Hey all!

I’m a junior designer and I've been getting some traffic to my landing page (around 63 unique visitors in the last month, mostly from Instagram) but zero waitlist signups. Average session is 3+ minutes so I guess people are reading, but something's stopping them from converting.

Context: Gatherly is a social event planning app for adults who want to actually see their friends in person, not another algorithmic feed.

Landing page: Gatherly BETA

Honest question: what's stopping you from signing up? Is it the copy, the design, the value prop, the trust signals, the form itself? Brutal feedback welcome!

I'd rather hear it now than keep wondering.

I did a UX course from an institute in my city and got an internship in that same place. And it is ending this August.

I got into all this right after 12th, I'm not even doing any degree. All I'll have is a ux certificate with 1 year internship experience. I don't even have a portfolio, and my seniors said that I can't even include the projects I did in my portfolio bcoz of some fckin NDA. I don't wanna go to college now that I already have an intership.
NOW WHAT SHOULD I EVEN DO??? I'M SO FCKIN CONFUSED RIGHT NOW.

I've only been using figma for almost 2 years. Now, I'm all over the place like -
Should I learn the AI stuff like claude code and the design md stuff? (I just use basic AI now like lovable, etc.)
, Should I also learn some coding (only html, css and js)?
, Should I read these books everyone keeps talking about (I already bought "design of everyday things" but only read like 20 pages)
' Or should I just make my portfolio with some dummy projects and start job hunting?? I have a fear that a portfolio with no degree and dummy projects will obviously get rejected 😭.

IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO SURVIVE IN THIS SITUATION. PLEASE IF ANYBODY CAN GUIDE ME OR GIVE ME SOME ROADMAP OR EVEN TELL ME WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT STPES. IT FEELS LIKE I'M LOOKING INTO A LITERAL VOID.

I am stuck!!

I did some UX discovery for a feature that was not online beforehand, we brought it online, in doing so we had to keep legal team of the org as stakeholders, now the problem is they did not point out a particular issue earlier but now once the feature is live, they came back with it.

My issue is - my product manager is blaming it on me, that i was at fault, two things here - firstly, i did not take it in mail from him that he has signed it off, which i agree to and have learned my lessons, secondly that I did mention it to him before but he missed it completely, now he is backing off and I am just stuck in trying to convince my product that it was indeed signed off from them and they did not paid attention, now it all is coming back to me that i did not do discovery correctly or i am not able to communicate, urghhhh I am unable to sleep because of this, and now this has escalated to another level where my design manager is involved.

I don't know how do i defend myself here :/

Hey friends, I'm looking for some resources to find good UX patterns for tablet designs. I'm particularly researching whether it's appropriate to use a list view or a table view on a tablet but also more broadly native app tablet designs in general. I've been using Mobbin for mobile app design inspiration but not sure where to go for tablets.

I found that 40% of users reach our core feature through a path we never designed. They go from notifications to a deep linked screen then use back button to reach something that isn't even in the normal nav hierarchy. Works fine through this accidental path, nobody complained but our assumptions about feature discovery are completely wrong.

Currently piecing flows together manually from event sequences in a spreadsheet. Im looking for something that maps real user paths automatically.

Hello everyone,
I’m relatively new to UX/UI design, and most of the freelance projects I’ve worked on were either SaaS products built from scratch or early-stage products needing redesigns. Until now, my process has mainly been based on competitor analysis, UX principles, and product reasoning.

Recently, I got hired to do a UX audit and redesign for a more established SaaS product with existing users, and it’s my first time working in this kind of context. I’m trying to understand what the real-world UX process looks like here.

Should I start by asking for analytics, heatmaps, session recordings, support feedback, or other user behavior data so the audit becomes more data-informed? Or is it still common to rely mostly on heuristic evaluation and UX reasoning?

I’d really appreciate advice from people who’ve worked on established SaaS products and how they usually approach identifying problems and deciding on UX solutions

How do you categorise or identify which company's design assessment to do, because im exhausted doing their work and then publishing all under tight guidelines only to get ghosted.

yes ghosted, not even a " sorry youre out " even after asking multiple times.

i know the basics like do some research on companies, i do and most of the times they are in very early / immature stage, and i think its fine because for a starting position with quite low experience i dont expect any big companies to hire me. although i maybe wrong thats why asking for some clarity here, how should i approach this?

Hey everyone!

My name is Sonja, I'm an graphic designer from Austria and currently working on my bachelor's thesis.

My topic: I'm designing a visual toolkit to make WCAG 2.2 requirements more accessible and actionable – aimed at agency staff regardless of their role or prior knowledge, with the goal of building real awareness for inclusive design in everyday work.

I'd love to hear your take: Do you also find that information on accessible design is scattered across way too many sources, guidelines, and checklists – often contradicting each other or hard to navigate? And does anyone else feel that the WCAG criteria on the W3C website (https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22), while technically thorough, are just not very intuitive or brain-friendly for practical use?

Any experiences, frustrations, or opinions are very welcome – this kind of input genuinely helps me shape the toolkit around real needs. And once it's finished, I'll happily share it here! 🙏

Hello guys, I was thinking on buying a Macbook Air but I’m unsure on what to buy.

I’m a Junior UX Designer & Teaching Assistant so I would mainly use it for Figma and Adobe. I also like to mess around with creative tools and maybe some front end dev. I would also be using Microsoft Office quite a bit.

I was looking for a good long lasting, lightweight option (I travel back and forth to my home country) that wasn’t too expensive but now I’m unsure on what Macbook Air to get.

These are my options:

New Macbook Air M5 13”:
10CPU, 8GPU, 16GB, 512GB SSD
(£999 with education savings discount)

Apple Refurbished Macbook Air M4 13”:
10CPU, 10GPU, 16GB, 512GB SSD
(£849)

Apple Refurbished Macbook Air M4 13”:
10CPU, 10GPU, 24GB, 512GB SSD
(£1019)

What would you guys recommend? I have a bigger and heavier windows laptop that I can also use but Adobe was extremely slow and it’s very heavy so I was thinking on upgrading. I also have an iPhone and an iPad so Macbook made sense because of this too

I have to revamp these onboarding flow of an ai edtech platform, and im just so so stuck. I'd really appreciate if someone helps me in figuring out what should I do for this task. This is for a v imp assignment! Please helpppp!

FrameSnap is a Chrome extension. One click captures any web page → your clipboard → paste straight into Figma (⌘V). Real, editable frames & autolayout, not screenshots.

How it helps:
We screenshot-and-rebuild constantly, i.e from competitors, references gathering, concepts, current-state audits. FrameSnap collapses that into a paste. Using FrameSnap, You get actual layers: real spacing, type, colors, working SVG icons.

 • No Paid tools
 • Works on Figma desktop and figma.com
 • Zero setup, zero accounts, zero data transmitted, All local

Where it won't work:
Strict-CSP sites (Stripe, GitHub, parts of Google) block the capture script, Chrome-side limitation, nothing fixable on our end.
