I built a multiplayer embroidery sampler for the internet. It's called Common Thread. 🪡

Built the entire thing in @Figma Make, first thing I've ever vibecoded with it.

Every visitor gets a patch on a shared canvas. You pick a thread color, choose a stitch type, and craft your art.

A sampler is a piece of fabric where you practice and collect different stitches — a reference guide and playground in one. They were meant to be passed between hands and added to over time.

Common Thread is that, but the fabric is infinite, the UI is whimsical, and the hands are anonymous.

The part I love most: you can snap any section with a draggable embroidery hoop and export it, framed.

i love how Figma Make is a kind of tool that lets you focus on what something should feel like, not how to ship it.

Made for the @contra x Figma Makethon #FigmaMakeathon

Try it yourself! /link below/

is that the kid from polar express (2004)?

[Dr. M.F. Khan @Dr_TheHistories]

There are two nearly identical, yet unrelated, minor league baseball pitchers who share the same height (6'4"), same red hair, same black rimmed glasses, and even the same name, Brady Feigl.

The coincidence became so surreal that it caught national media attention. Both pitchers were drafted just a year apart — one out of Mount Olive College in North Carolina, the other out of the University of Mississippi — and both spent time grinding through the same minor league circuits.

At one point, when one Brady was traded within the Oakland A’s system, the other was also pitching in affiliated ball, which only amplified the confusion online. Their baseball cards circulated side-by-side on social media, sparking conspiracy theories that they were secretly the same person living a double life.

To settle the speculation, a DNA test was reportedly conducted. The result confirmed what paperwork already showed: no biological relationship whatsoever.

Even more bizarre, both have engineering backgrounds. One studied mechanical engineering before turning fully to baseball, adding another unexpected overlap to the list.

The odds of two unrelated professional athletes sharing the same uncommon name and nearly identical physical traits are astronomically small, making this one of the strangest coincidence stories in modern sports.

as someone with great taste (๑◔‿◔๑) i regret to inform you it’s ~ intuition ~ you all should be talking about

[Maybe: Damien @damiencorrell]

Another exciting launch from the team! I, too, have been asking for this one. ☺️

Bringing an image on to the canvas to riff and refine right then and there is as dreamy as it sounds.

[Figma @figma]

Imagine turning any image into a vector (now you actually can)

→ Convert raster images into editable vectors
→ Simplify and control color output

[Figma @figma]

The perfect image doesn’t exi—

Erase distractions, expand backgrounds, and isolate objects with our new AI image tools in Design and Draw

[Figma @figma]

We just acquired @weavy_ai, soon to be known as Figma Weave.

With Weavy, you’ll get more models, more tools, more ways to create within the canvas. More to come

[Maybe: Damien @damiencorrell]

i had no idea calling a PNG file “a ping file” was even the tiniest bit controversial 🙃
