This week's #favoritefavorites is brought to you by @raycastapp

My favorite features & settings ๐Ÿ‘‡

It's important to surround yourself with good design. Ask yourself the hard questions: What works? What could be improved?

I came across this design on @dribbble: dribbble.com/shots/15501287โ€ฆ Let's talk about it.

๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป 1/16 Dashboards are hard:
- Summarizing *a lot* of info in one place
- Info needs to be easily digestible
- Different people prioritize info differently depending on their use case

This dashboard does a *great* job of taking all those things into consideration

Found this on @dribbble dribbble.com/shots/15653593โ€ฆ

Things I like:
- Subtle texture in the background
- Mix of line illustrations w/ photography. I do this a lot in my work to give the design a more "organic" feel and help lead the eye

๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป 1/5 Image Where this design ultimately fails (and it's BIG): It took me **way too long** to realize this site is promoting paying through your watch. It didn't occur to me until I saw the caption: "The fastest way to pay without-touch."
