Figma help needed! Sort of. I have some colleagues who will be using Figma for the first time soon. Do you have any Figma introductory courses or resources that you can recommend?
I specifically would like ones you know are good - from doing them or people recommending them. (I have of course used search engines myself already)

It's the simple things I like to improve in the UI. Instead of having the same colors and logic for each icon, it should be clear what have been chosen and what not.
This is one of the many things I have improved in Mastodon Bird UI. I use lists a lot. Checkmark for the added user quickly tells you what is going on. Hovering the icon changes it to red cross, so you'll know what is happening.
The change is live in the 2.0.0rc pre-release (for the upcoming 4.3.0 only).
The very talented Wayne Roger recreated a Dieter Rams clock, but can you guess which is the real deal, and which was made with Sketch? Let us know your guesses 👀
Apparently, when saving an image with Firefox running under KWin / Wayland, I am supposed to enter the filename into the window decoration (aka title bar) now.
I stand by my opinion: Client-side window decorations are a bad idea for two major reasons: They add inconsistency and make it more inconvenient to kill frozen graphical applications.
Regarding inconsistency: Other applications on my systems have a close button at the top right, drawn by the window manager. When my muscle memory guides me to click that button, I expect the application to be closed or the current dialog to be cancelled. Here I have the save button, doing quite the opposite of cancelling the current action. Apart from that, it looks completely different from every other window decoration – not to say it looks uglier either.
Regarding killing frozen applications: KWin has this nice feature to pop up a dialog asking users whether they want to kill the application, when they click on the close button and the application does not respond. This obviously cannot work with client side decorations. While that's just an inconvenience to me, it might be a bigger problem for novice users.
#hireme I'm an iOS/macOS developer with more than 10+ years of software development experience (in different development areas). I've ~3 years of experience in #AppKit, #UIKit, and #SwiftUI, #uidesign and system design. I appreciate collaboration and team work (in the real sense).
I'm open for both remote and onsite (hybrid) positions. I would appreciate if you could boost this post, I'm in critical need for a job at the moment.
Trying to decide between error message summary format.
First has message at top. Page would scroll up on form submit.
Second has message show right above buttons.
Button container sticks to bottom of screen on scroll.
I like the message showing right above buttons because you'd see it right where you clicked but concerned it would cover too much of the page, especially on mobile.
