Hello UX world!
Over the years, I’ve struggled to keep track of awesome interfaces and interaction examples. Luckily there are already so many fantastic UX patterns libraries around. The only problem is that they lack personal context.
I’ve been meaning to create my own personal patterns library for many years. My collection is spread out uselessly over disparate sites like Delicious, Xmarks, Evernote and Twitter. I’m going to use this Tumblr capture cool UX examples I discover while trawling the web. Maybe you’ll find it useful too.
