Little weekend prototype: iMessage style card stack. Always love a good reason to dive into @FacebookOrigami and work through visual + interactive puzzles like this. Here’s a bit about how I built it and a link to download ↓

@vistar941 @Barbapapapps SwiftUI really do be like that don’t it

[Nate Smith @nasm423]

@JohnnyMorlin Yea this seems like a nice behavior in theory. But in practice, I’ve found it very hard to build a muscle memory for. I wonder if haptics would help 🤔

[Nate Smith @nasm423]

@alexkehr I mean, it’s really nice I’d say… for a web app

@hiddecollee7 @PaulNeverovsky Best in @neuecast

[Nate Smith @nasm423]

@brunostasse @silk_hq Nice! Looks great!

You can turn 10,000 photos into anything once you get access to the GPU.

Arbitrary scroll clipping is one of my biggest pet peeves in UI. Gradient fades are a nice technique, especially when they only appear on-scroll.

[Florian @flornkm]

Kinda related: Inline scroll areas that cut off suck as well.

Adding a scroll-driven mask to the top and bottom makes it feel much smoother

@ViralManager The amount of praise I’m seeing for this post has me 😵‍💫 Like, I’m genuinely so offended that you thought so little of my intelligence that you’d assume the lower case text would give an aura of authenticity.

[ras @ViralManager]

i think its disrespectful to have others read your AI slop that you probably spent less time inputting a prompt for than it would take us to read

[Nate Smith @nasm423]

@ryolu_ If u wanna share some profound insight about how ai is changing the act of soulful creation, it’s a choice to do so in an utterly soulless rambling of ai generated slop

[Nate Smith @nasm423]

@ryolu_ And of course, the classic em dash

[Nate Smith @nasm423]

@ryolu_ Writing can also have a soul, which is sadly absent from this tweet. LLMisms abound. I’m not at all opposed to AI-assisted writing, but I do think that, once you get a feel for its language patterns, they’re dead giveaways. Some tragic irony here. “use lowercase, sound profound”

[Nate Smith @nasm423]

@alexkehr @Abmankendrick Also, why is this ai cheeseburger just having sauce squirted at it 💦🍔

[Nate Smith @nasm423]

@MattBond21 @ryanlucas 🎯

[Nate Smith @nasm423]

@brunostasse @silk_hq What are some examples of Silk being used in production apps you’ve seen? Love the way it feels.

[Nate Smith @nasm423]

@SebJVidal Death to all ai gradients!!! The future is integrated, invisible.

[Nate Smith @nasm423]

Preach

[Nate Smith @nasm423]

@lil_dill I think part of what makes this feel off is that the “iMessage” text seems to reappear instantly when you send the message. So you have this text-over-text overlay that feels off. But yea, the refraction stuff in this case indeed creates a “jagged” feel
