Today we're launching our first public Poolside models: Laguna M.1 and Laguna XS.2, and we've built ❈Shimmer, an instant-on VM sandbox with Poolside Agent pre-installed so you can try them out.

Go play out our new models for free, and build something fun → https://t.co/G2YKxQmT9L

@dmcgco from tüdü to tüDONE

[Tom Petty @tp]

I made something I've wanted for ages: a simple to-do list for Figma files.

Designed to look and feel as native as possible, tüdü lives alongside your designs and let's you keep track of things. That's it.

@tasedan Thanks! What’s the Design Twitter tea at the moment?

[Benji Taylor @benjitaylor]

Even the biggest companies with the deepest pockets are struggling to hire top design talent. And as usual, it comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding of what drives most great designers. They want to be surrounded by other great designers and a culture that cares.

@niclasernst Hope you used small boxes

Strongly this

[Kevin Twohy @kevintwohy]

The best designers aren't attracted to "blank slate/ground floor" (negative space) – you need to go actively create a positive image of design at your company they can picture themselves inhabiting. Typically includes:

-evidence of "creative spark" that already exists inside the company
-"values through evidence" - things you have done that demonstrate the function of design is important to your company (tip: saying you 'value design' does not do this)
-at least one other designer they admire is a believer

If you can't create these conditions yourself you need to go find someone who can help. It's extremely rare that a great founding designer will be enticed to do all this *and* design the entire product.

I wrote a piece about how, as designers, we need to get out of our squads and go off piste → https://t.co/ll6QqYsg9o
