Designing on expert mode

The podcast discusses the importance of interaction design, particularly in mobile applications, highlighting how it has become a core skill for designers. The host and guests emphasize the need for designers to work directly with materials and create high-fidelity prototypes that are indistinguishable from production to get accurate feedback. They cite examples like the Linear mobile app, Netflix redesign, and the Aimee calendar app to illustrate how interactions are integral to the design itself, rather than an afterthought. The discussion also touches on new tools like Lovable and Play that enable designers to build realistic prototypes without code, fostering greater conviction in their design solutions.
