It’s gonna be your favorite way to listen to music on a Mac. Or at least I know it’s mine. https://t.co/bxNSl7yIPr

A lil side project from @VertigoBirdie and me is coming for Christmas.

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

Indeed it is

[Dimo @dmytring]

@ployai is so good at building landing pages.

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

And in general. Native mobile is now as easy if not easier than React Native/Expo/etc.

[ben hylak @benhylak]

if you're vibe-coding mobile apps, just do native swift.

models are so much worse at writing performant expo apps right now.

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

I mean if I keep telling it what model and effort level to use in every chat in the main orchestrator, what's the point? And it's not good at guessing.

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

I think I'm falling out of using Claude Code Projects. Feels like it's giving me more overhead than helping me. Weird, felt the other way round initially.

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

100% this

[𝕞𝕒𝕩𝕧𝕠𝕝𝕥𝕒𝕣 @maxvoltar]

Design used to be brick by brick. Now it's chipping a sculpture out of marble. Same craft, opposite direction.

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

So much this! In around 2022, after my most potent psychedelic experience to date, I decided all the fitting in is destroying my creative output. So I:
- put on 30kg+ of muscle
- swapped most black for color
- grew a mega beard
- started hitting “I’m feeling lucky” instead of “Google Search” in life
- changed my avatar to me in my natural habitat: riding bikes
- slowly changed my personality to someone I want to be friends with

It’s good to be faithful to kid-you.

i will look back on this as my most important tweet of the year

your work should be a uniquely-you; your work should be your journal of Things You Thing Are Neat

nothing else and no other audience matters as much as Making Technology-Art That Lights You Up

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

@sheherenow_ @stedmanhalliday @tasshinfogleman Sometimes it's nice (I switch to 90s boy bands, etc). Depends on the type of task. Metal is still king for most types of work for me.

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

@alextraykov Long topic, but showing fake measurement lines and random "designer" artifacts like this is poor taste/bad design.

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

I wonder if folks at Logitech realize most actual designers would not like this design. Who is this for?

[Kote @kotecinho]

Logitech MX Master 4 Creator Edition

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

@alextraykov I meant the decals. Otherwise I have three of these, good mouse. Even though I don't use a mouse anymore.

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

@dotmariusz @peduarte Imo anyone who spent this amount of time on their phone talking to everyone and no one at the same time would go nuts in some way.

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

@NicoMotions @AgrawalHridaya About the same but slower still. It uses Vercel's library.

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

Telling Sunlight what to do in plain English (sped up). It's really powerful, just a tad slow for now.
But you can leave it do its work with its own pointer while you're doing other stuff. 🧠

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

@JaceThings @rsms @raunofreiberg Yeah, Sunlight is basically that!

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

☀️ Sunlight 0.2.4 is out

• Substantial robustness and stability improvements
• Dock click on the app in front always takes you to its window
• Closed Music and Calendar windows leave the canvas
• Easier setup for Accessibility and Screen Recording
• Option to hide the zoom level

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

@mlajtos_mu Nope

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

☀️ Sunlight allows you to use waaaaay bigger window combos than your physical screen allows.

Here I have the equivalent of an about 24" monitor at a scale that's absolutely usable.

[Darin Dimitroff 🇺🇦 @deezel]

@AgrawalHridaya Yep, it was in there since 0.1.4 but it's way better now. Go to Settings > Experiments > Talk to Sunlight.
Need to provide your own Anthropic key.
