I firmly believe the promise of ai is deeply composable experiences. This goes for the content within the app ui, too (e.g. written docs)

As someone who groks things better when visualized, been having a tonne of fun remixing content in Confluence

(•ᴗ•)つ Hi guys, I built RIKO this weekend.

A browser-based Risograph print simulator—drag & drop your art to watch the ink bleed and have fun!

Try it → https://t.co/RUIdFuOWJr

Built in public, designed, built and deployed.

screenshot-to-code:

upload a screenshot of any website, watch as AI progressively builds the html, iteratively improving the generated code by comparing it against the screenshot repeatedly.

Remind me of the time when I worked in Singapore. It was common to see one person speaking English while another responded in Chinese.

Success is a gift, failure is a valuable lesson, and the courage to continue is a choice.

The product design principles

Five decision-making guidelines that will help you create a meaningful impact.

https://t.co/DGBn8n3jkA

[Kocha @kochastudio]

Innovation requires a great deal of empathy.

To gain new insights, we must be able to relate to other’s feelings, which is often easier said than done.

When it’s hard to empathise, use curiosity instead. Ask questions and relish the journey of discovery.

[Kocha @kochastudio]

User research is like driving a car; it’s highly beneficial.

But it can be very dangerous for those around you if you do not know how to drive.

Learn to drive in a safe environment before venturing onto the highway!

[Kocha @kochastudio]

We emphasise too much on strategists, yet too little on executors who carry out the strategy plans.

Mike Tyson famously said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”

Strategy without execution is a cheap talk that costs a lot.

[Kocha @kochastudio]

The most valuable team member is not necessarily the one who has been in the job the longest.

It’s the one who learns the most about and around the jobs.

There is a big difference between having 10 years of experience and having 1 year of experience 10 times.

Three traits of strong product people 💪🏻

1. They peacefully accept things they can’t change.

2. They are brave enough to make a bold move on things they can change.

3. They are wise enough to differentiate between the two above.

7/7. Know your budget (time and money) for each process stage

Design Walkthrough → User Test → Product Demo

6/7. Don’t do the right thing for the wrong reason—e.g., a product demo during user testing is a tragedy
