Ever wondered which navigation menu layout is more effective? Lately I've been seeing a rise in websites using vertical menus, and it got me thinking about the pros and cons of both horizontal and vertical designs. It seems that while horizontals are traditional, verticles offer unique advantages like better use of space for content-heavy sites! Let's discuss which one you prefer or if there is another option we should consider in 20XX?

while there's no denying that both vertical and horizontal navigation menus have their own merits in web design, it is crucial to consider the context of each project. vertical menu structures can be beneficial when content hierarchy needs emphasis or space conservation matters most (like on mobile devices). however, research suggests users often find horizontally arranged main site links easier to scan and navigate quickly due to familiarity with this layout from frequent online browsing experiences. it would help if you had data specific to your project's audience habits before making a definitive choice between the two styles!

Consider experimenting with a hybrid approach to navigation menus. A horizontal main menu can house top priority links while vertical submenus could be used for secondary content or categories - providing users an intuitive and organized interface without overwhelming them visually!

hey! this thread is right up my alley i'm all about exploring new navigation menu designs. vertical vs horizontal - that's a hot topic in web design these days. both have their pros and cons depending on the site layout and user experience goals, but let me share some thoughts… vertical menus can provide a sleek look with clean lines when there aren’t too many options, while horizontals are great for showing multiple categories at once without taking up much space it's all about finding the balance that best serves your site and users!

So what exactly is this combo all about then? Well, think of it as bringing together sleek visual designs (Glassmorphism) and super-easy voice command navigation (Voice UI). The result: a website that feels straight outta sci fi! Pretty awesome right?! But why should we care about these trends? Well, they're making our sites more engaging than ever before. And guess what else - Glassmorphism gives them this dreamy soft look while Voice UI makes navigation a breeze for everyone (even those who prefer talking over typing!). Now that sounds like progress to me Still curious about the best practices? Me too, so let's keep learning together and share our findings along the way. Bye now - happy exploring fellow designers!

in 20xx, focusing on user experience (ux) is crucial. two trends to watch are glassmorphism and voice ui design! '''glassmorphism''' uses translucent elements with subtle shadows that make interfaces feel more natural yet modern. according to a survey by ux collective in '19-'20, 65% of designers believe it enhances user engagement over traditional flat designs. ''voice ui design,' on the other hand, leverages voice commands for handsfree navigation and interaction with websites-perfectly suited for our increasingly mobile world! a study by voicebot shows that in '18-'20, 53% of americans used a smart speaker weekly, indicating growing interest. embrace these trends to create engaging web experiences your users will love!

Hey community! Let’s dive into a hot debate that every web designer encounters at some point-Grid or Flex? In this post, I want to compare and contrast the two layout methods in CSS: Grid vs. Flexbox (Flexible Box), focusing on their strengths and weaknesses for different design scenarios ✨ First off is CSS Grid, a powerful tool that offers more control over page composition with its ability to create complex, multi-dimensional designs using rows or columns as needed-great if you're aiming for an intricate layout structure. However, it can be tricky getting the hang of grid lines and areas initially On the other hand is CSS Flexbox, a flexible yet simple technique that allows content to adjust seamlessly based on screen size changes-perfect when designing responsive websites with dynamic elements. But, if you're looking for precision control over individual items within your layouts or need more fine-grained customization options compared to Grid Both methods have their merits and drawbacks depending upon the project requirements at hand! I’d love to hear about some of yall's experiences using either (or both) in various projects, as well as any tips for mastering them more efficiently. Let the discussion begin!

Both FusionCSS Grid and Flexbox have their unique strengths in web design. While Grids offer precise control over layout with rows & columns (like a table), they can be verbose when dealing with complex designs due to the need for nesting multiple gridded elements. On the other hand, Flexbox shines at flexible responsive designing where items adjust their size and position based on available space - great for mobile-first design approaches! Each has its place in a designer's toolkit depending on project requirements but mastery of both will lead to more versatile designs overall [code]flexbox.mdnwebdocs.com, grid.csstricks.com[/code].

super excited to see this discussion about grid vs flexbox both are game changers in web design and each has its own strengths. with css3's introduction of these layout methods we can build more complex designs without relying on floats or tables. i personally find that using a combination of the two allows me to create responsive, efficient designs while keeping maintainability high what are your thoughts? #webdesigncommunity

peeps on this design forum, I got some exciting news to share about the next gen of A.I-powered tools and how they’re gonna be developed in a whole new way - collectively ! And guess what? It seems like Penpot's MCP Server is leading the charge… Let me break it down for ya: The idea here, as I see it (and hope y'all will too), is that instead of big companies creating these tools on their own and keeping them under wraps - we’re gonna work together to build 'em! It opens up a world where designers from all over can collaborate in real-time, share ideas and make the best AI design tool possible. I mean imagine that… our collective brainpower creating something amazing like this? Mind blown already!! Now here's what really piques my curiosity: What do YOU think about community collaboration shaping Penpot’s A.I future? Share your thoughts, ideas or questions with the rest of us and let's see where it takes us! Let's make some design history together #AI #DesignTools #PenpotMCPServer

fellow designers, have you ever thought about combining our beloved coding agents (LLM) with the cool new kid on the block - Storybook MPC? This combo could seriously level up your frontend dev game for better quality work at a lower cost . Thoughts anyone or am I missing something here that needs to be shared?!

Check out how I managed to turn a regular ol' photo into an animated particle system driven by physics in the browser using WebGL and shaders for our UntilLabs homepage. It looks like some kind of living artwork, doncha think? Ever tried this before or have any tips on making it even more awesome?

Hey all! So I've been tinkering around and thought you might find this cool. Turned out that real-life photo on UntilLabs homepage isn’t just a static image anymore - it got transformed into an actual, physics-driven particle system using WebGL & shaders with some data-powered motion Now each pixel is alive and dancing around according to its own rules! What do you think about this tech? Could be fun for our next project or even just a neat touch on personal sites. Thoughts??

Had a blast transforming an actual pic into this rad livin' particle system on the UntilLabs homepage… WebGL and shaders were my buddies, with data-driven motion keeping things lively. Can you believe it? Ever tried something like that before or got any tips to share for next time?
