@dosinaga2 Just missing the girl in the red skirt.

@Craig_Adora @nickclement Seconded.

@LukesBeard I'm going to say port, but I need to rationalise it...

1. it appears to be all lower case, so that rules out PART, POST or PAST
2. I'm assuming the letters are regularly spaced, so I'd say it's a lowercase r as opposed to an s.

What does it actually say?

@nickclement What are you doing in Pret if you're not dropping £30?

[Craig Ward @MrCraigWard]

@carmhuntress @juanbuis And predictably it made a shitshow of it.

@domesticetch The shade!

@defaultica Absolutely. I was learning about Elsa Hansen the other day (married to Bonnie Prince Billy) and her work reminded me of Flip Flop Flyin' - https://t.co/LjTvmaZaDZ

@defaultica That's exactly who it was

@hellojoeburke Thanks Joe, just gauging interest so feel free to drop your email in at https://t.co/FxyLHl1YTy and I'll shout if it goes ahead. Works great for me but obviously public facing requires more thought on the back end etc.

I decided to vibe code a color-based moodboard generator and it got little out of hand. Allows for the discovery of narrative through color in a Figma-style environment. Create swatches, sticky notes, dupe artboards, light image editing (scale/position/copy/paste)... continues >

@RyderDesignS8 It's just contextual AI but would require a lot of call outs to OpenAI. Fine for one or two queries but gets expensive if it's hundreds / thousands of requests so would likely require a paid tier, and I'm not sure anyone (apart from yourself) wants to pay for anything anymore.

@RyderDesignS8 Noted! Trying to build in functionality without making it bloated - I guess to do that would require context right?ie what's a contemporary pairing with Helvetica vs what's a classic pairing with Helvetica? Or 'what's a good pairing with Helvetica for a fitness app?' kinda thing

Happy Monday, last week I built a simple Google Fonts type mixer — https://t.co/IyNDgL4tFl — and have added some new functionality this week... >
