Probably something others have noted before, but I feel like excessive use of slider controls is the sign of an AI designed interface.
Like sliders are to AI-designed UI as em dashes were to genAI text. Nothing against sliders (nor em dashes); both have their use. But an interface with basically nothing but a dozen slider controls? Not great.
CSS tip: make sure that selected text remains readable. Style `::selection` to at least disable text effects like drop shadows, gradient fills, etc.
A decent chunk of your users treat text selection as a reading aid, highlighting words or paragraphs to keep track of their position in the text.
I actually did a New Year’s goal thing and wrote a blog post this evening! I wrote about some of the music, books, shows, and film I enjoyed in 2025.
I think the theme appears to have been: angry punk/ metal, escapist fantasy reading, and political allegory in film. I mean, I enjoy those things in a normal year but man did they really help in 2025.
