Welcome to Inspiration Monthly!
👋 Welcome to October's inspiration monthly in our third issue, formerly 'The Roundup'.
Based on reader feedback, I'm doubling down on sharing the latest and greatest design discoveries this month. This is still an experiment—If beneficial, it stays; if not, I'll pivot back to solely offering practical design and UX insights.
Enjoy! 🔮
Design Inspiration ✨
🔥 This incredible new ‘choose your card’ screen from the team at Wise. They’re really setting the standard - go check it out to see the beautifully animated cards.
Stripe’s new Embed Checkout site 🤩
This adorable, genius and creative macOS product called Posture Pal 🦒 I think it’s such a lateral way at thinking about how software and hardware can work together in ways we haven’t thought of before.
This Pokédex inspired piece of hardware is awesome and inspiring. Maybe there’s hope for hardware which can help kids to explore, which aren’t just phones.
This proposals tool called Penna.app. Both the website and product look ✨
This dynamic navigation is so buttery smooth and just dope 🧈 I’m so excited to see people challenge traditional websites in how we interact with them—Familiarity is important, but that doesn’t mean we can’t evolve from it.
These beautifully simple modals by Ashish.
This button animation by Jordan. It’s really simple and visually guiding on hover, exactly when it needs to be.
An awesome behind-the-scenes look at this launch material which was made for Linear in a very creative way.
👋 Alright, that’s my top picks for October
