Award losing designer. My tweets are my own, unless I get hacked.

I have keep reminding myself to stop listening to guides or tutorials and just do when it comes to building, everyone is discovering things in real time anyway at this point...

Moving on from X/Twitter and heading to BlueSky.

Will check occasionally for DM's but don't expect a reply.

AI-native UX

What do apps look like when you design AI first?

Starting a thread to collect some examples I've found.

When did iOS start converting inline? 👀

I think about this a lot

[Karri Saarinen @karrisaarinen]

Primer on how we design at @linear:

The main point is that the design is only a reference, never any kind of deliverable itself, so the way it's constructed doesn't really matter.

1. We screenshot the app and design on top of

2. Simple design system that has mostly colors, type and some basic components (rest you can screenshot/recreate)

3. We have one design file each quarter, each person creates a page in it for their projects (easier to see what others are working on)

4. Naming layers, using auto layout, components is up to the designer if they want to use them or not

5. Use prototypes if needed to show a flow or some other interaction

6. Once the design is good enough, and we start building and the design is now only a reference. The real design is the app again and you start the process over.

I spent hours looking for the right font and all I was looking for was a geometric font with a round tittle 😂

I'm getting tired of continuously typing questions into LLM's...

Can someone create something that beams the questions into a chat box from my head please. K thx

Designed a built a minimal static blog generator using next.js and @cursor_ai at https://t.co/PZAsd1jqy1 in an afternoon.

Lots of little things to tweak, but this gave me the confidence needed to figure out that I need to actually build a product when I can leverage ai like this

Another little Claude experiment... this one I might actually launch with something 🫡

I just learned the modular power supply cables are proprietary to each manufacturer… I also just burned an SSD

Remind me not to tinker at 1am 😔

Been on a streak of side projects instead of focusing on career stuff and it’s been refreshing.

I now need a job to maintain these new hobbies 😂
