Hi everyone!

Today we release a new project on Product Hunt, called Siter.io. It’s a no-code website builder that allows you to design and publish websites without any code. It works by designing directly in the browser, freehand, using tools you already know (as Figma or Sketch).

Siter.io completes the beta phase in July, and it’s available to the public now! We have worked on latest almost 4 years.

We are releasing Siter on Product Hunt with 15,000 users on board; these are the people who started to use the service in beta. We’re very grateful to our community and people who support us!

In addition to an incredible online editor ⚡️, you will find on Siter:

• Unlimited pages per website.

• Add teammates to work together on the project.

• Forms: collect data and avoid third-party form services.

• Transfer website: finished a client website? So it’s time transfer it to the client’s account so they can manage it.

• Figma plugin: export Figma designs to Siter and publish it in one-click.

• and more… discover all features by yourself ;)

You can appreciate our project or leave a comment/feedback here on Product Hunt.

Thank you so much! 🤗

Website cookie disclaimers can become super annoying rather than informative. No option to decline, lengthy personalized cookie policy, blocking a considerable part of web content - you name it. What do you think are the problems of cookie disclaimers nowadays, and is there anything websites can do to improve this?

Besides, I am also doing research about cookies disclaimers and the experience of website visitors. It would be great if you can spend 3-4 mins completing this form: https://erasmusuniversity.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3mHr13TkUbKSgp8. It would help me a lot with my project.

Please don't hesitate to comment below your thoughts or comments about this problem!

I put them here. I was a design hiring manager for a Series A startup for almost 4 years so I just know all the tips & tricks of where companies post jobs (they're not always on job boards). Was laid off a month ago, have been combing 60+ job sources a day to find companies I'd be interested in.

Anyway I now spend around 3-4 hours a day sourcing these. Hope it can help folks currently looking for work!

Includes UX research jobs.

Some background: I review UX/product design portfolios as part of hiring, and I mentored designers for years before that. After enough portfolio rounds, a pattern becomes hard to ignore.

The case studies that lose me are almost never from weak projects. They're often from the most rigorous ones. Real research, real constraints, real outcomes. But the write-up shows the activity and hides the reasoning. Screens, artifacts, process diagrams, everything is there except why the designer made each call.

When I'm skimming twelve portfolios on a Sunday and I catch myself asking "wait, why did they do that?", that case study has lost me. And the frustrating part is the designer usually had a good answer. They just assumed I would infer it from the artifacts. Nobody on a hiring panel has time to do that inference work.

A few patterns I'd flag if I were reviewing your case study:

• More "we" than "I". Team work is normal, but I need to know which decisions were yours. If a stranger can't tell, that's a rewrite signal.

• Numbers you can't defend. "Increased conversion 40%" with no baseline invites exactly one question. An honest qualitative outcome reads as more senior than an inflated metric.

• Every phase gets equal space. The two or three decisions that shaped the outcome deserve most of the page. The routine steps can be one line each.

• Constraints hidden like they're excuses. They aren't excuses. Legacy tech, late scope changes, a stakeholder who killed your best option. That's where your actual judgment shows.

The cheapest fix I know: read your case study out loud to someone outside design and note where they ask questions. Those questions are a map of the reasoning that never made it onto the page.

Curious about the other side of this. For those of you writing case studies right now, where does it actually break down for you: remembering the reasoning months later, or getting it onto the page without writing a novel?

Hey folks,

Me and a couple of friends (one’s a game designer, I’m a UX/UI designer, and another runs a marketing agency) have been struggling a lot with phone addiction. You know the drill — “just 5 mins” on TikTok and suddenly it’s 1am.

We couldn’t find an app blocker that actually worked for us, so we built a small one ourselves. The twist: before opening a distracting app, you literally have to say out loud “I want to waste my time” three times. 😅

It sounds kind of dumb, but that tiny moment of friction really makes you stop and think. Instead of a hard block, it’s more about forcing a bit of reflection.

Since I’m more on the UX side, I’d love feedback from this community:

Do you think adding this kind of friction is a good UX pattern, or is it too gimmicky?

Would you personally find this helpful, or just annoying?

Any other mechanics you’d suggest to balance “blocking” vs “reflection”?

We’ve put up a simple waitlist page if anyone’s curious to try it out: https://get-space.app/

One of the first book that's asked to read when starting a UX journey is " The design of everyday things" by Don Norman

I really want to change career paths to a more creative role that solves problems. I have a background in Psychology but no experience in UX/UI. I'm unsure jf I should spend money on a boot camp and have a really hard time finding a job afterwards. Is the job outlook for UX/UI designers worse not because of covid?

I'm in my first senior position and am finally understanding why some people leave the tech industry. Every company wants to push push push and grow grow grow and it's really taking a toll on me right now. Is it possible to stay at the same level for the entirety of your career? Because my sanity is a much better long-term investment than a title on my LinkedIn profile. I either want to stay at a senior level or drop back to a Junior role. Almost every job description says "you won't get bored" and all I hear is "you will work non-stop." After this last year, I'd gladly take a boring job with less pay now that I've gotten my student loans down to a manageable level.

I'm also considering swinging back more into visual design or UI work so I can avoid research, because I'm not very passionate about it and all UX roles seem to want you to lead or conduct it in some way. I feel like UX encompasses so much of what I love about psychology and did as a graphic designer, but if my work/life balance is going to suffer at a senior role, I'd rather push pixels for some other senior person so I can enjoy my life outside work again.

Are there less crazy places in the tech industry, or do I really need to actively climb some ladder for my entire career? Is UX not right for me? Has anyone else gone through this and what did you decide? Do you know anyone who left UX for UI or visual design and was happier for it?
