π Love π‘ House π Tools and HMW | Edition #22
How Might We make you read this newsletter and share with your besties?
π Hey UX people!
Over the 4th of July weekend, I drove from Miami to Atlanta, where we will live. The π trip took us two days with 1 wife πΈ, 1 toddler πΆ, 1 infantΒ πΌ and 1 dog πΆ.
This week I'm working out of an Airbnb, but next week I'll be in our actual homeπ‘.
As part of the bootcamp, I introduced you to Font Awesome, a front-end icon library built on top of Bootstrap. Recently, they released new icons and created this awesome mini-game Space Awesome.
Features to fall in love π
Keep in mind that tools are just tools... do not fall in love with them π .
The new Figma widgets will make Figma much more powerful, especially with integration with Jira and GitHub - integrating design into the process with Product Managers and Developers. As an added bonus, there is the calculator for Designers and the Status widget - which I have made components for some projects.
We have a new Status property in Notion that can be extremely useful. There are three main statuses and you can add sub-categories to each β many teams will benefit from it. The DOJO+ developers decided to divide the status on GitHub into several columns:
No Status
Epic
Demand
Backlog
Sprint Todo
Doing
On-Hold
In Validation
Sprint Done
In Production
Shelving
Featured Portfolio: Anne Groos
It has been on my list to share this portfolio for quite some time. There have been some changes made by Anne, and they look great. Check it out to get an idea of how you can build your own after (or during) the bootcamp.
π Finding a job
Juno, I already have my portfolio ready. As an alternative to the Notion template I shared with you, you can use this Chrome (or Microsoft Edge) extension: Huntr. As a result, you can track all the jobs you applied for and see how many you applied for. You should apply for a minimum of 500 jobs.
How Might We DΓ©jΓ vu?
Is this statement from our college student user still fresh in your mind?
I am a college student and I hate folding laundry because I canβt seem to fold it the right way.
Googoling led me to the solution...
