to be in charge of the art department at your company? What good is a talker who can't do the walking? This isn't a salesman position. It seems that all of you are so cucked that you can't even dare to say the truth out loud: she's a DEI employee!

this is your brain on 24/7 fox news and /pol/ brainrot

this isn't about me hiring her. it's about the fact that she can get hired as an art director in a shitload of big companies, by using her mediocre portfolio + amazing sales skills

CEOs, COOs, HR departments and so on, don't know shit about design. if you show them your good portfolio, but act like a weird antisocial incel, you bet your ass they'll go with her, who's gonna use buzzwords to describe how her designs speak to the zoomer consumer minds

>Who needs originality

Originality in a corporate ID symbology only matters when you are trying to set yourself apart from larger established competitors. When you ARE the largest established player in your space (as all of the companies in the OPs image arguably are) there's little if any value to be gained from trying to be different for its own sake.
The companies in that image that used the quirky, lighthearted "fun" look were all originally using it to identify as something other than the staid, serious, powerful corporate blocs they were up against...it was a way of thumbing their noses at the idea that you had to look, act and *be* one of them to take them on. It's a very astute approach at that start up phase when unproven investment vehicles rely more on "beat the system" ideology and gambling on a long shot to attract money.

Once they gained major market share and clout in their space they took on the same "serious" trappings as the earlier corporate blocs they displaced because that's what is expected of them by investors who now have something concrete to lose if they continue on the more radical and risky path of being upsetters.
Nobody wants or needs to upset a space they virtually own.
