• No Wifi? No problem: The traveler’s guide to eSIMs

  13-03-2023 13:51 via thenextweb.com
  
  The reasons you’ll want to stay connected while traveling are pretty obvious: unless you’re planning an Into the Wild style off the grid experience, you’ll probably want to be able to use your data to find your way around, buy tickets, upload photos onto social media, fire up that local dating app, or whatever you like to do while abroad. But, international data and calling rates can place a hefty burden on your travel budget, not to mention roaming fees which vary with every

• AI is old news. Generative AI is the future.

  10-01-2026 12:12 via thenextweb.com
  
  The term Artificial Intelligence (AI) is well known, often evoking futuristic movies like Robocop, Terminator and The Matrix. Yet what many don’t realize is that AI has been part of our lives for decades. When you finish watching a movie on a streaming platform and instantly see recommendations for similar content, that’s AI. When you’re shopping online and an entire page of suggested products appears, that’s AI. Even the digital ads yo

• Are Tech giants killing cold outreach?

  09-01-2026 17:03 via thenextweb.com
  
  This is one of the most concerning questions for sales teams at the beginning of 2026: are tech giants killing cold outreach? The answer is that we do not know yet, but here is a perspective from someone working in sales. Apple and Google have recently introduced two features that show a clear tendency toward the decline of cold outreach. Apple’s new feature, “Ask Reason for Calling,” is a game changer. It effectively turns cold calling into another form of messaging. No more

• ChatGPT Health has arrived

  08-01-2026 13:30 via thenextweb.com
  
  I’ve said this many times: the products we see on the market are rarely visionary leaps. Most of the time, they are mirrors. They reflect people’s habits, shortcuts, fears, and small daily behaviours. Design follows behaviour. Always has. Think about it. You probably know at least one person who already uses ChatGPT for health-related questions. Not occasionally. Regularly. As a second opinion. As a place to test concerns before saying them out loud. Sometimes even as a therapist, a

• Who decides the best AI?

  07-01-2026 13:10 via thenextweb.com
  
  The AI industry has become adept at measuring itself. Benchmarks improve, model scores rise, and every new release arrives with a list of metrics meant to signal progress. And yet, somewhere between the lab and real life, something keeps slipping. Which model actually feels better to use? Which answers would a human trust? Which system would you put in front of customers, employees, or citizens and feel comfortable standing behind it? That gap is where LMArena has quietly built its business, an

• Big stages, smaller impact.

  06-01-2026 13:45 via thenextweb.com
  
  For years, the tech industry equated success with scale. Bigger stages, larger crowds, more logos, more panels, more noise. Five thousand people became ten thousand. Ten thousand became the goal. Somewhere along the way, that stopped making sense. Founders and executives didn’t announce a boycott. They simply stopped showing up. What we see today is not a rejection of events, but a correction in how people who actually run companies choose to spend their time. The shift is subtle, but con

• Typography hierarchy principles for usable ui

  05-01-2026 14:44 via webdesignernews.com
  Users do not read interfaces line by line. They scan screens quickly, looking for signals that tell them where to focus and what actions to take. In this context, text is not just content it is a structural tool that shapes how users understand and navigate an interface.

• When a WordPress Site Needs a Rehab Instead of a Full Redesign

  05-01-2026 14:43 via webdesignernews.com
  Websites built with WordPress are no exception. Backwards compatibility is indeed a hallmark of the WordPress core software. However, themes and plugins can still fall behind. Their functionality may no longer be up to snuff. They could become abandoned by their author and no longer see updates. Or, they may struggle with responsive design and accessibility.

  05-01-2026 14:39 via webdesignernews.com
  When we think about people who are deaf, we often assume stereotypes, such as “disabled” older adults with hearing aids. However, this perception is far from the truth and often leads to poor decisions and broken products.

• React form primitives: a simpler way to handle forms

  05-01-2026 14:38 via webdesignernews.com
  Working with forms in React is one of the most common frontend tasks — and one of the easiest places to accumulate technical debt. Before worrying about architecture, every developer has to understand the basics: how form events work, how values flow from inputs, and how React and TypeScript model those interactions.

  Modern CSS has quietly evolved into something much more structural and system-driven. And the reason Tailwind CSS feels so “natural” today is not hype—it’s because it aligns perfectly with how modern UI is actually built.

• Five stars, Zero trust

  02-01-2026 17:23 via thenextweb.com
  
  Five stars used to mean something. People still read reviews before buying software. They just don’t trust them the way they used to. And no, this isn’t about fake reviews or obvious scams. Those are easy to spot. The real problem is more uncomfortable. The review economy didn’t collapse. It slowly drifted away from its original purpose. User reviews began as authentic buyer guidance, but they’ve morphed into strategic assets for businesses. Scroll through any app store

• A 2025 recap for Tech & AI

  31-12-2025 11:28 via thenextweb.com
  
  2025 was the year technology stopped being tomorrow’s promise and became today’s anchor. What began as a surge in generative AI and platform innovation two years prior crystallized this year into concrete shifts in how people work, governing bodies legislate, and markets invest. Across continents and industries, the arc of technology bent toward practical impact, regulatory reality, and economic weight. At the heart of the year’s story was artificial intelligence’s jump

• 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.

  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
