Design Diary 17

Today I found that I kept hitting on the theme of building "friendly" designs, which are kind and encouraging to my users.

Firstly, in realizing that coloring the goal lowering button red was a subtle attack of folks choosing to better match the app to their fitness goals.

Secondly, finding that UISwitches can be really anxiety producing and that a clearly worded segmented control can much more clearly communicate what will happen when pressed.

Shitposts are important ecosystem barometers for banter; an early warning guidepost to approaching the maximal allowed discourse.
Without shitposts, you have no constantly governed North Star in your community because you have no measure of its distance – only shallow and stricting fear of nonconformity. Like fish that choke without oxygen from water burbling over brooks, without shitposts your dreams of a blooming dialogue will dry into a wasteland.

(Edit: Shitpost in this instance is a Twitter term for out-of context random posting without a larger purpose or theme. Think dril)
