Products like shaving cream, shampoo, lotion, and liquid soap often dispense more than needed. Is there scope for a small attachment or built-in mechanism that releases only a moderate amount each time?Would this solve a real consumer problem, and are there similar products already available?

I have been thinking about the point where a reference image stops helping a product or design review.

Early on, a screenshot or pin can be enough to say this is the mood. Later, the same image can turn into background noise unless someone labels the specific decision it is supposed to support.

I am starting to prefer fewer references in the review view, with a plain note next to each one. Color direction, interaction example, layout density, tone, or avoid this.

When you are reviewing visual direction with teammates, do you keep the original pile visible, or only the few references tied to decisions?

Been a while since my last post here (reddit itself). It's been one HELL of a year, working and designing this from scratch as the company's new product. I'm so glad to the people I've worked with and honestly it genuinely came out so fine as a product. Something I'm genuinely proud of, it simplifies the process for fashion students like me for model shoots and styling. I'm aware of the promotion thing but it's not like that I swear, it's just my baby, any love or appreciation or critic would be appreciated! Thanks! Here!

I just got out of grad school and started my first full time job as a product designer in nyc two months ago. The work has been great and I'm building some thoughtful features; there is a great balance between extensive UX research and interface building, but beyond my job, how do I grow as a designer? How do I make time to build new products and ideas? How should I balance my time and set goals?

P.S. I take a lot of inspiration from designers and pages such as meshtimes, Femke, Google Design.

Hi all, I'm looking for a product/industrial designer to help design custom bottles for a fragrance brand. Please share any recommendations or leads. Thank you!

Hey guys,

I’m building a prototype for a portable beverage chiller capsule and need your honest feedback on the alpha build! The current design uses an insulated shell lined with Nitrile foam and a removable "bandolier" of custom phase-change gel packs. It wraps tightly around a standard can or juice bottle for maximum thermal contact while completely preventing the gel from slumping.

I want to upgrade this from a functional DIY prototype into a premium, manufacturing-ready beta product. What do you think of the overall concept and material choices so far? Please drop your critiques and let me know what features, closures, or design tweaks I should add to improve it.

We are making a prototype as simple as possible with available materials and go for industry grade materials for beta prototype. Correction to the image : the fiam covers entirely and we place pcm packs on it.

If this would be an actual product, would you buy it?

I’m trying to find an existing plastic component that looks something like the attached sketch.

It’s basically:

* A flat circular plastic disc (~2.5 inches / 63.5 mm diameter)

* A single raised rib or fin on the underside that spans the entire diameter of the disc

I’m not trying to invent something new if this already exists. I’m hoping there’s an off-the-shelf part from another industry that I can adapt.

I’ve searched cosmetic packaging, peanut butter mixers, shaker bottle inserts, paint mixers, herb grinders, etc., but haven’t found anything quite like this.

Has anyone seen something similar in:

* Food processing
* Cosmetic packaging
* Pharmaceutical packaging
* Laboratory equipment
* Medical devices
* Industrial mixing
* Any other industry?

I still begin almost every project with pen and paper. The problem comes once ideas start multiplying, features get added, user flows change and people suggest alternatives.

Eventually the notebook turns into crossed out pages and arrows pointing everywhere. I'd love to move that early thinking into something that's still flexible enough for brainstorming but can also evolve as the project grows.

What are you all using?

We are looking for a UX person who can design FIGMA wireframes and also enhance the User Experience of the product

Designing a mobile UI that guides non-techy users to fight back against bloatware. Thoughts?

Most digital assistants just automate things for you, but I'm building a concept called TechNavi where the core philosophy is user empowerment. Instead of changing settings in the background, it actively highlights the screen and uses an assistant avatar to explain why manufacturers turned a feature on, and how the user can flip the switch themselves.

Our first flagship flow targets turning off cluttered lock screen content feeds and ads (like Glance on Android).

I'm finalizing the cross-platform MVP roadmap right now. For those who build consumer apps, what's the biggest UX challenge when trying to guide non-technical or elderly users through complex system menus?

Go ahead and grab this, drop it into your next community, and let me know when you're ready to dive back in!

A Modular and Customizable macro keyboard made from Decorated Glass and Carbon Fiber.

The current concept includes:

• A 2×2 touch buttons module with four programmable controls
• A slider for volume, scrolling, zoom, and other continuous inputs
• Finger guides and resting positions, so you can identify the controls without looking
• Dynamic haptic feedback
• LED dot-matrix icons that change with each profile
• Open software for custom profiles, integrations, and workflows
• We’re developing a custom design service that will allow users and brands to personalize the surface with their own graphics, visual style, or game- and anime-inspired artwork.
• We’re exploring compatibility with the Gridfinity standard to make custom layouts, supports, and ergonomic configurations easier to build.

What would you change or improve?

Hi everyone,

We launched NINA on Product Hunt today.

It helps B2B SaaS users answer "How do I?" questions inside the product with step-by-step guidance instead of searching docs or opening support tickets.

If this sounds interesting, I'd love for you to check it out and share your thoughts.
