• A New Era for TNW.

  22-12-2025 19:32 via thenextweb.com
  
  My name is Alexandru Stan, and this article continues the dialogue I began following the acquisition of TNW. Following the recent transaction, TNW Spaces remains with the Financial Times, while we continue the mission of the website, the events, and the global community. We already have a dedicated team at tekpon operating the platform, events, and community initiatives. Our objective is to expand and strengthen the team as TNW accelerates its next chapter. TNW is already a global media platfor

• Engineering’s AI reality check

  19-12-2025 13:49 via thenextweb.com
  
  Most engineering leaders cannot answer the one question their CFO is about to ask: “Can you prove this AI spend is changing outcomes, not just activity?” Every December, roadmaps get locked, budgets get approved, and board decks are polished until everything looks precise and under control. Underneath, many CTOs and VPs are still working with partial visibility. They have a feel for their teams, but not a reliable view of how work moves through the system, how AI is really changing

• Why feature roadmaps don’t work for early-stage startups

  18-12-2025 12:25 via webdesignernews.com
  You are working with a passionate founder. They want to build a product which they are super sure of; they have their pitch deck ready, investors are lined up, and they want to hit market in six months. All they need is a working product: an embodiment of their mission. As a product manager, you do the usual. In a short duration, you conjure up enough details to come up with a roadmap. A plan with all the required features to put the product in the hands of potential users. It is well-detailed,

• Redesign Onboarding Flows using Causal Chain Thinking

  18-12-2025 12:22 via webdesignernews.com
  Most onboarding doesn’t fail because steps are unclear — it fails because workflow thinking ignores how people actually make decisions under uncertainty. Causal Chain Thinking uncovers the beliefs, emotions, and risks that drive or block progress. This lesson shows you how to design onboarding that builds confidence, reduces hesitation, and moves customers forward from the very first interaction.

• Stop doing UX cheerleading

  18-12-2025 12:21 via webdesignernews.com
  Although, with the season’s first snowfall upon us here in New York, it may be time to admit that the picnic season is over. And as the year draws to a close, I can already hear hundreds of keyboards banging out takes on “UX trends to watch” or “the state of UX in 2026.”

• Letter from the Editor-in-Chief

  16-12-2025 21:31 via thenextweb.com
  
  Not long ago, like many of you, I read what I feared might be The Next Web’s final article. In late September, TNW’s co-founder announced that the tech conference and news site would be winding down, no more events, no new stories. It felt like the end of an era; the news hit hard. Yet, just a few weeks ago, a twist arrived: the tech platform Tekpon acquired 100% of TNW’s media and events brand from the Financial Times, ensuring that this nearly two-decade legacy will continue

• Is ChatGPT’s New Shopping Research Solving a Problem, or Creating One?

  11-12-2025 23:37 via thenextweb.com
  
  When OpenAI announced its new shopping search capabilities, I took the news with a grain of salt (perhaps the whole shaker). For the past decade, we have watched the slow evolution of traditional search engines. What began as tools for pure information discovery gradually morphed into ecosystems dominated by SEO-optimized content and sponsored results. My initial fear with ChatGPT’s update was simple: Are we seeing the beginning of a similar shift? Is the purity of the “reasoning en

• Why the Themes and Plugins You Choose Matter to Your Clients

  There’s some truth to that logic. Most of our clients aren’t WordPress experts. They don’t know Yoast SEO from Jetpack. They’re unlikely to know what separates a good theme from a poor one. They depend on us to build their website responsibly.

• Design Token Management Tools 2025: The Complete Guide to 15 Best Solutions

  10-12-2025 09:11 via webdesignernews.com
  The divide between design and development has long been a source of friction in product teams. A designer updates a color in a design system, and three months later, developers are still using the old hex code. A spacing value changes, and suddenly the app looks inconsistent across platforms. This is where design token management tools come in—they’re the bridge that keeps design decisions synchronized across every platform, every team, and every product line.
