How is this different from a video course or a book?
| What is being compared | Taste Training | A video course | A design book |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you do | Judge and repair real screens | Watch someone work | Read and take notes |
| How it’s measured | Timed accuracy on new screens | Not measured | Not measured |
| What it costs | $49, once | $100 to $250 | $30 to $50 |
| Try before you buy | First unit free, no account | A sample video | A sample chapter |
What proof is there that this works?
Matt Blode’s short course could really help with this: his designs are always super well-considered and effective, so if he can help us reproduce that then things will get better.
Builders attempting design from scratch usually default to whatever the framework spits out. The “train your eye” part is the real unlock.
As someone who occasionally resorts to design slop for mockups, this looks like a lifesaver.
- The lessons are public.
- Every lesson is also an agent skill. Read them on GitHub before you pay.
- The certificate is timed, not attended.
- You have to sharpen 25 failure modes. Each one takes three correct answers on screens you haven’t seen, fast enough to count.
