Screenshots from a parallel UI-niverse

Got domain for another side project: tryalbus.ai - Which will be a summarization tool to summarize articles in secs with 1-click - to be digested or shared online. Ideal users are social media marketers who share summaries of their company's blog posts to drive engagement and individuals who read a ton online but are crunch on time.

Another WIP section from p0's new landing page. Few pointers: 1.Both these sections addresses the WHY of the business 2.First section which is kind of a 4 reasons of Why an enterprise business should care about zombie APIs. Wanted to keep it simple & crisp so no product screenshot in this version. 3.The second section, although is another WHY, but it's more of a social proof i.e. see the research paper on zombie APIs and the damage they've caused in the past. Improvements here and to try in the next iteration: a. Add some product screenshots in the 'Why care' section or relevant illustrations b. Add a CTA to request a demo at the end c. Try adding additional social proof in terms of # of downloads in the whitepaper section right below the CTA to see if it drives users to download them? Not sure. Anyway, more soon. We're targeting to release the new landing page probably next week. BTW, the whitepaper card looks cool IMO. Framer's scroll transition for the win.

Idea was to demonstrate p0 finding Zombie APIs in your system. We didn't implement this as this looked too generic and didn't communicate the idea effectively.

In 2022, we pivoted from serving testing needs in web3 to web2 and attacking the API testing space after conducting multiple user interviews with engg. leaders. We found that every once in a while, tech teams get embarrassed because of a 'Something went wrong' or an 'Unknown error' during a demo - or worst case, when a user is trying to use their product and have already paid for it. With p0, we're going to help teams catch these issues before they go into production. All they have to do is give access to their staging server and test their APIs with p0 and we do the rest. To convey this message as simply and clearly, I put together a quick landing page demonstrating what this tool can do for its users last year in August. Rationale for this intro section direction was: Has to be easy to understand, has to be short so it’s not too wordy and loosing essence, and we’re in pre-beta and in a 0 → 1 journey so want to only show to users who have this pain sharply identified in their org. For that, a quick personalized demo is the way vs. an open ended inbound kind of landing page. A quite tease of the app’s dashboard to: Tease & nudge the viewer to scroll down.

We believe that being introduced to the best tech talent in India should be as easy as making a single phone call. That's why I'm creating hireworthy.team with two of my highly technical and experienced recruiter friends. We're in the process of ironing out a few details, but it looks like we'll be ready to launch by mid-January. In the meantime, I wanted to share a snippet from our landing page that highlights the focus of this venture. We're not interested in just selling resumes; there are plenty of those services in the market. We understand that time is money for startup founders. They're looking for high-quality leads to engage with. I've heard it countless times: founders appreciate a conversation with a highly skilled and professional candidate, even if they don't end up hiring them. They look forward to staying in touch and finding other ways to collaborate in the future. That's the rationale behind assembling a pool of high-quality tech talent and introducing them to busy founders and startups—it's immensely valuable. Excited to be building this on the side. Will unfold more on our guiding principles about Hireworthy with a few design shots every week. However, if your hiring needs are urgent and you value high-quality introductions, please feel free to send an email (details on our website).

Bought a new domain last week 👀 We think getting introduced to THE BEST tech talent for founders (in India) should be as easy as one phone call. Going to be building this on the side with two of my close recruiter friends 🙌 More soon!!

Using the same grid structure that I've been using for movies, books, and uses page on my site, duplicated the code last year and populated it with the games I've played so far and currently playing. Will be catelouging more here from the past but it's a good start.

The landing page has a section explaining the types of issues p0 can raise in user's endpoints (APIs) and how we're able to do that. This illustration was done to demonstrate how users can prevent platform crashes by using our tool to generate real life cases to test endpoints that can result in platform crashes.

Discontinued my Dribbble pro account and shipped this Design Shots page on my website today as a tracker for my WIP or finalized design work. This is inline with having control over my data vs. relying on a 3rd party tool like Dribbble or Behance or whatever comes next.

Released a fresh look of my BuildwithFramer project. This re-design is a result of many weekends and nights of design details. Includes New templates page, New resources page, and all that powered by Framer CMS

Finished coding the Uses page for my personal site. It lists all the software and hardware I use, categorized into sections for designing, documentation, communication, website development, and user analysis. The hardware section is currently divided into personal and office work. Both sections will expand as I add more tools and categories. As always, the goal is to ship something quickly and keep building on top of it.

Like most people, I never liked reading books for school or college. Interestingly, my dad is a writer and keen reader. I grew up around books, and I've always been interested in reading them. I started reading self-help books on productivity, design, business, marketing, and work-life balance when I went to college. In an attempt to capture the books I've read so far, I designed and coded this page last weekend.

Like most of us, I never liked reading books for my school or college's curriculum. Interestingly, my dad's a writer & keen reader. I grew up around books and have always been reading them on topics that interest me. I started reading self-help books on productivity, design, business, marketing, work-life balance, etc. when I went to college. In an attempt to capture books I've read so far, designed & coded this page last weekend.

During my 6-month sabbatical, I launched a photos page on my personal website to overcome Instagram's limitations and enjoy greater control over my photography. The initial grid view worked, but I desired a larger viewing format. Modals weren't the answer – they hampered photo transition and demanded extra coding. I opted for a 'List' view instead, presenting my pictures in a single-column layout ideal for larger screens.

Movies, TV shows, and documentaries have always been a doorway to creative thinking for me. Seeing how directors and artists around the world perceive something so differently and creatively is truly inspiring for me as a creator. That's why I love watching any kind of media. In an attempt to catalogue everything I've watched so far, I designed and coded this page over the weekend.

I took a sabbatical last year (early 2022) to build my personal website. While building mine, I researched other designers' websites and realized many don't have one due to lack of time, energy, and infrastructure. This sparked the idea to release a portfolio template using Framer, a decision that aligned perfectly with Framer's new product pivot. I shared this concept via a tweet, which generated a ton of positive feedback. I worked on a simple landing page and the template, which I'm refreshing this weekend. Excited to release the new landing page today!

Made the photos page responsive that I shipped late last year.

I shipped my own photos page early last year. Why, you may ask? It's because I hated what Instagram has become lately. My data was owned by FB. With my personal photo page, I own my data. It's all for the pure love of photography and giving my photos a permanent place on the web.

Pushed another update for my BuildingInPublic page. The intention here is to get this page to its true essence of building in public. So, making a ton of assets public for this redesign project. + When you visit the BuildingInPublic page from your smartphone, you'll be able to view the Figma files and Github activity. Spent some time yesterday to make them responsive.
