I’ve noticed that I get the most satisfaction from systemic change. For example, I added a new feature, fixed something on the site, drew a logo, corporate identity or a key interface element. These are changes that affect not one element (section) of the system, but the entire system as a whole or its larger part (section, branch).

Ivan shared a useful cheat code on his Twitter:

I identify as the holder of the correct opinion in every discussion, so disagreeing with me is literally violence against me and my identity.

What now, bigots?

No takesy-backsies, I’m right times infinity.

I decided to go to the web version of Threads , but did not expect to see anything new - “Subscribe!”, buttons and menus, more buttons, an important switch, and a lot of important legal information.

But I’m shocked, honestly!

Threads: feed
Home screen. Feed.
Threads: profile
Profile
Threads: creating a message
Creating a message
Here, for comparison, is what I see when I go to the X (Twitter) web interface.

Twitter: main screen
Everything is here at once: creating a message (otherwise I might go somewhere), a feed, recommendations, a menu (so you don’t miss), messages, a call to subscribe, legal information (so you don’t get bored).

Unfortunately, I think that it won’t be this good for long and soon designers will start adding more and more of everything. Now minimalism supports the main function of Threads - it allows you to read and write - design in the user’s world. I can see how quickly Meta will spoil it.

Yesterday, while archiving the finished project, I deleted it (spoiler - it’s not so bad). Fatigue, not a very good mood after a rainy autumn evening walk - all this is not my fault. Inattention is to blame. The irony is that I archived the project to a second disk for greater safety 😆.

At first I described everything in detail, but then I thought that the importance of this note is not in the details of the error, but in the fact that the error helps. Such situations remind you that you need to be careful and stop emptying the trash automatically.

Final: everything is fine with the project files - the most important ones were restored. +100 to attentiveness.

If anyone doesn’t remember, this is what the Lebedev Studio logos looked like a long time ago (on the left) and recently (on the right). Barcode styling, continuity - everything is cool!

And now the new episode of the series “Degradation” - (Spoiler alert!) everyone is exchanging good logos for dull shit. But I sincerely don’t understand why.

I enjoy watching people. While the black bird circles overhead, people remain themselves — interesting and boring, sad and happy, smart and dumb, different and similar… we.
