Bret Victor described it in Magic Ink nearly 20 years ago. 'Interactivity is actually a curse for users and a crutch for designers.' @WaferSystems is what comes next.

People take my videos without giving me credit.

So I keep giving them more.

Here is @Shmall who is showing me a new AI-run mobile phone.

I think his system is way more interesting than what @sama showed me in a Mexican restaurant years ago here.

At the @fdotinc startup festival. Which starts in two hours.

I will have a lot more to say about what Sam is building soon.

Markdown is the most important file format these days. I’ve been searching for a good solution to review markdown files to no avail.

I tried Obsidian but their vault system was quite limiting for my use case. They also don’t have a CLI to easily open files.

TUI solutions are too limited in their rendering capabilities.

So I built Marky. A lightweight markdown viewer with a CLI that makes it trivial to open folders and files.

@raphaelschaad our bet is that this will be a mobile operating system (fork of android)

- it has all of your context (both work + personal)
- you have it with you 24/7
- the smartphone is the most widely distributed form factor of computer in the world

Special team building something truly transformative, unique and magical.

They say your phone knows more about you than your mom. So why can't Siri tell me things like how much I spent on food delivery this month?

DM me if you want to try a phone that can.

@thepapabosh @Shmall Vote UI but might be biased

[Sam Hall @Shmall]

when we were taking this, we planned on the weights being visible, so @thepapabosh had to unnecessarily bench 225 for like 15 reps

[Josh Hart @joshhart]

Dear designer,

You're not cooked. It's not over. You just became 10x more powerful as long as you don't sit there and do nothing. You can move faster and build your ideas. You can provide the human touch that will be needed to stand out.

It's your time to shine if you adapt.

MCP is important. what SMTP is to email, MCP is to LLMs

and what a standard mail protocol did for email clients, a standard data protocol will do for chat apps
