@hxmzaehsan @framer Hey, not sure if this is an issue on your end or Framer's but just wanted you to know that I see your thumbnail load for a second and then it goes black. This is happening on both my work and personal laptops in Chrome and Arc.

Introducing Code on Canvas in @pencildev
AI design tool for Claude and Codex.
Design ❤️ Code are officially in a relationship, opening new ways to create on canvas.

Ask agent to generate custom design tools inside Pencil on the fly, create interactive components, generative art and more, but still keep the full manual design control.

This is just the beginning. Let us know what you think. And let's take it to the next level together.

Download the new Pencil update today.

@steveschoger After watching your first video, I was so excited to see this second one. Please keep them coming. Also, you might find https://t.co/SfDmytOcju by @kylezantos helpful.

@ridd_design @framer @kylezantos Was just asking last week on LinkedIn if something like this existed. Thanks!

@ShaanVP send it

[Casey Decker @decca1o]

so: is AI making you more or less creative?

for me, more. not because it generates better ideas — but because it forces you to figure out why your idea is good.

is AI making you more or less creative?

I shipped two delight features to Hey Today yesterday. here's how they actually got made.

[Casey Decker @decca1o]

not every check. just the moment that matters.

it's rare enough that you notice it. intentional enough that it means something.

AI didn't have that idea. but I wouldn't have landed on it without the back and forth.

[Casey Decker @decca1o]

then I went back to my speech bubble idea.

AI kept generating variations. most of them fired on every single task check. that got annoying fast.

and then I figured out what I actually wanted:

the speech bubble only fires when you've finished all your tasks.

[Casey Decker @decca1o]

but I asked it to prototype anyway.

the way it rendered — particles bursting in your task's category color, circles and squares mixed — was legitimately cool. not what I expected.

I kept it.

[Casey Decker @decca1o]

my original idea: a speech bubble from your avatar every time you check a task off.

I brought it to AI. it came back with confetti.

my first reaction: no thanks. every app has confetti.

[Casey Decker @decca1o]

The standard design brief for a legal agreement screen: reduce friction. get the click. move on.

Railway ignored it.

Plain language. Icons that map to what each term actually means. A warm headline. The goal isn't compliance it's comprehension.

I trust them more because of it.

[Hey Today App @HeyTodayApp]

Shipped Hey Today (again).

A timeboxing app for Mac. Add tasks with durations, watch them fill your day as proportional bars. When 8 hours is full, it's full.

No AI. No automation. Deliberate friction.

@ridd_design @mannyugarte @paper I think I'm following you down the same path. I've been enjoying Warp but rediscovered Conductor from your video. Thanks!

[Casey Decker @decca1o]

@framerpro Thanks! This was definitely one of my most fun projects, though Framer is usually pretty fun to work in.

[Casey Decker @decca1o]

Made my wife a Framer site for her 40th birthday instead of a digital invite.

Used this gorgeous photography portfolio template from Templifica as the base. The design did all the heavy lifting — I just made it ours.

Best invite I've ever sent. Guests are going to love it.

[Brian Lovin @brian_lovin]

Pretty cool:

- tried https://t.co/1PWJL8RvgB
- pointed it at Shiori repo
- found some bugs (and a few false positives)
- converted them all to github issues
- pointed @conductor_build at all the issues
- all bugs fixed/patched in minutes in parallel worktrees

[Casey Decker @decca1o]

@ericries Excited for this. Do you anticipate having an audio version?
