After reading this I gave exe.dev a shot and the combination of cheap VMs, the HTTPS proxy with passkey auth and link sharing, and the built-in LLM agent is... incredible. Like, I know how to use each of these things individually, but combining them feels like when I first learned to script things.

lmao finally someone is making a game "inspired by the joy of people watching" - prototype went super viral on itch (100k players, 1k reviews) - interact with things and make cute stuff happen - see how tiny guys react - hidden object game, full version coming to Steam - Nippets

📣 New article on @frontendmasters.com about a visual problem that bugged me for years: making a card that truly feels deep. frontendmasters.com/blog/the-dee... Would love your thoughts.

My friend Viktor is offering 20% off all his font making courses and type-related templates today and tomorrow using the code BLACKFRIDAY. In this thread, I’ve got links to each. Full transparency: they’re affiliate links. BUT! I took (and paid for) the Font Making Course and thoroughly recommend.

Tip for presenting your work, share the solution first. I'm interviewing a lot at the moment, and I notice a lot of people both in their portfolio and presenting live, focus 90% on background and 10% on the solution. It should be the reverse.

Is there a best practice way to share design work over Zoom and ensure high quality? It seems like screenshare compression got a lot worse in recent years, even for still screens.

Incredible micro-animations that perfectly describe the product! → reducto.ai

This looks great - a digital board game console!

Big news in our office today!

If you liked A House of Dynamite but felt like the ending was unsatisfying, I highly recommend the book, The 2020 Commission, which is sort of a spiritual sequel to the movie.

Let's fight the algorithm. Share a post of something you made that didn't get its due because it was too wholesome and didn't ragebait.

I worked with Ikea on some of their smart home products. They had what they called the 'escalator approach'. When an escalator stops working, it's just a set of stairs, and remains usable. I thought that was a great way to think about home technology.

the fact that Pixelmator Pro, which was acquired by apple ~ 1 year ago, hasn't even updated their Mac App icon to the iOS26 standard yet doesn't give me much confidence that the app will be around for much longer 🥲

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen on the craft of design from @ridd-design.bsky.social of DiveClub. If you want to learn more about drop shadows, borders, and real craft, this one video will teach you more than most professional training courses. youtu.be/bwAQuCXFRB0?...

Today, we've updated Linear Mobile with an all-new design that looks great on iOS 26, and thanks to the powerful APIs #SwiftUI has been adding over the past few years, we're bringing it to iOS 18 with zero compromise. Get the update here: apps.apple.com/app/linear-m...

Looks like I'll be coming to the end of a contract shortly so will have availability for new projects from later this month Give me a shout if you're on the lookout for frontend dev or design systems work and particularly if you're looking for animations, interactions or anything a bit experimental

Very interesting experiment from Anthropic about dynamically generating software on demand. youtu.be/dGiqrsv530Y?...

We’re live!! My brand-new course, “Whimsical Animations”, is now available. 🥳🎉 whimsy.joshwcomeau.com I’m so excited to share all of my animation tools and techniques with y’all. 😄

This is a wonderful post explaining how to make animations feel "right" (or why sometimes you don't need to animate at all). 👇 emilkowal.ski/ui/you-dont-...

Stop me if I’m overdramatizing, but I’m beginning to wonder if algorithm-driven public chat may have a downside.

So this is how it ends

An exciting role just opened for an AI-native Product Designer at Grammarly in Berlin. It's a very rare opportunity to design new AI agents at the forefront of communication and language that will be deployed to millions of people. Tell your friends! www.grammarly.com/careers/jobs...

Has a Pocket alternative emerged yet since it closed down?

SVG filters provide a basic lighting system you can sync with a little JavaScript and use in your web apps 💡 ... not as powerful as MacOS implementation but pretty cool

I tried out every different one-shot AI design tool I could get access to over the past month. I wrote a detailed prompt to give to each of them, and invited some talented designer friends to help me rank and rate them. Here’s how it went ⤵︎

It's amazing how easy Claude makes it to build you own mini design tools! Here i've been playing around with some loading animations.

I hope Figma draw brings some creativity back into product design. We’ve been prioritizing consistency over craft for far too long.

PSA: Don't put double diamonds in your portfolio any more.

I love @framer.com but one downside to having all these really nice templates is that so many designers use them now for their portfolio, so when reviewing applicants, it's much harder to tell on first glance are they any good, or did they just pick a nice template.

Sometimes truncation creates surprising results! 😮

Figma is really gearing up for an IPO with these launches! #config25

Life improved immensely once I learned to stop telling Cursor "it still doesn't work" and instead tell it to pause, don't write any code, investigate the issue properly, come up with 3-5 theories for what's going wrong, and validate theories with logs. I also give it web + docs access, if relevant.

this is fine 🔥

Working purely from home can be lonely sometimes, but being able to work from anywhere also has it's advantages too.

Anyone using the newer Macbook Airs for design? I have the 14" Macbook Pro and that's great, especially for travel, but when working remotely I use this setup, and 14" is a bit small so I'm considering getting a 15" but not sure how it performs. (I think it's the same spec as the Macbook Air 13")

I'm finding portfolios less useful these days because of design systems and portfolio templates. Found myself lately just asking people to throw a bunch of screens into a Figma file and sharing that. I'm finding it far more useful to evaluate skill and craft.

How long until the ShadCN aesthetic becomes boring?

What are some good examples of products that allow you to train an AI on your own data? Exactly.ai is one for illustration, and I'm looking for some other best-in-class examples for reference.

Coming soon to an Unhinged near you: Demo Mode! For when you want to show off the great app you're using, but not the fact that you cried about a pigeon last Thursday. #BuildInPublic

This is very interesting, taking the metaphor of Photoshop and applying it to text Wonderful experiment!

Anyone have a good guide to how to setup basic design tokens in Tailwind for colours and fonts? I'm a bit late to the party.

Hey #designsky do u know any great UI motion artists in Europe?

This has to be one of the most annoying notifications. Who thought that would be a good idea 🫠
