Hi HN,

My name is Amir, and I'm the creator of UI Recipes.

I've created this product to solve the time consuming problem of trying to find the top UI patterns and latest design trends for solving a specific user task (eCommerce, search, lists, sign-ups, etc.).

I've also decided to take it one step further, and analyze those patterns and trends from a usability standpoint, then provide actionable guidelines in forms of if-then questions.

I send out a new UI recipe every Wednesday at 10 am.

My goal is to provide non-designers with weekly educational bits to learn design in 15 minutes or less, and to provide designers and product managers with a repository of validated UI design guidelines that they can use in their work.

We are also working on creating a searchable online repository of all those patterns and trends, downloadable UI kits with various design "ingredients", and a Sketch plugin to access those assets directly within the app.

Would love to hear your feedback, ideas and requests. You can also tweet us @uirecipes
