We've worked with UK Connect for several years now and our most recent partnership saw a full re-envisioning of their identity. In our latest case study, Creative Director Pete White breaks down our approach and how we delivered this strategic rebrand. youtube.com/watch?v=EPzvWxeq…

The @BrowserCompany is bringing Swift to Windows! It'd usher in a new era of cross-platform development... bye, bye Electron!! Problem: it's a CRAZY, unfathomable idea 😬 Solution: we just hired Saleem Abdulrasool, creator of "Swift on Windows" on the Swift Core Team deets👇
When we decided to build Arc on Windows, Saleem Abdulrasool was one of our biggest inspirations. Pioneer of the space, @SwiftLang Core Team, & 11yr @llvmorg member, we wouldn't be here without his work... ...and today, we're so grateful to welcome @compnerd to @browsercompany!

Here's a quick example of what the community could be able to build with shaders + this @figma plugin...as you can see, the possibilities are endless and our outputs will not be strictly limited to just gradients. I'm all about empowering our community with math + code:

Everyone wants to start a startup. Nobody wants to build for 5 years before anyone notices. Everyone wants to be a VC. Nobody wants to wait 10 years for returns.
Everybody wants to start a blog. Nobody wants to write for 3 years before anybody starts reading. Everybody wants to start a podcast. Nobody is willing to record episodes for 2 years straight. Everybody wants to write a book. Nobody is willing to build an audience first.

Love the problem, not the solution. When it comes to sprints, our approach is to leave no stone unturned. Only when we have a clear sight of the problem can we start to think about designing and developing the product itself. #designsprints #productstrategy

Start drinking at breakfast, have a remarkably complex and massive roast dinner, involving more drinking, have a pudding that is soaked in booze that is decorated by igniting it with burning booze. Then have cake, booze, pies, booze, nuts, booze, and sleep.

Also, maybe Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram all going down at once is a good wake-up call that one company should not have THIS much power and control and influence over all of us, right?

This is a great writeup of our Persuasive UX Metrics Intensive. Will nicely describes how a simple reframing can dramatically change your UX metrics approach.
Our Lead UX Strategist, Will, dives deep on what we know (and don't know) about metrics, with some brilliant insight from Simon Sinek, the Microsoft/Apple feud, @jmspool and more. The first of two blogs on 'persuasive metrics and meaningful outcomes'. kyan.com/news/persuasive-met…
