Your product works. Mostly. The flows are familiar. The nav still kind of makes sense. Nothing’s technically broken. And yet, everything feels… off. This post is for product managers, founders, and leads who’ve started asking themselves: “Should we redesign?” Before you book a redesign sprint — stop. You might not need a redesign.You might need…

You know the one. The MVP built by a freelancer over a long weekend, styled with inline CSS, powered by a Google Sheet and a thousand silent prayers. And somehow — it worked. The team raised money. Got users. Found traction. It looked like hell, but it proved a point. That something about the idea…

The feature shipped. The onboarding was polished. The numbers looked fine. And then… nothing. No tickets. No replies. No praise. No complaints. No usage. Just empty sessions and quiet churn. And the worst part? Everyone in the room thought that meant success. This is a post about the signal inside that silence — and how…

Every designer, at some point, ships a button that doesn’t work. Maybe it launches a spinner that spins forever. Maybe it opens a modal promising a feature that hasn’t been built. Maybe it just… refreshes the page and hopes you don’t notice. We don’t talk about these buttons much. They’re awkward. They’re compromises. But they…

Most of your product’s worst UX failures won’t show up in analytics. They’ll show up in a support ticket from someone who accidentally backspaced their way out of a signup flow. Or rage-clicked a modal five times on a cracked screen. Or tried to use your beautifully designed pricing table through the lens of Safari…

This isn’t a pitch. It’s not a teardown. And it’s definitely not for clout. It’s a reflex. A twitch in the brain. The quiet urge to take something you admire and… move a few things around. We’re talking about unsolicited redesigns — the ones that happen in your head, on a napkin, in a Figma…

We built a tool. That’s it. That’s the post. Okay, not quite. But yes — https://curated.dnsk.work is just a simple, slightly obsessive tool we made to track the startups we keep accidentally redesigning in our heads. It’s not a lead gen gimmick. Not a case study hub. Definitely not SEO-driven (sorry, robots). Just a lovingly…

What happens when product teams try to control everything — and what real leadership in UX looks like. The final days of Pesach are about walking forward. Not escaping anymore — moving. Through the sea. Into the unknown. It’s messy, unscripted, and very human. So this is a story about control. About what happens when…

What the Exodus Can Teach Us About Breaking UX Slavery Patterns We’re deep into Pesach season. A time of freedom. Of storytelling. Of asking difficult questions. And as odd as it sounds, it’s also a perfect time to talk about UI and UX. Because the Exodus isn’t just a historical escape — it’s a metaphor.…
