first thing I've noticed when starting to use Claude Code this weekend to build my portfolio was the cute mascot - asked Claude to build me an animation for it 🦀 hehe

We also shipped a ton of new Claude Code features today, including:

- checkpointing
- a new VSCode extension
- tab to think

do you know any apps or websites that are focused on saving short texts/quotes in a nice way? just for your own reference?

not blog links and photos etc. just text

"When digital technology began seeping into their lives, with its AOL email accounts, Myspace pages and Napster downloads, it didn’t seem like a threat. But by the time they entered the primes of their careers, much of their expertise had become all but obsolete."

impactful read - makes me think of how history repeats itself.

After advising 50+ consumer companies over the last year, the one thing that separates those who can execute and those who can't:

Having a full-time designer in the room at all times

I've met with countless companies that have raised millions—and even one that has raised billions—that do not even have a designer on payroll.

This makes product development broken:

1/ You simply cannot have constructive conversations about ideas without visualizing them in real-time
2/ Your experiments will frequently have inconclusive results because users cannot discover features or they misunderstand how they work
3/ There is no one who can galvanize the team with a vision of what the product could look and feel like

And to be abundantly clear: I'm not referring to visual UI or graphics. I'm talking about someone who can think through the fundamental building blocks of product comprehension—like navigation, interaction and copywriting—and is technically savvy enough to visualize those components in high resolution.

There can certainly be exceptions to not having a designer, like where the CEO is an exceptional visual thinker, but that does not scale beyond a small team.

At the end of day, products live and die in the pixels: it's what the users see and tap. And without someone shepherding that process, you are effectively wandering the desert blind.

a quick break down of how i've been using midjourney's retexturing tool:

- i start by generating several assets to then collage those pieces together in photoshop and or figma.

- i take that collage/reference and use @midjourney retexturing tool (@visualelectric just released this feature as well) experiment with various styles, lighting, and moods.

- why do I like this method? it gives me way more control over the composition. i'm able to move elements around and try different layouts and aspect ratios. the possibilities are endless.

@jittervideo hey jitter team! Is there a way to keep the text as a string when exporting to Lottie? We want to be able to change the text with code, so having it as a vector doesn't work

like this person does here with after effects:

I love companies that spend time and money on video communication. This is how you do it. Invest in your story telling that fits with today's consumption. VIDEO.
