@nikgraphx @diabrowser Is this coming to DIA browser soon? Having the address bar always visible at the top is a bit annoying.

@creativemints @contra Creativity is no longer a luxury, it's a necessity. Otherwise, you will be buried by tons and tons of slop products that get created every second.

Some work just grabs you and won't let go.

This is one of those pieces.

I had a lot of fun recreating it — and I still come back to it, just to look at it. The distortion, the refraction, the chromatic aberration, that transition in between. It's mesmerizing.

Three years ago, I would have killed this idea before it was born.

↳ Not because the concept was weak — because I knew the execution would be the roadblock, and I didn't want to put that on the dev team.

Today, with AI, I built it myself. Shaped it exactly how I see it, got that artistic vibe I was after.

You do have to deal with hallucinations. But the more you work with AI, the more you understand where it's strong and where it isn't.

Some ideas just needed the right moment to exist.

[Manahi Soufiane @Soufify]

Building a style guide from an existing project used to be one of my least favorite tasks.
Tedious. Manual. The kind of work you put off.

Then I tried the Figma plugin — one click, and it pulled every component, color, and style into a single, visually organized page.

That's when it hit me: the best tools don't just save time. They remove the friction that was quietly killing your motivation to do the work at all.

There's a difference between a tool that makes something faster and a tool that makes you actually want to do it.
That's the bar worth building toward.

Most SaaS products are built for the average user. Which means they're built for no one in particular.

The shift I see coming: products that don't just serve users — they let users build on top of them. Tools fluid enough to adapt to individual workflows, not just personas.

That's what makes a product truly inclusive. Not more features. Not better onboarding.

The ability for each user to shape the tool around their specific need.
AI makes this possible at a scale we've never had before.

The most powerful SaaS products of the next decade won't be the most feature-rich. They'll be the most adaptable.

@creativemints That touch is always recognizable — I can tell it's you just from the design.
Legendary work, genuinely love what you do.

[Manahi Soufiane @Soufify]

@ohitswes @framer Man, it's almost like you're reading my mind.

[Manahi Soufiane @Soufify]

@sabosugi @MaxPalmer666 @framer Thanks for all the feedback. Unfortunately, I'm unable to code, so that will be a block for me.

[Manahi Soufiane @Soufify]

@MaxPalmer666 @sabosugi @framer Are you referring to building Shopify templates using Framer or another tool? I'd love some guidance on this.

[Manahi Soufiane @Soufify]

I think this could be exciting news for the Framer community.

[Jorn van Dijk @jornvandijk]

@LucaAmesDesign @framer We’re writing a guide on how our algos work and plan to release it next week.

[Manahi Soufiane @Soufify]

@CharlesPattson Where can I get the invitation?

[Manahi Soufiane @Soufify]

@creativemints @framer Your designs are instantly recognizable—such a specific and artistic touch. Thanks for sharing!

[Manahi Soufiane @Soufify]

The AI bros missed the point entirely.

It's not that AI couldn't remake Apple's ad.

It's everything behind it — the decisions, the tiny details, the creativity that informed every single frame.

That's not a tool problem. That's a human problem. A vision problem.

I can prompt AI to generate the Mona Lisa.

That doesn't make me the Leonardo Da Vinci of this century.

The person is the work. The creativity is the work. The tool is just the tool — it always has been, it always will be.

Anyone who frames it differently has missed the whole point.

[Manahi Soufiane @Soufify]

The tool is never the point.

I can ask AI to reimagine the Mona Lisa. That doesn't make me Leonardo da Vinci.

There's a massive misunderstanding happening right now — and some people are deliberately pushing it.

The real moment is when you're standing in front of a blank canvas. That's where creativity actually lives. That's where it sparks.

The tool is just how you get there.

The hero of the show has always been the human behind it — your experiences, your knowledge, your creativity.

That's what matters. That's what always will.

By no means am I saying this is better but I mean come on

All the AI video hate is straight cope

you can now launch the EXACT same marketing videos as Apple for a fraction of the cost as solo founder

I made this in 20 mins with seedance 2.5

[Manahi Soufiane @Soufify]

@zedmadeit I can ask the AI to reproduce Mona Lisa but this doesn't mean that's the Mona Lisa is bad. the creativity transcend the tool no matter how advanced this tool is it remains a tool

[Jorn van Dijk @jornvandijk]

A new version of the @framer marketplace is almost ready.

Please select the most reasonable next step.

[Manahi Soufiane @Soufify]

I personally found two roadblocks with the new agents inside of Framer. The first one is you need a site plan in order to use the credits, and that's unfortunate for people who design templates and design for clients.

Second thing is the ability to use local models, that will be a huge improvement and very cost saving for. Us designer and framer user in general.

[Manahi Soufiane @Soufify]

@bynneh @framer The focus on enabling creators to monetize through affiliate templates and components is clear.Feels like a strong marketing angle for Framer. The marketplace shift is tough for creators Framer needs to address this quickly to keep creators onboard.

[Manahi Soufiane @Soufify]

@hxmzaehsan @nickbakeddesign Using this alongside local models could be a real win for designers.

Credits and tokens are getting pretty expensive — that cost adds up fast.

@GabeTognon Where can someone access this dashboard from?
