@EndrewBiz @simonecanciello You not seen guys financing expensive cars they can barely afford? Or spanking their savings to buy a rolex?

They are paying to cost to appear successful.

Now we just going digital.

@robably__ @dariusdan Ay, no take-backsies.

I'm going to show them this thread when they’re old enough to cope with the devastation

@dariusdan @robably__ My brain skipped a few words and read this as "just get rid of the baby" 🤣

I'm using @paper as a side-tool right now.
But as soon as they components and themes, i'm all in.

- Amazing product
- Cares about and understands their users
- Founder (and team) is active in community

[Kieran Parker @_kprkr]

Good example of when a company forgets why it started & who it was building for.

Instead focusing on things like Make, Slides, Buzz, etc.

figma variables still don’t do gradients

almost 3 years later. it's crazy

@marclou @tonnoz "AI told me it's possible to detect the display angle"

Doesn't @tonnoz literally say that in the video, as he closes his laptop as it plays the same creaking sound 😅

[Kieran Parker @_kprkr]

@jnnnthnn idk man, it looks good but i can almost feel the table wobble from here as i type.

"Your lack of urgency is wasting your potential."

[𝕾𝖎𝖗 𝕮𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖘 @eagleseyeinc]

i once had a close friend in the early 2000s who never asks for advice... no should i? questions, no group chats weighing in, no public planning.

one day he just showed up with a new car. another time he mentioned he’d quit his job and had been running his own thing quietly... nobody knew he’d been saving, studying, failing and retrying. bro never narrated the struggle, he never advertised the intention.

i used to think he was reckless for not looping people in but years later i realized he was just protecting his momentum.

some plans die the moment too many voices touch them, some people work best in silence, where doubt can’t reach them and validation isn’t needed.

not everyone moves loud. some people move alone and arrive fully formed. buena suerte. 👍

[Kieran Parker @_kprkr]

@faisal__chaudry Kinda, we made an mvp/manual version.
It should still be fully functional right @willthomson__ ?

This mobile-nav just feels so calm 🧘‍♂️

[Kieran Parker @_kprkr]

@robably__ @paper Odd feeling.
This wasn’t any live work just in their case study so no biggy.

Was a kinda “hold up…” moment.

[Kieran Parker @_kprkr]

Mum, I made it.

I finally stumbled on some of my work repurposed?
And for one of my favourite up and coming design companies @paper

Same gray, same nav items, same size, same padding, same blur?

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
TBH i'm not overly fussed, just thought it was funny to stumble on something so familiar.

Just excited I get to join to cool designer gang.

@stephenhaney @paper Yeah all good! I figured it wasn’t something final as to why it isn’t too much of a big deal.

Appreciate the reply though!

And yeah did somewhat take it as a compliment tbh 😅

[Kieran Parker @_kprkr]

@paper Found in the Primary Studio case study (and this gif).

[Nick Pattison @thenickpattison]

Working on this case study for @paper is an absolute delight

[Kieran Parker @_kprkr]

@zachmcnair It's all good.
It's a single slide in a case study.
It could be worse 😬
