@RhysKentish Thanks! I really rely on this view already, it’s my new default on mobile

[Theo Richardson @theodesigning]

I made a calendar app to see the month and the day view at once

Then I made an app to post this screenshot as a mockup

I’m not sure which one I prefer

[Theo Richardson @theodesigning]

This may be a meme but is legitimately part of my daily routine

@morganb Then switch to a lil local model en route 👀

[Theo Richardson @theodesigning]

I have one of these aloof, small, loveable creatures already

It’s called a cat

[Dexerto @Dexerto]

The inventor of the Roomba has revealed their latest robot called the Familiar

It's designed to form an emotional bond with its owners and is around the same size as a dog

@osanseviero So awesome

It would be dope with these types of releases to drop prompts to give to coding agents to implement the new tech

I'm not super technical, building apps with Gemma 4 on MLX-swift, trying to piece together if I can use this... even my agents aren't sure!

[Theo Richardson @theodesigning]

@benln Dope!

I’ve helped get my entire design team using Cursor (and hang around fifth in company token usage) and recently gave a talk about the incredible role it can play in the design process.

How do I get involved?

Gemma 4: Now up to 3x Faster. ⚡

Same quality, way more speed. Our new MTP drafters allow Gemma 4 to predict multiple tokens at once, effectively tripling your output speed without compromising intelligence.

@mil000 I switch to hotspot and do this walking home from the café when I get hungry

Good for implementing a planned feature over a 5ish min walk

[Theo Richardson @theodesigning]

Claude Design wireframes assuming I live in Brooklyn made me lol

[Theo Richardson @theodesigning]

@TCMF2 Share the petition for the release of Factions 2! It’s worth a shot…

Composer 2 fast is… insanely good for iOS dev?

I don’t notice an improvement when I hop over to Opus.

@cursor_ai you gotta talk about this more!

[Theo Richardson @theodesigning]

I am addicted to coding at the gym

Thank you cloud agents

[Theo Richardson @theodesigning]

I burned through Claude usage in @cursor_ai.

They forced me to use Composer 2.

It worked. For now, I’m Composer-2-Fast-pilled.

[Theo Richardson @theodesigning]

This rings so true with agentic coding - you need to prototype your experience first, see what works and what doesn’t, and find the value before building it out fully

[Theo Richardson @theodesigning]

Built my first Swift app this weekend

Loved it so much I built 2 more

[Theo Richardson @theodesigning]

I'm building apps with local AI this weekend and it completely changes how you think about features

With local AI, intelligence feels like an actual material you can craft an experience with

I fear I might need to update my phone to use the inflated head emoji

[Brandon Butch @BrandonButch]

The new emoji are now visible in iOS 26.4 Beta 4

[Theo Richardson @theodesigning]

Who's building this cockpit but for vibe coding?

[Theo Richardson @theodesigning]

I got tired of squinting to see if elements were aligned (or using the screenshot tool like a ruler), so I built Redline

It's a chrome extension that can be activated on any site to investigate the layout and gather context to pass to Cursor or Claude Code
