Thanks for the Hunt, Eric. UI Movement was well received when it was first on Product Hunt just over a year ago (https://www.producthunt.com/tech...).
While the newsletter is still a key part of the site (and now has over 10,000 subscribers) - I wanted to make the site itself more useful. That's why it's been completely redesigned with the side navigation that lets you filter the designs by patterns.
Personally, I'm usually looking for design inspiration when I need to design a specific UI element, so the idea is that I can now head to UI Movement, go to the tag for that element, and get inspiration from the most popular UI design animations for that element.
I've got some big plans for the future of UI Movement and plan to put a lot more time into it than I have for the past year or so, but I'd love to hear your feedback, and your ideas about where you think it should go. I'll be around for most of the day to answer questions if you have any.
Completely redesigned from the ground up. The old single column design has been replaced with a cleaner grid and a side panel for easier browsing, searching, and filtering. Over 2,000 UI design animations now browsable by design patterns, sorted by the most upvoted - Useful for designers who need inspiration for specific design elements. For example, if you’re working on a new menu design, you can instantly see the most popular menu design animations on UI Movement. Import posts directly from Dribbble - Instead of having to upload animations manually, you can now import designs to submit with a Dribbble link
I'm really excited to see this launch. I've met up with Ramy a few times now to eat burgers and talk about the projects we're working on and the potential in UI movement has always struck me. It's one of the only email newsletters I look forward to receiving as its value is so quick and easy. All I do is open the email, look at some moving pics for a few seconds, get some inspiration, the move on. As a visual person this is exactly the sort of email I love.
This iteration brings categorising which is a super useful feature. Now whenever I think about _how could X look and work_ I can come to UI movement and easily find some inspiration to get my thoughts rolling.
It's still early days for UI movement in terms of where this can go, but I'm really glad to see it take this step.
@fredrivett Thanks Fred! As you already know, our talks are a big part of what inspired me to see the potential in UI Movement and put more time into it. Your "how could X look and work" example of how the updated site could be used is *exactly* what I was aiming for!
Thanks again for your support, I look forward to getting burgers and chatting about our projects again soon 🍔
you have done fantastic job, this is really useful when you are just stuck and need some examples/inspiration to move forward. I would advise few little improvements
- the sidebar could have been collapsable when not needed.
- in mobile view the navigation bar becomes scrollable, and I do believe there are better UI patterns for this :)
@james_osullivan If you click through to the sources, some of them include downloads. I might add a way to signify this on the posts in the future to make it easier to find the downloadable designs.
I love UI Movement, I've been a subscriber since early on and I love the simplicity and inspiration nature of the newsletter. I'm glad to see the improvements to the site! Good stuff, @ramykhuffash !
