web, software, design

[Connor @coshge]

it’s disorienting how much AI has both progressed and regressed web design lately.

many sites I see now are bad. not old and retro-bad, eyeball bleeding-bad.

but a well-thought-out idea and two days can now get you a consistent, responsive, lively UI that used to take 3 months.

@aibekintech tolaria is so snappy, and just connected to a git repo. much prefer it over notion/obsidian even if the integration ecosystem is much smaller.

@masumparvej_ feels a little like arc browser (RIP). is that whole top rectangle the search bar? Not sure I've ever seen that in a design before, love how its done.

about 8,000 halftone dots on a canvas, sized by the brightness of the media underneath.

click and the dissolve ripples out from your cursor, hold and the lens opens to full colour.

super tiny community and not something I talk about much on here, but if you are interested in forging knives or know someone who is, drop by https://t.co/fV8i4LQdSk - theres nothing like it.

[Connor @coshge]

feels a little surreal to see a first donation come through for my completely free tool made for such a tiny niche.

[Connor @coshge]

@DavidStalmarck @Gustav_Hugod @TomasHarmer @Julius48024685 Ugh, would love to!

Really feel like I missed out on that tinkering stage I hear so many people went through when they were younger. Besides building PCs, I've mostly only touched software.
