I'm looking for a collection of simple, focused, platform-agnostic design skills.

@impeccable_ai is difficult to setup, does too many things, very verbose, and has web-specific jargon

So basically @mattpocockuk 's skills but for design

[Maxim Orlov @_maximization]

@mattpocockuk Exampling a few "flows" of how you these skills together and when could be useful.

I'd do /improve-codebase-architecture, and then what? /to-issues?

[Maxim Orlov @_maximization]

@mattpocockuk Been trying /domain-model in the last 24h and really like it so far. Hopefully context.md grows into something that will facilitate AI dev a lot.

How does claude.md/agents.md differ from context.md in this case?

[Maxim Orlov @_maximization]

Just saw that @GitHubCopilot announced their free tier for everyone

They also have an affordable paid tier

How does it compare to @cursor_ai ?

[Maxim Orlov @_maximization]

My favorite new GitLens feature is this button that lets AI generate a commit message based looking at your staged files 🙌

Sending out an update email to Node.js Toolbox subscribers.

Quite a few new additions since last update: 2 new categories – Geospatial Analysis and Markdown Tools, and 9 new libraries.

Bringing the total to 51 categories & 266 libraries. All handpicked.

Found another neat course platform for self-hosting https://t.co/xiSQXDeLTa

[Maxim Orlov @_maximization]

Stumbled upon https://t.co/h2tOkPxCq6 today. Looks neat.

What are the other self-hosted course platforms out there?

What are this year's BFCM deals aggregator sites?

Last year I remember it was https://t.co/k2uQy6912s and https://t.co/MtIIGMnUc2

Also https://t.co/cJH0SbwL8u by @dceddia , will you update it for this year?

Reviews for IceBuddy are flowing in 🔥

[Maxim Orlov @_maximization]

Launched the landing page for IceBuddy, a cold water therapy app 🧊 📱 ⌚

Created with @relume_io and @webflow. Went from prompt to a website in ~2h. Remaining few hours were spent on polishing design and creating the media

@liran_tal Nice! AI-driven development. It's amazing how much these tools can accomplish.

I've been playing with Cursor lately too. Wish the UI was more friendly. I think there's a gap in the market for an editor built with AI in mind for the ground up, that integrates like Bolt

Finished Day 91 of #100daysofswiftui by building Flashzilla

Learned about timers which is handy since I'll be using it in IceBuddy

Biggest hurdle was realising that on swipe left the card wouldn't go back into the stack because I didn't reset the offset 🤦‍♂️

[Maxim Orlov @_maximization]

More people seem to struggle with this

[Maxim Orlov @_maximization]

Is there a way to not have @cursor_ai move file tabs upfront when applying suggested code changes from chat?

[Maxim Orlov @_maximization]

@rudrank I did bump into some compiling issues so had to do Product > Clean Build Folder in XCode

[Maxim Orlov @_maximization]

Completed #100DaysOfSwiftUI! 🎉 (with distinction 🥇)

Took just over a month, with some weekends off. Avg. 4 days/day and now confident building apps in SwiftUI

Thanks @twostraws for an amazing learning experience. As a teacher myself, I even learned some teaching techniques!

Finished Day 99 of #100daysofswiftui by building SnowSeeker

Learned about split views and practiced more core skills. I feel it's easier & faster for me to build with SwiftUI, and the resulting code seems cleaner too 🙌

[Maxim Orlov @_maximization]

Finished Day 95 of #100daysofswiftui with another app built from scratch: DiceRoller

Kept the design simple and focused on functionality.

Moving on to the last project. Can't wait to resume work on IceBuddy!
