Product Design Engineer @GoogleLabs exploring the future of design, dev, and software

[Roman Nurik @romannurik]

New year, new work: recently joined @GoogleLabs to explore the future of design, dev, and software. More to come in 2026!

[Roman Nurik @romannurik]

In the past 2 weeks I've played with:

🎙️ gemini live api
🎨 shaders 'n' fx (@npm_i_shaders @threejs)
📜 infinite canvases 'n' noodlegrams (@xyflowdev)
⌨️ semantic .md editors (@tiptap_editor)
⚽ realtime multiplayer (@firebase RTDB ftw)
🧠 bg agents (custom)

so. much. fun.

We have a Stitch MCP. We have a Stitch SDK. But, we don't have a Stitch CLI. Well, not until now.

Introducing the @google/stitch CLI:

🔷 Connect to your local coding agents
🔷 Generate screens and design systems
🔷 Send a local dev server snapshot to Stitch

Do it all without leaving the terminal or better yet, ask your favorite harness like @antigravity 😎

I worked on Firebase for 12 years. I built the tool I think it desperately needs.

https://t.co/fplk839etc - A disposable Firebase environment with all the tools to generate complex Security Rules and data structures.

No project, no config, or even a account. Point it at your agent and let it cook.

@kurrik Nice!

@cpsloal @rodydavis @antigravity Ughhhhhhh I was supposed to be away from tech this weekend

Finally. I shipped a side-project.

Introducing inbrowser. Pluggable AI architecture totally in the browser.

site: https://t.co/eRIpEnMlYp
repo: https://t.co/pXLWBKzdws

@​inbrowser/model: on-device w/ transformers.js & webgpu. Cloud model proxies and OpenRouter BYOK flows.

@​inbrowser/agent: pluggable client-side agent architecture

@​inbrowser/resumable: pick up and resume across refreshes

@​inbrowser/relay: when you need a server, syncs resumable jobs and picks up across network drops and backgrounded tabs.

@dalmaer @itsakdev I feel like there's a "Florida Man" meme for this but "Nebraska Dog" instead

@mbleigh the future of services is headless / api-first

@adhidesign looks gorgeous, bookmarking for next week!

[Adhithya Ramakumar @adhidesign]

I wrote an AI primer for my design team.

It's the one I wished existed when I started getting serious about designing & building products for the AI age.

A lot of it is interactive. You can actually play with the ideas, not just read them.

Instead of skills it'd be nice if npm packages just shipped with docs for agents in a standard way (and agents just used them)

[David East @_davideast]

Architects who live in the building design better.

DESIGN.md is open because it should be shaped by real use rather than just the drawing board.

7,000+ stars in 4 days. We are ready to roll.

I've been at @Google since I was an intern, and there's never been a more exciting time. The place is pulsating.

We're hiring :)

Had the best time at @forum_tokyo — an instant staple of our design community for years to come. Thank you @NotoriousUSB for having me!

Why is it in movies/shows about the future, no one's ever walking around with a cracked screen or at least a phone case? ... subtly suggesting human clumsiness gets solved by 2060 or something?

[Roman Nurik @romannurik]

Working with some folks on some really exciting experiments... can't wait to share more and start getting folks' feedback in the coming weeks!

Developer Week Day 2. 🛠️

We just gave your Coding Agent a Design Degree🎓🎨

Introducing the Stitch MCP Server. 🔌

You can now pipe Stitch designs directly into your favorite tools like Antigravity.

* Generate new screens without leaving your IDE
* Fetch the code from any design
* Inject context: Give your agent full visual awareness
