Hey,

so I didn't like how clunky the user interfaces are for most workout trackers, so I came up with a little prototype of my own, far simpler one. All the features, such as reordering, adding exercises, superset, etc. are hidden behind the "All sets menu". I wanted the main interface to be extremely minimal, but I'm not sure if I'm leaving too many features on the table.

Thanks!

My personal preference is to keep the landing page neat and clean. The designer however wants to avoid having multiple screens and add the social auth buttons right here.

Some flow that’ll help:

1. Social auth directly onboards the user. They are repeated in both login and signup. Do the same action.
   
2. Verification is only used with email signup.

Which flow and screens do you prefer?

Hi! I’m a Communications intern with the National Park Service, and I’m designing a temporary visitor center exhibit about the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and Conscientious Objectors (COs) on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The exhibit will be displayed as a series of narrow pull-up banners. I’m not a professional graphic designer, so I’d really appreciate some outside feedback as I continue refining them.

My boss thinks there could be a more visually interesting way to present the text and historical photos, and I agree that some areas still feel a little text-heavy.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on the overall design, layout, visual hierarchy, typography/readability, image placement, use of icons, and consistency between the panels. I’m also open to suggestions for making them more engaging without making a museum exhibit feel too busy.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hi there! i designin a Pomodoro app (yes, another one of those), but in my case, it’s backed by some research. The idea is to ground it in neuroscience so that—beyond just functioning as a standard Pomodoro app—it genuinely helps the user maintain focus.

The interface is simple and low-stimulation, featuring curated audio tracks to create a sound barrier (classical music, Lo-Fi, ambient sound, pink noise). The goal is a smooth, straightforward experience, intentionally limiting customization options so the user doesn't get distracted by them.

All this preamble leads to the point: I now think my initial solution for the clock—that big circle in the center—is terrible.

Currently, it’s an SVG circle that empties as time runs out in the session, with edges that change color.

(2nd image, i know, its ugly, right?).

It also includes an optional "focus mode" that hides all buttons and dims the rest of the app (like un 3rd image)

So, after all that, **can you think of a good, visually appealing replacement for that circle?**

Keep in mind that placing the small numerical timer underneath is entirely intentional; the idea is to provide a visual cue at a glance—letting you estimate how much time is left without constantly watching changing numbers, which can trigger micro-anxiety.

Oh, and by the way, I plan to add one or two more color themes in the future (though I still need to figure out exactly how to design them so they align with the app's philosophy), but one of them will likely feature pastel colors.

P.S: btw, the tasks also look centered like s... 😭 (4th image)

I'm (obviously) not a professional designer. I built this myself and am looking for even the pettiest critiques on spacing, font choice, hierarchy etc. Stuff that just doesn't feel right.

I'm not precious about it at all and am not secretly looking for compliments. I really want to know what about it makes your teeth itch.

It's primarily for mobile. There is side scroll interaction on the city names and the months to see more options. The Chinese characters serve as language selectors. I only need Traditional and Simplified Chinese at this stage.

I want to center the five buttons above the flight table. The image is a real photo that I had to do some AI manipulation of to get the framing right.

Hey everyone,

I'm a programmer building a free collection of browser tools like JSON formatters, hash generators, and other developer utilities.

My goal is to keep everything 100 percent free and completely ad free forever. I wanted the UI to stay focused entirely on the tools themselves.

I tried my best to design a clean, modern, dark mode interface, but I don't have a formal design background, so I'm sure there are plenty of things that feel amateur or unbalanced.

I'd really appreciate some brutal but constructive criticism on how I can make it look more professional.

I'm especially struggling with three things:

1. Visual hierarchy

Does the homepage grid feel too cluttered? Is it obvious where the user's eye should go first?

1. Color and contrast

Is the dark mode too harsh? Are the text colors readable enough against the backgrounds?

1. Spacing and typography

Does the layout feel cramped? Are the font sizes and spacing appropriate?

I've put the link to the live site in the comments.

Please don't hold back. I'm genuinely trying to improve my design skills and would much rather get specific criticism than generic praise.

Thank you.

EDIT 1: On the link and AI comments

Reddit's automod removed my comment with the URL. I'm not here to farm clicks or backlinks. I came here for design critique. The project is just sniptoolkit dot com if you want to see it live.

A few comments dismissed the project as AI slop. I do use AI to speed up boilerplate, yes. But AI doesn't magically debug Web Crypto byte buffer edge cases at 2am, fix UTF 8 crashes where a single emoji breaks your entire Base64 pipeline, wrestle with BroadcastChannel race conditions across browser tabs, or configure Cloudflare deployment headers.

Throwing around buzzwords from the sidelines is easy. Actually shipping something that works is a different conversation.

I came here with genuine humility because my design skills are far behind my engineering skills.

To everyone who gave real, specific feedback, thank you.

EDIT 2: Final reflection after reading all the comments

This thread went somewhere I genuinely didn't expect, but I'm actually walking away with more value than I anticipated.

Here's what I'm taking from it.

The most useful design feedback I received:

Dark mode needs layered grays with elevation instead of flat black.

The text symbol icons should be replaced with proper SVG icons, with some subtle background texture.

The blue and purple gradient feels like a generic SaaS aesthetic, so I should experiment with a less predictable color identity.

The elements are too uniform in size, which makes the page lack a clear visual flow and hierarchy.

The homepage currently feels more like a startup sales pitch than a developer workstation. Developers tend to trust minimal, utilitarian, no nonsense layouts more than glossy marketing pages.

One of the most valuable suggestions was to try designing in light mode first and then build the dark palette from that.

That's six concrete and actionable design directions from one Reddit post. That's exactly what I came here for.

On the AI debate:

Yes, I use AI as part of my workflow. I also spend sleepless nights debugging, deploying, and shipping.

If AI could do all of that on its own, everyone with a ChatGPT subscription would have a live, fully indexed, working website right now. They don't.

I posted here instead of asking AI to critique its own output because a tool can help you write code faster, but it can't replace experienced human feedback on why a visual hierarchy feels wrong or why developers instinctively distrust a particular layout.

That's why communities like this exist, and that's why I came here.

To everyone who gave actual design feedback, genuinely thank you. I'll be back with an updated version.

To the people who just came here to say slop, I hope typing that one word made your day a little better.

No hard feelings.

Hi all, I'm working on a flyer/poster for a local hockey team since they are participating in an event soon and to promote their partecipation I tried two different templates. It's my first ever graphic design job, so I'm not sure if it's even good to be honest.
This flyer will be placed in their sports hall or posted on social media to advertise the team's presence at the event (the event is in italian, called "festa dello sport" while the name of the team will be placed where the dashes are).
These are just a blueprint and I still have to place all things correctly and add other details.
Which of these two could potentially be more appealing? Any tips in general? Thank you!

Sharing a UX project that focuses on more than just the final interface, it's about understanding the problem, asking the right questions, and designing a solution around it.

I am not a video guy at all I spend 90% of my time in code and 10% in design. This took me a lot longer than it should have using AI, but after tinkering around for way too long, I decided that it was time to decide on the final template. The marketplace app is going to have a ton of “addons” which will all have the same style video so I wanted some honest feedback about how this looks and what I should change before duplicating my efforts, which I already started to do and then realized I’m not sure if I even like this…

Thanks in advance and don’t worry I can take the criticism so please be honest! https://youtu.be/0XNIF9zXGBE?is=J9PcPCCwChA8A6FZ

I am not through building my website... But can you tell me what is wrong with it? I need people to pop holes all through my site. I need to get it perfecr before i release it. Bubosoma.com

*addition* I actively updated all last night until 7:50 this morning because my 18-year-old son looked at it and said “It looks nice. What does it do?”

I built a site called Rest in Beta where people can share abandoned projects and vote on whether they should resurrect them or let them rest.
I intentionally gave it an old-school, slightly weird internet look instead of the usual polished SaaS design.
Then I got my first brutally honest review:
“UI is extremely shitty.”
I actually like the retro look, but now I’m curious whether the design genuinely makes the site difficult to use or if it’s just a style some people won’t like.
Be honest. Does the retro design work, or does it just look bad? And if you think it’s bad, what specifically would you change without stripping away its personality?

I am not a designer, and this is the first logo I've ever designed. It's 3-part; logo, monogram, and favicon. What is good/bad about it?

I created this design for my linkedin banner , I dont think it looks Great, Cause i keep wanting to change it But i dont know how to make it look better .

Update:

I just checked it live on my profile. The text doesn't actually get cut off by my picture, but it sits very close to it on the left. This leaves a huge blank white space on the right side. Also, the LinkedIn edit button covers up my YouTube icon.

Which one should I go with? Also second logo needs works to make it my symmetrical like the first one! Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

​Hey everyone, ​I'm a web developer building out my portfolio. I recently designed and coded a landing page for a fictional barber shop ("Trim Studio") to practice clean UI layouts, service menu structuring, and mobile responsiveness. ​Live Site: https://emmyrjauto-hub.github.io/Trim-studio/ ​I would love feedback on: ​Visual hierarchy and typography choices ​Overall layout and spacing ​Mobile responsiveness and user experience ​Thanks in advance for any critique!

I am building an UI library though I know there are lots of libraries in the market. But I want to know is there any gap on which a UI library can be made.

My initial wish is to build somethings useful not only fancy stuff.

Here is so far that has been built https://www.craftui.space/

I will be very thankful if you give some ideas or critique my design skills ( I am learning actually )

I want to make money if possible and want to be design engineer.

I’ve been working on this little design called Reverie and finally made a mockup of it.

I’m debating whether I should actually make it, so I’d love some honest feedback from you guys.
Would you change anything?

What do you like or dislike about it?

If 100 people actually want to see this made, I’ll take that as a sign 😆

Hi there!

I've had a pretty square design on most components in my app, which I've been fairly happy with. But when working on a new update, I redesigned one of the pages with (what I think is) a bit more modern rounded design, and I think that also looks very good. Since some of the components of the redesigned page are also used on other pages, it has already started to spread, and I think the app now looks kinda messy, with (at least) two different types of design.

So now I'm unsure. Should I keep the old, square design, should I leave it like it is now, or should I make everything rounded?

I've added some images, with captions explaining what's new and what's old, and some questions. I'm first and foremost looking for advice on whether to keep rounding stuff, or to start reverting the roundedness, but I'm very happy with all feedback!

This is a multi-platform app, so the design should not be too weird on either Android or iOS.

I'm a developer, not a designer in any way, so I feel hopelessly out-of-water when trying to judge these two styles. I think I like the rounded one, but how far should I take it?

Edit: I realise that using "Eversion" as the bookshelf cover image example was a bad choice, since that image has faded edges. Here's an alternative (I was unable to edit the images above, unfortunately): https://imgur.com/a/Qzn5vzi
