@BritonBaker @SnazzyLabs @ChristianSelig Worth noting that post I replied to with my animation was someone who worked at Apple. They were involved.

@BritonBaker @SnazzyLabs @ChristianSelig I can confirm I didn’t invent it, and it’s Apple’s idea.

Ever wonder what gear Daft Punk used to achieve their iconic robot sound? Longtime fan & musician Marc Edwards researched, bought, & tested around 25 pieces of music gear then published an amazing article and 2 videos covering this topic! Check them out!

@DanFessler @timsoret @csmartdalton Render each segment in its own conservative rasterised triangle and use the SDF in the way you would for antialiasing, but make it wider. https://t.co/j9UbgUNX0d

@chriswallace @DannPetty To this day, there are so many features that I find essential for product design that Photoshop does and no other design tool gets right. Yes, it’s absolutely the wrong tool, but it’s a shame to have lost so many good techniques and features.

@DannPetty Skala is coming.

@jonkantner @CodePen I assume you’ve seen this? https://t.co/mDoTnXgK04

Hot new Figma plugin by the legend @marcedwards just dropped.

Pinwheel is for exporting color variables as Design Tokens JSON. It might be the first plugin to do this with full support of sRGB and Display P3. And? it’s free.

[Marc Edwards @marcedwards]

There’s lots of ways to blend between colours, and many of them are useful. OKLCH can look great, but it’s not ideal when the hues you’re blending are too different. Pinwheel supports four types of colour blending when creating gradients.

[Marc Edwards @marcedwards]

We’ve just released a new app! Pinwheel is a Mac app for converting colors and creating design systems. https://t.co/dzWr4dAgmg

Say hello to iStat Menus 7! What’s new? Everything. iStat Menus 7 is a full reboot, sporting an all-new design with hundreds of big and small improvements. https://t.co/0oVkXaBe9s

[Marc Edwards @marcedwards]

@DannPetty I hope this is already clear, but just in case it isn’t: I’m pushing back because I respect you. I see the future as an optimistic one for the future of design. Everything in the world is becoming software, so the need for designers will continue to grow.

@DannPetty Also, if training on copyright data is deemed illegal, all the current models are utterly screwed. There’s enough cases in play that one may be decided in favour of copyright owners. My advice to juniors is the same as always — get good at the fundamentals.

[Marc Edwards @marcedwards]

@DannPetty Has design changed in the past 20 years? I’m not sure it really has. Someone who is familiar with Adobe’s apps and HTML/CSS from 2004 could be teleported to today and get up to speed very quickly. I’m not even sure LLMs and image gen is going to radically alter things.
