The Most Underrated UX Skill No One Talks About

We often spotlight wireframes, research, or tools like Figma, but none of that moves the needle if we can’t collaborate well. Great UX doesn’t happen in isolation. It takes conversations with engineers, alignment with product, sales, and other stakeholders, as well as the ability to listen, adapt, and co-create. That’s where design becomes a team sport, and when your ability to capture the outcomes multiplies the UX impact. https://webdesignernews.com/the-most-underrated-ux-skill-no-one-talks-ab

This is a proof-of-concept comic book that asks: What if knowledge from 2025 reached Rome and kicked off an industrial revolution?

Show HN: Eyesite - experimental website combining computer vision and web design

I wanted Apple Vision Pros, but I don’t have $3,500 in my back pocket. So I made Apple Vision Pros at home.

For best results, have a webcam pointing right at you. I tested my website with a MacBook camera.
