Side projects are my favorite way to learn new skills.

@rauchg Usefulness

@Simondo65 @christianlc @TrungTPhan What about @halidecamera ? Does it do magic or just take photos?

[Jacob Ruiz @JacobRuizDesign]

@jordienr Yosemite and Big Sur. Can’t go wrong

[Jacob Ruiz @JacobRuizDesign]

@degisner Nice, it looks great 👌

@blankresident What's the better alternative?

[Jacob Ruiz @JacobRuizDesign]

@Jon4Lakers The pastels would be cooler if the apple logo was the same hue but with saturation turned up

[Jacob Ruiz @JacobRuizDesign]

@sarthakgh Sounds like Pinker has never heard of fruit: matter that arranges itself into food and does everything it can to be eaten.

[Jacob Ruiz @JacobRuizDesign]

@DanCalle @dsiroker Good point, that makes sense

[Jacob Ruiz @JacobRuizDesign]

@BasicAppleGuy My first lesson that form over function can be worth it if the form is good enough.

@pmarca Do you fight?

@stevegraham I don’t understand what people mean when they say “there’s nothing to do in city X”.

Don’t all cities have the same things to do? Restaurants, bars, parks, museums. Every city is the same.

@andrewhart Did you learn anything about:

1. What happens in you expand a window to be larger than your room?

2. What if someone walks through your window? (eg. coding in a coffee shop)

3. What if you look into a mirror with UI present?

@ImSh4yy Beautiful. How are you color matching the background with the emoji?

@alexcornell @figma Would love to see premium fonts I don't yet know about right there in the font picker. One click to try the preview version, another click to buy the full font if I like it.
