Introducing Queue, the simplest podcast app out there. I spent the last few months using it as my daily podcast app and polishing the experience so much that I’m ready to share it with the world. (Sound on!). Here’s how it works 1/4 ⬇️

Apple needs to completely rethink the idea of the App Store, because it‘s based on the outdated idea of downloading and installing software. Tapping on a Youtube link should open the Youtube app, even if I don‘t have it installed.

Potentially controversial:. The perceived security of this type of input field is not worth the terrible experience of not being able to see what you type.

What if Arc by @browsercompany integrated share sheets for all kinds of web apps?. For example "mailto" links, Slack, Twitter, etc.

New in Queue: Sleep Timer!. Every day after 8pm, a little sleep timer button appears next to the mini player. When you start it, Queue automatically starts playing the first episode in your Queue, so you don't have to fight through menus when you're tired. 1/3

🎨 A story about how the @joinbento brand came to be. Back in early Nov 2021, we decided to pivot towards building a place to aggregate everything you are, create and sell online. After creating first concepts, we started writing down every name idea that came to mind.

We just launched personalized link previews!. We now automatically generate a miniature and simplified version of your bento page to use when shared. Whenever you make a change, it gets updated on the fly. Looking forward to a feed full of colorful mini bentos 😃.

The Queue launch last week was amazing. Tons of people signed up, left reviews, and even subscribed to the pro plan. Thank you to everyone for trying Queue, making it your daily podcast app, and for sharing all the feedback. I'm already working on the next update! 😊

@jsngr I‘ve been playing around with @createwithplay for Mac recently and it really is Xcode for Designers. You have a Figma-like UI but design with real SwiftUI components. Really feels like the future of iOS Design.

@maxrudberg I wonder if it’s also because the few extra black pixels around it allow spring animations to subtly bounce „into“ the island?.

@RobSwish Yeah making people unlearn this thing that has been common for like 30 years now is not easy. Maybe a good idea to let users toggle visibility, but start with visible as the default.

Nothing cooler than seeing people be creative on Bento and share tips with the community. And the map looks sleek 👌🏼.
Get ready for some design inspiration! . Let's dive into creating an eye-catching map view card, inspired by the creative wizards at @joinbento. ✨[THREAD]✨

@SamuelBeek The important distinction I would make is that browsers should look like an OS, not the OS like a browser. The browser innovation is how accessible it has made powerful apps, not it‘s tab based UI that was made for a completely different use case.

some people are unbelievable.
Guess what! 🤯. We just looked through this famous logo design book and discovered that a fellow swiss designer was inspired by the Bento logo, traveled back in time to the 60s and published it! 🤯😏🍱

Queues second week was even stronger than the first!. We doubled our users and almost 3x'd the amount of pro subscribers. And we landed on and were mentioned in multiple podcasts!. I'm heads down fixing bugs and adding tons of features you requested! 😊

We‘re nominated!. If you enjoyed using Bento, it would mean a lot if you would vote for us 😊.
woah!?? we're nominated for the #goldenkittyawards💥. friends, pls vote for us and spread the word: ps: if you choose 'no code' or 'product of the year' -- either would mean the world to us 🥹💜

Imagine creating a whole new idea for how we interact with computers but still acting like a browser is just a bunch of pretty looking marketing sites instead of *the* software platform of the present

Our new @joinbento Spotify widgets are even cooler than I expected. Listening to the music people share on their Bentos somehow makes you feel a little closer to them, like you're listening to the same music with them. As if you're getting to know them a bit better.

Thank you for all the nice messages everyone!. We hit the compute limit in my Supabase project which is probably the reason some of you had issues signing in with apple. Hopefully it's fixed now! 🙏.

All that detail in the lens 👌🏼. If anyone is going to bring back skeumorphism it‘s gonna be either @dennisgec or @amayustak.
I've always been a big admirer of #skeuomorphism and am lucky enough to have brought this little beauty to hundreds of thousands of users. Slowly trying to bring back this craft.

Without having tried it yet (Apple Music subscriber), I like that Spotify is trying new things to help discover music. I mean has anyone ever discovered anything inside an endless list of sideways scrollable cover art?

Granted, the underlying issue here is probably not the input field itself, but the fact that users have to deal with this super technical concept of authentication.

After more than three years, this week was my last at Trade Republic. I had the chance to work hand in hand with our CEO since the beginning and helped design *the* product at the center of a new-found popularity of stocks and ETFs.

This makes so much sense!. The platform on which all the innovation happens is also the only platform that's visually editable by users. Build a great UI on top of that and the possibilities are endless. And the folks at @browsercompany know a thing or two about great UIs. .

@juliusgehrig @browsercompany thanks :) I think once you realise that browsers really are operating systems, you can easily apply a lot of the inventions of macOS/windows from the last decades, but in a web context.
