When building mega menus for complex sites, do you prefer hover interactions or click-to-open triggers on desktop?
Drop your preference below! 👇
I prefer click-to-open for complex mega menus. It gives users more control and avoids accidental openings, especially when there are lots of options
Totally agree! Intentional clicks almost always win over accidental hovers when dealing with high-density menus. Thanks for dropping your thoughts!
Click for me on dense menus, hover tends to fire when people are just moving toward something else. A small delay on hover can be a nice middle ground if the team really wants it.
Exactly! That accidental trigger while moving diagonally across the screen is a classic UX pain point.
A 200–300ms hover intent delay (or pointer-events buffer) works wonders if the client insists on hover. But pure click-to-open still wins every time for keyboard accessibility and touch screens!

🎨 What makes an e-commerce website stand out: the design, the products, or the shopping experience?
Here’s a look at my e-commerce website design concept for a retro-inspired fashion store.
From product collections and featured items to community-inspired sections, the goal was to create a storefront that brings the brand’s personality to life while making product discovery feel effortless.
But I want to hear your honest thoughts 👇
💬 If you were improving this website, what would you focus on first?
🎨 The visual design and branding
🛍️ The product browsing experience
📱 The user experience and navigation
💰 The layout and conversion potential
Feel free to share your suggestions, even if you would do something differently. I’m always interested in hearing how other designers, founders, and e-commerce professionals think.

Have you ever imagined exploring the history of the Bauhaus through an interactive experience?
That’s exactly what inspired me to create Who Closed the Bauhaus? An independent editorial project exploring the story of one of the most influential design schools of the 20th century, the political forces that led to its closure, and the lasting impact of its legacy.
🔗 Explore the project: https://quemfechoubauhaus.com.br/en
The entire project was built with AI, from the first sketch to the final product.
I used Claude throughout the process, from research and early concepts to development, iterations, refinements, and deployment on Vercel. I also used ChatGPT and Gemini to cross-check historical information and help validate the research.
This wasn’t a one-prompt experiment. It was nearly a full week of hands-on work: researching, writing, structuring the content, refining the visual language, building interactive filters and a timeline, selecting and refining imagery, testing, and polishing every detail.
I also worked on accessibility, SEO, performance, metadata, responsive layouts, and bilingual support in English and Portuguese — all the way through deployment and Google Search Console setup.
One of the biggest challenges was finding the right balance between meaningful historical content and interactive moments, creating an experience that feels fluid and engaging without losing accuracy.
Now I’d love for you to explore it!
Click around, scroll through the timeline, interact with the different sections, and have fun discovering the story. And if you’re into design, history, AI-assisted workflows, or creative coding, I’d love to hear what you think.
Feedback, ideas, and questions are very welcome!
Great experience 🎉🎉
