Thanks for the question!
How do you make UX decisions?
As you may know my co-founder Syed Fazle Rahman takes the design decisions. Maybe he can shed some light here. :D
I see that Hashnode changes it's UI and UX quite often. Do you have to write the UI and restructure the frontend code once again? How do you adapt to the changes so fast?
