The perfect file upload pattern

Adam Silver:

The best file upload pattern is the one where you don’t even have to take a photo, let alone upload one.

It’s hard work to do so little.

It takes a lot of effort to produce such an effortless interaction.

It often involves:

  • coordinating across departments
  • getting organisational agreement
  • hooking up the backend

“Hey Claude, let’s add a file upload field” won’t get you there.
