The best product websites do more than pitch. They explain, guide, and reflect the product itself, and often serve as a company’s first impression. On this episode of Design Review, YC’s Aaron Epstein is joined by Karri Saarinen, co-founder & CEO of Linear, to break down how today’s best software companies design their sites. They review examples from Linear, Sprites AI, GigaML, UnReal Milk (Brown Foods), Confident AI (YC W25), and Dropback, exploring how structure, motion, and clarity shape not just the user experience, but the brand as well. https://lnkd.in/gM9JFbva

When was the last time your design and dev teams truly collaborated as equals, not adversaries? Fresh from her talk at UX Y'all Conference about designer-developer relationships, Kelley Gordon dives deeper into why these crucial partnerships often fail—and more importantly, how to fix them. With her 12+ years navigating these relationships, Kelley identifies the root causes — from past trauma and power dynamics to immature processes that pit teams against each other. But the thing is, both teams are necessary to achieve positive product outcomes and share the goal of improving the final product and its user experience. Both teams need to treat each other as co-owners of the product experience, not just owners of design or code. We’re all in the product journey together. → Work as a team to build relationships one person at a time. → Establish shared vocabulary early. → Acknowledge the invisible work. These aren't revolutionary ideas, but they go along way to building a solid team dynamic. Teams that embrace coownership see higher velocity and stronger trust. When designers and developers stop defending territory and start defending the user experience together, everyone wins.

Big news from the Auth0 crew 🎉 We just shipped six Developer Experience Principles to make auth feel invisible while you build. Think: Simple, Clear, Composable, Consistent, Quick, Magical. They’ll steer every doc, API, and UI choice we make—so you spend less time wiring login and more time shipping features. Catch the details from Micheal Lopez (VP, Design & Research) and tell us what you’d improve 👉 https://lnkd.in/eGVZRybz

Stop doc ping‑pong: assign owners, set cadences, track outcomes. 📊 Doc programs scale when accountability is explicit and signals are measurable. Here’s the manager’s map in practice: Quickstart: - Tech Writer + Product/DevRel; TTFS ≤ 10–15 min Task Guides: - Tech Writer + SME/Support; task success ≥ target Concepts: - Tech Writer + Product/Eng; fewer “What is…?” repeats API Reference: - Tech Writer/DevRel + Eng; ready‑to‑use snippets at SDK parity Troubleshooting: - Tech Writer + Support/QA; recurrence falls after updates Release Notes: - Tech Writer + Product/Eng; adoption up, confusion down Admin/Config (or Architecture): - Tech Writer + Eng/SRE; setup success up Style Guide/Glossary: - Doc Manager + all; term consistency across top pages Put it to work: - Assign a primary responsible party - Review cadence, and an outcome signal per type - Add owner + last reviewed date on each page - Announce changes with a one‑line rationale 🧭 Small governance wins compound into faster reviews and fewer tickets. If this would cut ping‑pong in your org, reshare it with your leads. 🔄 Which doc type will you map first? Want more career insights for technical writers: 1. Follow Technical Writer HQ 2.

The DAM Disconnect: When Users Avoid the System Here’s a DAM dilemma no one likes to admit You invested in a platform, but users are still hoarding assets in Google Drive or Slack. Why? Because adoption isn’t about features—it’s about friction. If the search doesn’t feel intuitive, if upload requires three training sessions, or if versioning is confusing, users will work around the system. And that workaround leads to: • Inconsistent branding • Duplicate asset creation • Compliance risk • Slower campaign velocity User adoption should be one of the top metrics for DAM success. High functionality means little if the system isn’t sticky. What have you done to encourage—or rescue—DAM adoption in your org? Let's share ideas. #DAMadoption #userexperience #contentstrategy #martech #marketingoperations
