I wish I could use the Apple Pencil Pro with the Mac. They should make a Magic Trackpad Pro in 11” size that’s compatible with the pencil.

New iPad Pro looks slick but expensive and I’m not tempted to upgrade from my 2018.

If you’re in Sweden, buy my iPod gen 3 and iMac G5. They mostly just need a new home ❤️

✍️ For Great App Icons, Iteration Makes All the Difference https://blog.applaudstud.io/for-great-app-icons-iteration-makes-all-the-difference/

Made a first version of my iOS App Icon Template for Figma. Change your icon once and see it in all these contexts. You can also easily swap in your App Store screenshots to ensure it harmonizes with your icon.

The main reason I keep this separate from my App Store template is that App Store uses RGB color space for assets, but you want to see your icon if full P3 glory. There's also a simplicity to focusing on the icon without too much else going on.

✏️ Design systems are great to get your teams to deliver consistent experiences. But you need to be able brake the rules to keep your guidelines healthy. Apple does this regularly. Most recently with Sports, Journal and a controversial Home icon. https://blog.applaudstud.io/design-systems-are-meant-to-be-broken/

Office 3D modeling has derailed into a full UI kit for quick mockups inside of Figma with options such as multiple desk sizes, Studio Displays on/off toggles. I can then visualize floor plans with realistic renders in Cinema 4D Redshift. Coworkers said I've officially ‘lost it’.

I wrote another blog post! Mostly a way for me to share some delicious UI, with plenty of explanation of the thinking that went into it. If you like it, share it!

Also something that I do when I have no client work; make a 3D model of the Stockholm office and try different interior decorations. (hint: I'm available for work 👉 https://applaudstud.io)

Stuff I spend time on when I don’t have a client project… draw an icon, 3D model that icon, then start animating it. Turns out it’s not all in vain though, as I wrote about here: https://blog.applaudstud.io/thoughtful-apps-have-a-story-and-a-launch-trailer/

I thoroughly enjoyed working on Quill. Crafting the Mac app icon and producing the accompanying video was an experience of pure delight. https://mastodon.social/@applaud/111957285294014812

Can visionOS tabs have badges on them?

Sometimes an app has a really core experience that needs to be excellent. Kalkyl is such an app. The button presses of this calculator were design to be incredibly satisfying, making it a joy to use. It makes the default calculator app feel rigid and dull.
