@karrisaarinen @linear This is cool! How did you have it pull from 40K customer request? Curious about the workflow there - are those customer requests all stored in Linear?

@CoachDanGo @daylightco what is the difference between the kids version and the regular version?

@mnt_rushmore sweet let me know what you think!

[Fei Xiao @feiii_____]

the hardest part of running a small team now isn't shipping fast - it's keeping eng and product in sync without pinging each other constantly.

so to help our team coordinate better, we created a dock that lives on your desktop and shows what Claude/codex/Pi sessions are live, what PRs shipped, and where code conflicts are forming. its called Slashtalk - cut the chatter & work faster - https://t.co/QncismYcx3

We need avocado packs like this too

[Sovey @SoveyX]

Did you know Korea sells “one-a-day” banana packs?

Instead of every banana ripening at once, each one is at a different stage.

One is ready today.

The next one is ready tomorrow.

The last one is still spiritually in college, “experimenting.”

Simple. Genius. Solves the entire banana problem.

What do you think?
Would you prefer your bananas this way?

This dock turns a Mac mini into a classic Macintosh. wow

existential questions

@deedydas Is it intelligence though or is it tenacity? I'm still convinced showing up every day > being smart

I’m having more fun than I ever have. Feels like it’s our renaissance as designers.

[yitong @yitong]

There are two Designs. One of them is dead, the other is more alive than ever.

1. Design as the production of visual assets is over soon. This is unfortunately 90% of design jobs in industry. We won’t even need agencies to create design systems like Gokul thinks - they will get solved in the same breath as the rest of it

2. Design as a general method of problem solving is more exciting than ever thanks to AI dissolving the barrier to entry for most tools. The solution space for most designs have expanded dramatically for those with eyes to see

It’s never been more exciting to be a designer, if you can let go of what design used to mean

[Zain Shah @zan2434]

Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see.

@eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)

@FintechKristen @jack This is v cute

[Fei Xiao @feiii_____]

@k_grajeda This is a good point but couldn’t design.md also evolve to include information about components or specific UX patterns?

[Soleio @soleio]

The future belongs to designers who build.
