Before you all clicked πŸ€·β€β™‚wtf is Kanban, here is a good article to get you familiar.

In short, its a thing in management to visualize development and track progressπŸ‘Œ
In fact, if you want to learn more on Agile technologies. Understand the difference between Kanban and Scrum, realise that XP is not just Microsoft's OS shoot for πŸ€·β€β™‚.

Just a robot Adam wandering around😏 and you are saying React is toughπŸ€·β€β™‚

βšͺοΈπŸ”΅Framer X - is a new design tool that is currently in beta.

It can help in creation of responsive, animated designs..

Haven't tried yet, but their videos look sleek.

react-device-detect - an interesting tool πŸ•Ή to easily identify which device your user access the page from.

Works perfectly in React and can really simplify your codeπŸ‘.

πŸ‘ŒThe easiest way is to wrap your JSX components in '<BrowserView> ... <BrowserView/> and that will be only shown on a desktop.

For a bit more real cases, where the same components will need to appear on both: mobile and desktop, but have to be different somehow - you can easily work with ternary operator like:

 {isBrowser 
? <YourBrowserComponent/>
: <YourMobileComponent/> }


The isBrowser will return true if the user access your page from the desktop.

Have a look!

How can something so cool and beautiful be so useless in UX practices?πŸ˜”
​​I like thinking on useful design patterns/decisions that can simplify your user's life by making small changes.

Have a look at progressive hover effects that I posted before.

Here is another pattern I found that made me think 'πŸ€”hm, that make sense'.

πŸ’‘'Previous sign in help' on spectrum.chat website.

☝️First of all, they don't even give you a rudimentary option to sign in with an email and password. Seriously, typing in your email, waiting for a confirm link in your inbox or simply looking through all that spam is ridiculous.

You are more than likely to use google, fb, twitter, github, Instagram or even telegram and having those as a signup options are more than sensible.

πŸ’ŽAnother thing, is that they remember which one you previously used. So if you signed in with google and then after a while logged out - it will remind you your previous option.

That makes total sense as I might think 'Damn, which one I used last time google or fb?'.

Cool that some people implement such things and constantly try to make our lives easier as ⏳ time is everything!

PS it does use cookies though. So another +1 in cookies vs sessions debate.

Feel free to share with @masant1 any interesting design patterns you found amusing.
​​Some of you might have seen a post on how to create the best design.

Found another great illustrative examples for you and mistakes to avoid in πŸ–₯ webpage design and ✏️ article design (that relates practically to everyone who ever used Word).

Definitely have a look at the article, at least scroll through pictures to get the main idea as I still see those mistakes very often.

Common webpage design mistakes

Below will πŸ“Œ include a selection of the main ones for your convenience.
🚫How to avoid main mistakes:

πŸ”Ή Break down content in logical parts (e.g. increase padding to make it more visual or increase coloured blocks)

πŸ”Ή Avoid low contrast image with the text (increase contrast for better readability)

πŸ”Ή Don't throw in too many design and typographic styles (normally 3 is enough and looks neat)

πŸ”Ή Try to avoid too much text in narrow columns (it looks like you can't make your mind, be precise)

πŸ”Ή Your text on a pic background shouldn't overlap important parts (e.g. faces, find a monotone area on the pic for the text)

πŸ”Ή Work with hierarchy (titles should be bolder or bigger than normal text, but don't overdo it and don't make your titles too long)

πŸ”Ή Your navbar needs to be neat and create a 'freedom feeling', don't throw in emails, phone numbers or anything else that can be put in a footer

✊ Hope it helps you to create better designs (or get constructive arguments to use with your designers)
Like this one. Such a common, but easy thing to avoid πŸ€·β€β™‚
β€‹β€‹πŸ’³ Card Component

Bootstrap, Material UI, Bulma - all have default card components.

You have seen those pretty much everywhere all over the web πŸ–₯.

Slack, GitHub, Stripe, Webflow, Atlassian all use it heavily and have their personal card looks.

Sometimes the shadow ☁️ and corners are different, sometimes the stripe πŸ’ˆat the top/side/bottom.

It is really the question of preference and to make it easier, there is an awesome tool called card.surge.sh πŸ”₯

It allows you to nicely customise the card and provides the code snippet.

For lazy people like myself there is a selection of different styles from Slack, Webflow etc

Have a glance πŸ‘“
Some of you have asked for the code snippet of this

While I don't see any good reason to implement this apart from pranking your users or learning, I will try to replicate it.

If someone wants to see it vote for 🀝
If you want to replicate this yourself, give me a shout, we will test it together and share here πŸ‘

I have recently questioned myself on best ways to implement drag and drop functionalities.

Many clients are seeing it as a 5min deal or 'just make it moveable'.

Sounds so simple, isn't it?πŸ€·β€β™‚

Decided to share a few resources I found along the way.

Since I currently work with React, the below resources are mostly linked to it. However, I am also sharing JS and HTML5 ways.

πŸ¦‡React-dragula - an official react wrapper for React. The simpliest solution so far. Dragular - is the same thing for those who wants to stay independent of React.

React-beautiful-dnd - a more customisable approach, which has better animation, works with mobile and horizontal DnD. As a compromise, it is a bit harder to implement, but the guys did an awesome free video tutorial that even includes React set up. Plus have a look at their examples

If you the person who needs max flexibility, don't look any further React-dnd is probably the most customisable out of all.

And finally, for the oldschool people here HTML5 version its deadly customisable, but as you can guess you will have to spent some time writing it from scratch.

Now you can have your own Trello board and show off to your friendsπŸ˜‰.

​​If you somehow missed it from other sources, here is a great tool to end up 'which font to use' discussion.

Fonts that most successful start ups are using icons8.com

A very thorough, well written comparison of building the same thing in React and Vue.

If you wondered how different are those two, have a quick read.
