Designing and coding Comet agents @ Perplexity. NYT crosswords junkie. Festool fanboy.

[Henry Modisett @henrymodis]

Last week was my final week at Perplexity. After nearly four years of full‑speed, labor‑of‑love work, I felt ready to pass the baton. I’m excited to share that @scspeier will lead the design team going forward. There are many things I’m proud of, but most of all I’m proud of the design culture at Perplexity. It fosters boldness, creativity, trust, and, most importantly, real impact. Everyone on the team lives our brand’s values, embodying curiosity and a love of learning. I have no doubt this culture will not only endure but continue to grow as the company evolves under Sebastian’s stewardship. ····

@marcopfortes @perplexity_ai @henrymodis @gunnargray @pklada it's not intended, does it appear the same for you in a different browser?

Web typography just got a huge upgrade.

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):

I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

@Francesco_Oddo @privy_io i can't figure out why I can't remove access to that provider. very weird.

[Chanpory @chanpory]

New York’s hottest club is BYOB at Perpexlity’s new office. It’ll have all vibes from IYKYK to LOL, but no recruiters.

[Henry Modisett @henrymodis]

We're back with BYOB, but this time in the 🍎. We’re hosting an event at our NYC office to create a space for coming together to share and talk about design. Much of design history and inspiration lives in books, making it harder to discover online. So, bring a book and share something that inspires you.

@ariel_n Yes! More people speaking truth please!

@niravbond @henrymodis @perplexity_ai At past companies, I made up projects to address personal pain points in the product. Or I used the down time to find another job. Luckily at Perplexity, we have no shortage of interesting projects for designers

[Chanpory @chanpory]

My Monday at @perplexity_ai:

1. Product design team sync: no-crit meeting to coordinate projects

2. Comet Agent standup

3. Design + Eng jams on three secret projects

4. Submit 5 pull requests

5. Nerding out on corner radii and eslint

6. Designing + prototyping auras

Every time I see the Cursor logo, I think of Battlestar Galactica and how much that show ended too soon

[Ryo Lu @ryolu_]

@logodotdev @cursor_ai we have logo 3 variants – fully shaded, flat shaded, new monochrome

they have all been refined

[Chanpory @chanpory]

@krispuckett He just came out with a book that looks great, but I haven’t picked it up yet

[Chanpory @chanpory]

@krispuckett Oh yes! He has many TikToks on how univocality is not supported by the data
