Designed on Figma.

Created an interactive button.
The goal was to understand micro animations, variants, effective use of smart animation, and interactive components.

Someone reached out to me yesterday that an educational body needed a system that scans physical registers and exports them into a spreadsheet.

But I didn’t want to build just a basic OCR scanner.

So, I designed it with an AI review using Azure Document Intelligence and Python.

Instead of exporting raw OCR results immediately, the system:

- scans the register
- extracts the table properly
- writes everything into an editable interface
- flags possible OCR mistakes
- lets users correct errors before export

So they don’t end up exporting wrong data into spreadsheets.

I built the entire thing in less than a day 😭😭😭

Still polishing it tho, but I genuinely enjoyed this one.
I might just share the link soon.

P.s: @davidokocha086 thanks for the gig😗

Y'all, bring more deals!
I'm activeeee🤩

If you are very good at taking quality photos with your smartphone, this update is for you.

Go to Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, or Getty Images on your Chrome browser and create a free contributor account. It costs nothing.

Then start taking high quality photos of anything and everything around you. The sky. Beautiful places. Trees. Markets. Cars in motion. People walking. Celebrations. Landscapes. Those clean, aesthetic shots that people use for designs, wallpapers, and creative projects.

Upload them. Every time someone downloads your photo, you earn a royalty. You do not have to be present. You do not have to do anything extra. The photo earns for you while you sleep.

Photographers with large portfolios earn between $200 (about 300k Naira) and $2,000 (about 3 million Naira) every month from stock photography alone.

You are already taking photos for fun. You might as well get paid for it.

Do not sleep on this.

Above all, love God.

The uncomfortable truth is that the 20th-century path: school, degree, job, pension is dying.

The 21st century rewards those who can synthesise domains, own rare data and relationships, and build trust in a world of mistrust.

[Simlex @simlex_x]

In the current future, the new illiterates will be those who cannot articulate intent clearly.

The human role is shifting from doing to curating and specifying intent.

Google Cloud AI engineer just showed how they go from idea to deployed app at Google in 30-minutes using Claude.

26-minutes. free. by Google AI team.

one person + Claude + Google Cloud = a full engineering org running on a laptop.

worth more than any $500 vibe-coding course.

[Simlex @simlex_x]

Cool!
Would use it tomorrow, since it's mother's day!

I thought this was one of those clickbaits. Turns out it works for posts with 'mother's day'

I have been deploying with Coolify for months, and it's been the best infrastructure decision I've made for my projects and for my portfolio clients.

[Brady Long @thisguyknowsai]

Ok this is crazy... Someone built a free self-hosted PaaS that lets you deploy static sites, full-stack apps, databases, and 280+ one-click services on your own servers in seconds with a beautiful UI and zero vendor lock-in.

It's called Coolify and it's the open-source alternative to Vercel, Heroku, and Netlify that you actually own and control.

Here's everything you need to know:

Ibukun Awosika wanted to be a doctor.
Then an architect. Then a lawyer.
Then an accountant.

She studied Chemistry. Hated it.

Took a job at a furniture company "just to kill time."

30 years later, that kill-time decision built one of West Africa's largest furniture empires — and put her at the chair of Nigeria's oldest bank.

Sometimes purpose finds you.

I asked ChatGPT to turn everything it knows about me into a portfolio. Then I connected it to Gamma and it built an entire deck in less than 3 minutes.
I did not design anything, I did not write anything special.
ChatGPT already had the context, Gamma used the context to build something real.

Here's exactly how I did it 👇
Open ChatGPT → Go to Settings → Click on Apps → Search for Gamma → Click on `refrence memories and chat` → Connect.
That's it. Once connected, start a new chat and give ChatGPT a prompt about yourself.
I typed: "Turn my past projects and interests into a portfolio"
ChatGPT pulled everything it already knows about me and Gamma turned it into a full structured deck in minutes

Introducing Avnac — opensource local-first Canva alternative.

[Big Sheddy 🦅 @coder_blvck]

Lmao, this is too stressful.

Simply ask codex the following:

You are continuing a session from Claude Code.

Context:
- The previous session is stored locally in the `.claude/` directory.
- Locate the most recent session transcript (or the session titled "<session name>").
- Read the full transcript before taking any action.

Tasks:

1. Context Reconstruction
- Summarize the goal of the session.
- Identify what has already been completed.
- Identify the exact stopping point.

2. Task Tracking
- Extract any TODO list, checklist, or implicit tasks.
- Classify each item:
- DONE
- PARTIALLY DONE (explain what’s missing)
- NOT DONE

3. Continuation
- Resume work from the last unfinished step.
- Do NOT repeat completed work.
- Follow the same approach, style, and decisions already established.

4. Execution Rules
- Prefer continuing edits rather than restarting solutions.
- If context is missing or ambiguous, inspect related files in the workspace.
- Only ask questions if progress is blocked.

Output:
- Brief context summary
- Task status breakdown
- Clear next action
- Continue execution immediately

Adobe tried to buy Figma for $20 billion in 2022.

The deal collapsed. So Figma went public on the NYSE in July 2025 instead. Ticker FIG. Public company. Quarterly earnings. Wall Street pressure.

You know what happens to design tools after they IPO.

In March 2025, Figma raised the Professional Full seat 33%. From $15 to $20 a month. Organization seats jumped to $55. Enterprise to $90.

Then they took Dev Mode, which was free during beta, and locked it behind a paid seat. Your developers now pay extra to inspect the designs your designers already paid to create.

In March 2026, Figma started charging for AI credits on top.

If Figma raises prices again, you pay.
If Figma gets acquired, you pray.
If Figma shuts down, your files die with it.

Your design system. On their servers. In a proprietary format only their app can read. To draw rectangles on a screen.

There is an open source design platform that runs on your hardware. Stores your files in plain SVG. Costs $0 forever for unlimited users.

It is called Penpot. 45,700+ stars on GitHub.

A full Figma-grade design platform built on open web standards. Vector editing. Components. Design tokens to W3C spec. Flex and Grid layouts. Real-time multiplayer. Interactive prototyping.

Here's what it does:

→ Real-time collaboration. Live cursors. Comments in line.
→ Components, variants, shared libraries.
→ Auto layout, Flex, CSS Grid. The tool outputs production CSS, not lookalike CSS.
→ Interactive prototypes with overlays, animations, and flows.
→ Inspect tab. Free. Built in. Every developer grabs production CSS, SVG, HTML without a separate seat.
→ Plugin ecosystem. Figma import to migrate your files.
→ Self-host on Docker in one command. Your designs never leave your network.

Here's the wildest part:

Figma stores your designs in a proprietary format only Figma can read.

Penpot files are SVG. The same format your browser has rendered for 25 years. Open them in any editor. Open them in 20 years. Nobody can lock you out.

The feature Figma charges your developers extra for, Penpot gives away. Without asking permission.

Figma Professional: $20/month per seat. A 10-person team: $2,400/year.
Figma Organization: $55/month per Full seat. A 50-person org: $33,000/year.

Penpot: $0. Unlimited users. Unlimited files. Unlimited teams. Self-hosted. Free forever.

45,700+ stars. 2,700+ forks. 250+ contributors. MPL-2.0 license. Backed by a community that believes design tools should be free.

Your designs. Your files. Your standards.

100% Open Source.
