@Dimillian translation: should we copy Claude desktop app?

[Mahdi Farra @mahdif]

@MatthewBerman obviously! why would they take any risk

[Mahdi Farra @mahdif]

@DavidOndrej1 I hit my limits more than I’d like to admit… can’t wait for local open source models to catch up, but at the current pace that’s not happening anytime soon

[Mahdi Farra @mahdif]

@DanKulkov I didn't know bubble was still a thing

[Mahdi Farra @mahdif]

@oceanadomains @AiBreakfast 💯 😭

[Mahdi Farra @mahdif]

@DanKulkov lol the stack is mostly something we nerds argue about with each other

[Mahdi Farra @mahdif]

@vanschneider you can only verify it does what it's supposed to do if someone actually figured out what it's supposed to do. feels like that's the part designers and devs end up sharing

[Mahdi Farra @mahdif]

@brian_lovin @ramintahbaz step three: it opens a PR to change what it’s not allowed to touch

[Mahdi Farra @mahdif]

@paulg agents made this way more realistic... a lot of what a seed round used to pay for is a $200/mon sub now

[Mahdi Farra @mahdif]

Worth the 8 minutes if you design anything.

The “if you’re still using Figma you won’t make it” take mixes up building the thing with figuring out what the thing is... I build with agents every day and I still open Figma/Paper for the second part

[Luke @LukeADesign]

My thoughts on the recent topic of design tools, human creativity and automating it all with agents

@heyblake let's goooo

After a couple of hours using it actively, I noticed a few things:

1. Formatting doesn't always work. When I talk through a list of things, it doesn't always format it as a list.

2. It doesn't auto-learn new words like Wispr Flow does, so company jargon and unique names have to be added to the dictionary manually... a little annoying.

3. It feels a little faster and more responsive than Wispr Flow for some reason.

[Mahdi Farra @mahdif]

this is actually prettttty good and easily comparable to the dictation quality I'm getting from Wispr Flow... for free

Also a little faster?

[Granola @meetgranola]

Granola now does voice typing. Unlimited words, for free.

Granola already writes your meeting notes. Now it can do the typing for you, in any app.

[Mahdi Farra @mahdif]

Just got this email from Wisper Flow. Things with Granola is heating up...

[Mahdi Farra @mahdif]

@rameerez maybe they're out of tokens?

[Mahdi Farra @mahdif]

I love the new Microsoft laptop

[Rich DeMuro @richontech]

First touches on the new touchscreen MacBook Pro

[Mahdi Farra @mahdif]

@gaddafirusli it's on my list to try this week. I tried the earlier version and it was pretty good (Very similar to Paper and doesn't charge for using their MCP)

[Mahdi Farra @mahdif]

@thekitze windows 12 looking great

[Mahdi Farra @mahdif]

Peak Syntax attention to detail: a custom macro pad with swappable keycaps, and lanyards made of USB-C cables

[Mahdi Farra @mahdif]

Been listening to @syntaxfm since the early days, and last night I finally got to meet @wesbos, @stolinski and @CodingGarden in person. Every episode feels like hanging out with friends, and turns out they're just as great IRL ✌️
