The 2026 Special Olympics USA Games just wrapped — congratulations to every athlete, coach, volunteer, and organizer who made it happen. 🏅 Anyone who's watched or participated in the games knows they're about more than the incredible athletic achievements of the participants; they're about community, empowerment, inclusion, and the transformative power of sport. In 2022, we had the privilege of partnering with Special Olympics USA Games to design a mobile app built around what athletes actually needed: easy scheduling across a complex multi-day event, simple ways to cheer each other on, and personalized mementos so the good feelings extended beyond the Games. Lonnie Snyder and the team at World Wide Technology kept building on that foundation — expanding from athletes and fans to a variety of other users, deepening the Healthy Athletes programming, and leveling up the app to create auto-generated personalized videos. And, they recently won a well-deserved Webby for their work! We're so proud to have helped them get started: https://lnkd.in/grB6iB8c

Check out Motif Suite, created by Blink motion designer Christian Stewart! Motif is a free 12-tool plugin suite for Figma Motion that lets designers run physics simulations, draw motion paths by hand, animate with AE expressions, and even combine any two tools simultaneously. Everything writes to keyframes on the new Figma Motion timeline. ✨ Every tool is free to use and test during the public beta phase; with motion tokens, quick animate, kinetic type, and timeline utilities free forever.

Eleven seconds of silence. That's how long a participant sat with a new onboarding flow before saying four words: "I don't get it." No AI model would have caught that moment. Synthetic users are fast, cheap, and useful for early hypothesis building, heuristic reviews, and pressure-testing interview guides. But they can't replace the friction, contradiction, and surprise that come from watching a real person struggle in real time. Our own Kristen Althizer breaks down when synthetic users earn their place in your research process, and when nothing but a real human will do.
