@boymolish Some of us thankfully had our style evolutions at a young age. Largely due to style and fashion community forums like KTT, Superfuture, NikeTalk, etc..

Community based online fashion learning fell off in this gen compared to the impact of influencer fashion and curation pages.

[erick— @0xErick]

@boymolish Menswear was uninspired for a long time because of the stigma against expressive styles (feminine).

The tide is shifting though.

Just began exploring the plugins. And Wow!

This is a huge unlock for OpenAI and the ecosystem.

You can now use ChatGPT to explore the web.

I've developed a lot of plugin systems, and the OpenAI ChatGPT plugin interface might be the damn craziest and most impressive approach I've ever seen in computing in my entire life.

@bluboy__ Congrats, huge W! 🥹

We love to see it.

[Blu Boy @bluboy__]

I will like to officially announce, I will be working with Balmain 🥂

Made it to this point with No team, no assistant, no degree, no fancy art studio, no management, and most importantly no excuses.

Stay tuned ❤️

Since I see discussion about upcycling and what's considered "waste" I thought it would be a nice opportunity to share that this Sailor Moon costume my mom made for Halloween was made from old sweatshirts and an umbrella 😌 she was WAY more creative and resourceful than I am!

[erick— @0xErick]

Kind of crazy to see how this is all more accessible with 4 key elements:

1. Good costume design
2. Green screen
3. AI apps
4. A story

[erick— @0xErick]

@wahVinci At least he looks like he's having fun 😂

The most powerful way to change your life is to be in a community of others who are doing the same.

[erick— @0xErick]

Make your prior best, your new baseline

[erick— @0xErick]

So true.

And that’s why coaching is powerful because you get that same feedback loop quicker.

The best accountability partners cheer each other on and coach each other.

Reminder to self:

Most people don't have support systems.

Help your customer see the progress they HAVE made.

• Celebrate the little steps they've already taken
• Show them they "have what it takes"
• Be their biggest believer

Be the one who is there for them.

@multimicah Framer is so similar to Figma that most times it makes more sense to just prototype directly in Framer.

Plus animations and micro-animations are more intuitive and easier to setup than Webflow if your CSS and GSAP skills aren't there yet.

[erick— @0xErick]

@multimicah I'm a framer dev as well as full-stack.

It works well for certain projects and quick builds of marketing pages. Sometimes I struggle with the internal conflict of devoting time to specialize in these tools.

Depends on your goals.

It's a huge value add for designers tho.

[erick— @0xErick]

That's because this requires more collaboration between companies and startups.

And that has it's own set of challenges:
- Mutual benefit
- Time
- Structure of offer & approach
- Great outcomes for end user

App Icons are low lift and I can see Family doing this as well.

[0xDesigner @0xDesigner]

I can’t think of a more innovative web3 UX than token-gated features. Owning a pooly NFT now unlocks a new @rainbowdotme app icon.

I know this one is seemingly trivial, but why the f*** isn’t every web3 product doing something like this?

@visakanv NYC is sometimes like living at 2x speed

Carpe diem

There's never a wrong time to start writing a newsletter, using Twitter, building your podcast, or launching a YouTube channel.

You don't need anyone's permission to change your life in the next 12 months.

Could double as an Interior designer if it also recommends products used in the generations with links to purchase.

@samselikoff Great point.

Eslint setup is always a pain for newcomers.

[erick— @0xErick]

@i_gassmann @samselikoff Yeah that's the behavior I currently get.

Still need to select the right option from the list to import correctly.

Not sure it's possible to auto import it without selecting the right one.
