Paid Parking is a detriment to UX
Paying for parking is a hindrance to the user experience. Automatic parking payment machines are annoying.
Do you know what I mean?
They reject folded bills and cancel transactions before you can find the right bill. So you have to carry around coins. You have to take care of the ticket. And all this hassle for US$2 per car?
We should view parking as an opportunity to reduce friction for the customer to come and shop. Parking should be a convenience, priced in the products and services.
Indeed, there are some use cases where paid parking makes sense. But be careful, it should not turn into an obstacle for customers to come and shop.
Science, Programming & Design
TLDR Newletter
TLDR is an amazing daily newsletter. It includes links with summaries to interesting articles about Science, Programming and Design. I like it so much that I copied the title of this section. I enjoy reading it even when most of its topics are beyond my understanding. To achieve progress, it is important to read more about science and less about politics.
How to use AI Art and ChatGPT to Create Insane Web Designs
This guy shows how he copies cool web designs from Dribbble and remixes them in MidJourney. Then he crops the assets using Photoshop. He uses ChatGPT to create the text content for the website. Finally he dumps everything into EditorX, a website drag-and-drop builder.
Twtitter should add support for code snippets
What is twitter waiting for? Supporting code snippets should be easy. Many developers share code in screenshots taken with Carbon or Xnapper. The downside is that it isn't optimal for mobile view.
Twitter, cater one of your strongest userbase.
