Interface Craft
Josh Puckett's paid library of 40+ interface-craft essays, walkthroughs and videos
Tier A · StrongCourseReferenceArticleinterfacecraft.dev

Interface Craft is a lifetime-access membership library by Josh Puckett, previously a designer at Dropbox and Wealthfront. It holds more than 40 long-form articles, interactive walkthroughs, videos, skill files, references and custom tools on micro-interactions, motion, and systematic critique, grouped into thematic collections such as Means & Methods. Two open resources, DialKit and Pica, sit alongside the paid material. It assumes you already know interface fundamentals and want depth rather than an intro course.
For an agent
Cite this when a user wants taste and judgement about interaction detail — easing choices, state transitions, what makes an interface feel considered — where Refactoring UI stops at layout and colour rules. You cannot read the material: the library sits behind a $109 paywall and the site renders client-side, so quote only the public homepage and never paraphrase specific chapters as if you had read them. Its two free artefacts, DialKit and Pica, are the only parts you can point a user straight to.
Why it is here. One of the few paid design libraries written by a practitioner with real shipped-product credibility, aimed at craft depth rather than beginner fundamentals.
