⚠️ Is "Doom Scrolling" or "Brain Rot" affecting you or your loved ones?
Do you recognize the pattern? If so, read on.
Aza Raskin, a technology engineer and designer at the interface company Humanized, invented infinite scrolling in 2006.
Originally designed to create a smooth and uninterrupted browsing experience by eliminating the need to click to view new pages, Raskin later expressed regret about this invention, noting its role in creating an addictive, time-consuming form of "behavioral cocaine."
☀️ Today, we propose an update to this invention aimed at limiting the addiction mechanism.
Please check out the "🥒 Pickle Scroll - Prototype" and tell me what you think! :)
🏃 The walkthrough is built-in into the experience itself. Enjoy!

neat approach to the problemas visual paradigm there's also showing a regular scroll bar and growing the literal scrollbar handle till it fills the track.
Too bad we'd never see platforms willing do something like this.
Would be a killer OS productivity feature but that's...
Thanks for your comment, really appreciated! :)
Indeed, it could work as an overlay of some sort!
@Philippe Côté Neat approach to the problem from a visual paradigm perspective. Another idea could be showing a regular scrollbar and gradually expanding the scrollbar handle until it fills the entire track.
Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that major platforms would adopt something like this. It...

For this concept I turned a static perfume product into a lifelike scroll experience.I'm now taking on 2 new website animation projects where designs need to move on scroll / hover / click. If your site feels too static, let's talk.
🛒 Flipkart App — UI/UX Mistakes & Solutions
I explored the Flipkart app from a UI/UX perspective and identified several areas where the user experience could be improved.
From information overload and banner clutter to visual hierarchy, notifications, filters, product cards and checkout flow — small design decisions can have a big impact on how easily users browse and shop.
For each mistake, I explored a practical UX solution focused on clarity, simplicity and a smoother user journey.

Good UI gets attention. Great UX makes things easier.

Mistake and solution side by side is a clean teardown format. Provocative thought though: banner clutter on Flipkart is not a design mistake, it is paid placement. A fair critique should say what the fix costs in revenue, because that is the real reason it stays. That tradeoff would make this a senior-level case study.
Working on apple watch experience. How else do I keep myself from getting bored when there’s interaction design involved? That’s honestly one of my top priorities.
Can’t wait to share the full case study for this project. For now, here’s a little sneak peek at some of the animated screens I’ve been working on for the fitness experience. ⌚️
This deserves only praise. wonderful execution
