🏡 A home that feels like us

I can finally share some shots of our home. I’ll share more as they get published.

(The designers named it Kirwani. :)

@masuduruigeekco @operate_gtm glad you like it 🤝

🧲 Follow-up to the dynamic tables: multi-select with mouse or keyboard

[Alvish 🧙‍♂️ @alvish]

@stevelauda_ @operate_gtm nah, you're too kind. 🙏

🏗️ No checkbox column. Drag across rows, shift-click a range, or cmd-click to select one. Adjacent rows join into one block. From search: Tab focuses a row, Space selects it, Enter opens it, and Esc clears and returns you to search. Shift + ↑/↓ expands the range from where you started. It doesn’t wipe what you already picked.

@iamdavidhill I still call it a right sidebar

[Alvish 🧙‍♂️ @alvish]

@joebell_ Please don’t ruin it.

[Alvish 🧙‍♂️ @alvish]

👀 New handle, who dis?

[Alvish 🧙‍♂️ @alvish]

@iamdavidhill Skill issue. 😂 Should’ve picked a rarer name, David.

[Alvish 🧙‍♂️ @alvish]

@stevelauda_ Been wanting this one for a while.

[Alvish 🧙‍♂️ @alvish]

@aarondfrancis Later! 🥱

⌨️ I’ve been seeing a lot of engineers jamming in Figma lately. One piece of advice: make the shortcuts muscle memory.

Half the frustration disappears once you stop hunting through the UI.

Whenever you want to do something, first look up its shortcut with ⌃⇧? and force yourself to use it.

You’ll pick up Figma way faster. 🤝

@raunofreiberg @julianfkelly ⌘+Click too.

[Alvish 🧙‍♂️ @alvish]

@raunofreiberg ✔️ I almost never touch the layers panel.

🧭 A few weeks ago, I was exploring a few different nav layouts.

Navigation feels even more crucial in AI-native apps now. It’s surprisingly hard to figure out what should be separate, what should be grouped, and what deserves to be one click away.

Haven’t landed anywhere near yet since we’re still too early, so sticking with what we have rn.

Mostly just scratching an itch and exploring.

@TarunMangukiya 🤝

[Alvish 🧙‍♂️ @alvish]

@joshpuckett @withgraphical Damn, dude!

[Alvish 🧙‍♂️ @alvish]

@ridd_design We at Operate have been rocking Phosphor for a while. Considering a switch now, and I’m torn between Central and Nucleo.

[Alvish 🧙‍♂️ @alvish]

@danielsun_ui @RogoAI @chriszachary YES!!! Congrats man! 🥳

[Alvish 🧙‍♂️ @alvish]

@chanbandara94 @operate_gtm Yeah, that and figuring out what should stay grouped vs separate
