For Devs/Engineers and even many designers, things some of us tend to take for granted were amazing to them. So, my first recommendation is to read Refactoring UI end-to-end and keep a copy handy at your desk.

PS. Refactoring UI is from the guys who created TailwindCSS.

May be it's just me, but the very first example (contacts form) looks better (easier to read) on the left than text in empty space on the right (which is supposed to be the good design)...

It's not just you, I didn't even open the link and know exactly which two examples you're talking about because I left this same comment on HN a while ago.

So much of modern design is fashion yet the designers pretend it isn't. Like it's some scientifically provable truth or axiom that faint lines between list items is "bad".

Just judging by eye, I'll bet in both of those designs the "Team/Member" text would fail one of the WCAG grades.

Thin, light grey text on a white background is not really very good design.

$99 for a 218 page PDF which, while it has a Goodreads page which rates it highly:

https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/43190966-refactoring-...

doesn't have a working "Purchase on Amazon" link, and searching there for:

"Refactoring UI Adam Wathan , Steve Schoger"

returns no results.

One can get two "free" chapters in exchange for one's e-mail address.

Book deal fall through? Why?

Either you want to support the authors and give them the price they ask or don't. You being on this platform gives me the assumption that you can definitely find pretty much any PDF on the Internet for free, in a way or another.

I would prefer to support the authors by the purchase of a dead tree/printed book.
