Pixel Perfect Picks #81 - I've launched a Figma Widget 🥳

Hey there 👋

Welcome to this installment of Pixel Perfect Picks. Here I'm sharing something that I heard, read, and saw. You can subscribe to this newsletter here. I'm additionally publishing a more extended essay about software development, design, and freelancing every month.

Heard Something

Well, I think we have to update this section slightly today and hope that you've heard something! Last Friday, I launched my very first Figma widget, which is called Fighill. It's an ode to Hill Charts from Basecamp and a way to make your design progress visible right inside a Figma file. Feel free to play around with it and let me know what you think! It's entirely free. I also wrote about the launch on my website. 

Read Something

I probably spent the rest of the weekend reading guides and tutorials for Path of Exile 2. Currently, I'm having an extreme amount of fun with gaming again, and Path of Exile 2 is such an amazing game! It reminds me of my good old Diablo days!

Saw Something

While I'm already thinking about the next side project, I came across a nice little app that finally brings an interesting code assistant to Xcode. This small sidebar is a real copilot for Xcode and makes working with Swift a bit easier!

About Marvin Messenzehl

I love working in the realm between design and code. Some things that make me excited are CSS, Interaction design, Javascript, and making interfaces feel fun and human.

Currently, I'm designing & building interfaces for the podcast app of RTL +.  Besides that, I'm teaching UX and UI design at Memorisely.
