I asked Fable 5.2 to "go wild" making a game, and all I got was this Pong clone.

And then I played it ...

@alessio_joseph Agree. The Hyundai N Vision 74 is a strong recent example.

[Scot Copeland @1TLabs]

Very clever.

I am never deleting this app.

Honestly, turn the entire world into one giant data centre if this is the kind of content get in return.

[Scot Copeland @1TLabs]

I'm calling it now

@Bluer_Popcorn @BrianRoemmele @grok @grok How much funding has Anthropic received from outside investment this year? Also, this year, how much has Anthropic spent on marketing?

[Scot Copeland @1TLabs]

@pieteromvlee I sure hope @elyxdesign will work more tightly with native codebases. The existing design tools focus too heavily on web-based experiences. Very excited for the launch!

[Scot Copeland @1TLabs]

Though AI Doomers + Politics are all the rage this week, https://t.co/Pl0iJHThFa looks like an awesome tool for designing SF Symbols.

@OpacityHQ @jpegliz @jpegliz A plugin?

[Scot Copeland @1TLabs]

@OpacityHQ solves hard, overdue design software problems and actually brings designers and engineers closer together in their tool.

Most exciting product I've seen in years.

[Zoah (formerly Opacity) @OpacityHQ]

The pen tool hasn't changed since 1987. We're rebuilding it at Opacity.

@0xCharlota dont forget the CMS, analytics, search integration...

@designertom ZAM!

TLDR; This wordmark is a missed opportunity, and I'm willing to wager it won't last half as long as the previous one.

Maybe in the future we'll see more about the effort that went into this result, but for now, details are sparse - and it shows.

There's only three letters that attempt the script style from the original mark, while the other six are generally geometric sans-serifs with little customization.

The mix of connected terminals (n&s, and r&a) and disconnected terminals make the visual flow choppy. And the terminal connecting the r to the a feels lazy.

The counters in the a's and g are super distracting.
They overshadow the pleasant cursive s. The cursive r on the other hand is almost unrecognizable. It stands out the most.

From the interview on It's Nice That with the team, it's clear they wanted to combine old and new, but this result feels like they didn't. It's a mess.

"Spotted the send button 4x faster" - Is Google still employing a UX research team?

Who on the team decided that an important metric to test and then tout was a first click test on the send button?

Did anyone test whether a better choice of color palette would solve the same problem with a smaller send button?

I'm having a visceral reaction to so many high profile companies like Google releasing shitty designs to the public and not recognizing they're shit.

[Scot Copeland @1TLabs]

@GoogleDesign Off topic, but c'mon y'all. A slider for fill 0-1?

[Scot Copeland @1TLabs]

The replies... 💀 No notes.

[Google Design @GoogleDesign]

Celebrating small wins is hardwired into "Achieve," our goal-tracking sample app.

We wanted the simple act of checking off a task to feel like a celebration. Instead of the standard #Material ripple, we used Styles to drop in a custom, high-contrast completion animation—specifically, a brand-colored ring that expands and fades on tap, paired with a subtle pressed-state gradient.

It lets us focus entirely on polishing those custom, rewarding micro-interactions while Material handles the foundation.
