Welcome to Issue 159!
Happy new year, Product Disruptors! This is the first issue of 2024, so I decided to greet you with a little surprise :)
If you noticed, things look slightly different here – I went rogue a few nights ago and redesigned this newsletter directly in code. From here on, we'll start every issue with an editor's note to have a dialogue between us.
You can expect more additions down the year, like design tips, memes, deals, etc. How do you like this change, and what else would you like to see here?

Visual Electric – Design with AI
Visual Electric is the first canvas-based generative AI tool to create images. Moving away from chat-based AI tools to something that feels like a real AI-enabled design tool is refreshing. It also has features to refine styles, remove backgrounds, modify objects, etc. And they also have a generous free plan.
State of UX in 2024
The most comprehensive UX design report is back with another thought-provoking edition. This time, the theme is late-stage UX. The market is changing rapidly, and the future seems uncertain. Read the full report to navigate the design landscape in 2024.
Freelance Things
Collection of resources to help you on your freelance journey. Articles, books, podcasts, communities, tools, etc. Curated by Bryn Taylor. I wish something like this existed when I used to freelance full-time about four years ago.
2023 Design Tools Survey
The survey results for the most used design tools in 2023 are in. No prizes for guessing the number one tool – we'll know it's been the year of Figma. But do you know what other tools are catching up? Read the comprehensive report by our friends at UX Tools.
Agency Site – Wow Tapes
Wow Tapes is a Roman brand studio. Their new site has beautiful case studies of their work. It combines bold typography with stunning video reels. Click around and be amazed by their interactions.
