Brother got 470 sats just for pulling up Allahumma barek 🔥

Tryna recruit more people from X to Nostr

Made a very dumbed down guide for getting people started lol

I'll slowly start importing tweets I had on twitter that fit the Nostr dynamic of discussing ideas

Dang so you really gotta be careful of what you say here lol

I realized a lot of my qualms with using Nostr was the fact that I was using Damus as my client 😅

Primal is much smoother

Muslim websites lack design quality

I say this because we actually have the ambition to demand the best from ourselves, to achieve the highest possible quality. And yet, in Muslim products, there is always a certain flaw, those last few percent of quality, that one is otherwise used to from Western products and services, are missing. And the worst thing about it is that we have gotten used to it, we are satisfied with mediocrity.

How did this happen? From Mimar (Architect) Sinan to design ordered from Wish. And this consistently runs through everything we manufacture. However, the application of design principles that we apply to our websites should be consistent. The work is agonizing, it sometimes really hurts, but we should have this ambition.

I'm talking about things like consistent spacing management. Doesn't any Muslim designer build a design system anymore in which he also defines which (white) spaces and units are allowed between UI elements? Does CI only mean logo, font, and color palette these days?

Spacing is the most important thing in web design. That's how you recognize professionals. Anyone can do nice colors and design modules. But mastering the vertical and horizontal rhythm is a different matter. Admittedly, I only learned it in my 10th year in web design.

Spacing downwards, design grid, balanced line heights for body text and headings that fit the overall rhythm ... for this, the eye first needs to be trained, and then you have to come up with a mathematical number system and apply it consistently. This is ancient craft knowledge, and back then we had to implement it against different browser interpreters. Today, the implementation is easier, but the knowledge seems to have disappeared. Among all the website generators, the craft seems to have disappeared.

But the mediocre designers get away with it. Because the customer also doesn't have a trained eye. On the contrary, they are used to trash. At least, I see less and less Muslim excellence in design today, but mostly just something slapped together. This has to change, we have to become a brand again. A quality feature that is recognizable and based on precision.

I want something that stands out as well. Most UI looks the same but with different color schemes

A design renaissance is in order (I'm artistically challenged)

I know about replit, the browser IDE

Does it have features that help with design? Or is all of it just around coding

Are there any applications out there that help with developing UI/UX mobile apps catered to those who suck at design?

Would be crazier if there are generative AI tools too

Please let me know

My first impression of this platform

1. Great conversations that you can find immediately rather than having to sift through garbage on X or Bluesky

2. Unfortunately suffers from poor UX and is not a straight forward setup. A continued problem of most Bitcoin and cypherpunk products and platforms

There needs to be more effort and discussion on the second point if we are to push for mainstream adoption

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله وبركاته

Let's make this mainstream InshaAllah 🤝🏼
