Finding a soul in this world seems to be a rare quality these days, especially in software-internet-land.

The rise of Tailwind, design system templates, and other dev frameworks has made it easier than ever to achieve visually appealing designs, often without the need for a designer’s hands. Out-of-the-box components, elegant icons, and ready-to-apply CSS are now within reach for whoever desires.

This abundance has made programming life easier while speeding up the design process, but it also appears to dull creative thinking. Alongside trends that come and go, sameness has become the default state. The spark of the past has faded in many aspects, far beyond the digital sphere: quirky tech brand logos have turned banal, social networks media wear the same interface, and web design is.. well, web design.
