Episode notes
Ask Experts To Roast Your Work
- Get candid critiques from people one step ahead of you and ask them to 'roast' the product for a long to-do list.
- Use their technical, class-level feedback (e.g., Tailwind classes) to make concrete UI improvements.
Pick Battles And Systematize Selectively
- Pick your battles: prioritize polishing components users touch most and systematize only where it reduces repeat work.
- Keep a few consistent classes/components but avoid overbuilding rigid systems early because your taste will evolve.
Timeline UI Borrowed From Design Tools
- A visual, zoomable timeline that groups comments (like Figma) can make video collaboration feel like editing software.
- Enrico implemented grouping, collision, and springy animations to communicate states and scale usability.
