Thanks, I'll bookmark this.

As a programmer with no design skills, I maintain a folder of screenshots from various SaaS apps that I find helpful whenever I need inspiration for layouts, information presentation, multi-step interaction breakdowns, widget use, progressive drilling down, etc..

I'm really glad you found it useful! I'm deploying a blog for her too, if you have requests for UI/UX breakdowns let me know. Or you can just jump into the slack channel anytime and say hi!
Know your user. Don’t blindly copy designs.
An advantage of copying designs, for your user, is your user will already be familiar with them. (In contrast to coming up with something original.)
Not if it’s the wrong thing or something they don’t need.
