@JaceThings Your comparison transition could maybe benefit from a will-change. it's slightly laggy.

Coolest thing about the AI era is seeing the explosion in tiny tools that designers are creating.

Projects that aren't easy to scale or monetize, and were only built because a passionate person thought it would be cool.

@verycracked Yeah i'll check it out

[Austin Byrd @AustinTByrd]

I was deeply obsessed with the idea for 3 or 4 years. Considered every angle. And even had distribution figured out. Every design founder you've heard of was signed up

To summarize:
• Consumer products are brutally difficult.
• Designers are the hardest possible user.
• It's not actually the portfolio building that is the pain. It's curating your work, collecting the right visuals, and then writing the right things. None of that has a straightforward solution.

@JoelTankard Incredible obviously but where are these slider components from? They're so good.

@JoelTankard @hannah_ahn Wait, what? How did you do this?

Insane to see how much Intercom has done a 180º pivot on their branding. From AI-generated to human-made.

Wonder what happened
