I am currently trying to dust off my French skills, and one of the things I find exceedingly difficult is remembering the — to me, not being a native French speaker — seemingly arbitrary grammatical genders of nouns (I know the same is true for Danish, which I speak fluently, but with neuter gender and common gender instead of male and female gender). And since so much grammar depends on the...

I like using type scales for my designs, but usually start out by choosing font sizes more intuitively while working through the design. I then like to go through the font sizes and tweak them to fit a type scale precisely where possible. For this purpose, so far, I have manually been calculating the type scales that might fit. I thought it might be useful to have a tool that could help quickly...

I know a lot of people (myself included) use plugins for Figma, the built in features in some Adobe apps, etc. But sometimes I find it more convenient to just look up some “lorem ipsum” text to copy from the web. This is our version of an unobtrusive experience for the latter situation. Please feel free to share your first impression or advice on how we might improve it. Thank you so much!

This tool is an experiment, so please let me know if you have any good ideas or advice regarding its future direction. Thank you!

We made this color function to have screenreader support for reading out color names on the remembertostand.com web-app (Turn on screenreader and press C when on that site to hear it in action). Once we made it, we thought it might be useful to others, so we decided to share it as a stand-alone web-app and as a javascript-library.

We made this to give ourselves an aesthetic, visual reminder to get up and move every hour. After 50 minutes the triangle points upwards to remind the user to stand up, and the colors change to draw the user’s attention, if they are looking somewhere else. The duration can be changed by changing the number in the url — e.g. by changing remindEvery=50min to remindEvery=30min

Stumbled on this on the app store recently and found it very helpful for UI design and UI development, so I thought I would share it.

We made this page because we needed a quick way to get a long list of random names for use in UX mockups and UI designs, and the excellent app we normally use for this — uinames.com — was offline.
