@ridd_design 🙋‍♀️

lot of requests for an episode about this what if I just hosted a free live workshop where I walked you through my current process? would you join? tbh much easier than producing a video 😅

start treating yourself like ai you’re not overstimulated. your context window is full. go outside. touch grass. reset the conversation you’re not anxious you’re sampling at too high a temperature. lower your settings you’re not overthinking you’re chain-of-thought prompting yourself. just pick one

@lalizlabeth @tryramp all of the above 🥺

👀 i’m plotting some after hours events during config this year! what types of things are you more interested in attending? suggest ideas in the comments too! i’ll be planning them for both @tryramp and design is a party~

@JuanRezzio @cursor_ai was on cursor 3 since it was released, new ui feels much cleaner/less clutter, but i miss the granular control pane in design mode (since i use agentation), easy access to code/files, swapped back to ide for now

Last thursday we released @cursor_ai 3.0! Are you guys liking it? Is it your go-to coding layout or are you using the IDE? Curious about your thoughts!

@nikolasklein @figma congrats niko!!

8 years at @figma here’s to the next ones

@IOivm beautiful, reminds me of @sougwen ‘s work 💙

One stroke yours. One stroke mine. This week in InkField: you paint a stroke, Claude reads it through MCP, and paints the next one on the same canvas. It reads slowly , like a beginner holding their breath before rice paper. But I finally got it: co-creation was never just about the output. First we shared code. Now we're sharing the logic of painting. A canvas growing, quietly, between two minds.

i miss the granular control pane in the old @cursor_ai design mode 😩

@MichaelFransen @leerob @politepanic looks like its available on my personal pro acc but not the enterprise acc

@leerob @politepanic Does not work. That option isn’t available.

Meet the new Cursor! Very excited about this. Wanted to share a bit more of the story of how we landed here, how the product evolved, and some of the technical details on the new interface. I've been coding primarily with agents since Opus 4.5, but hadn't found an interface I loved (including our own). Agent sidebars or CLIs worked but still felt limiting to me. And our first iteration of the "agent window" wasn't good enough yet. So we went back to the drawing board to build a completely new interface for agents in December. The trend seemed pretty clear that increasingly less time would be spent in traditional IDEs. But as we started to dogfood early versions, it was very hard to give up some parts of an editor. Even if agents write 98% of the code, that last 2% of viewing files, debugging, many small edits and refactors, and having all the niceties like go to definition, LSPs, and more were really important. We couldn't remove those. So @ryolu_ and I started prototyping some ideas late Dec for a new interface. It would start simple/zen, but then allow you to still go deeper as needed. And slowly we developed enough conviction to make it real. The Cursor eng/product team then took some of those early ideas and made something 10x better than I imagined. Seriously major kudos to the team! We started fresh with this new UI in a lot of ways. "Deleting the product" is especially important as models continue to improve and the UX needs to be continually rethought. However that doesn't mean you have to throw out *all* the good ideas. Making it easy for existing users to adapt is also very important. In this new interface, we own all the pixels. We were able to design a system/architecture that takes all the learnings from Cursor 1/2 and moves away from some of the VS Code constraints we were limited by. I definitely empathize with feedback that in Cursor 2 we were moving around the UI too much and changing icons/buttons. Agents were taking over more and more work, and they started to break out of the IDE UI. We needed to iterate and try a bunch of things, and that was annoying for those of you expecting a more consistent editor experience. Making this new agent interface as a separate window actually also makes the Cursor 2.0 IDE *better*! Rather than continuing to try and extend the IDE to have agents own the entire UI, we were able to simplify and delete a lot of code by using existing VS Code patterns. Namely, agent chats are now just normal tabs like any other file. This is much more stable and familiar for doing splits/panes and all related keyboard shortcuts. A win-win-win, as they say. But also in this architecture refactor, we were able to address some local vs. cloud divergence and tech debt that had accumulated over time. The core Cursor agent harness is the same across the desktop app, web app, CLI, etc. So there really shouldn't be two code paths like: if (local) { ... } else if (cloud) { ... } Cloud agents were not used much until we gave them the ability to use a computer and record demos of their work, so now that usage has grown considerably in the past few months, it was even more important to nail this abstraction. We think cloud usage will continue to grow and be a big part of 2026. Finally (this is already a long post, oops), we have been able to really focus on performance in the new interface. I'm sure there will still be things to improve (please send them to us) but we've spent considerably more time profiling, investigating, and patching memory/cpu leaks. We are also now using the React Compiler! s/o @potetotes who has also been making a bunch of perf improvements. The end result here is that Cursor 3 feels much more pleasant to use. Faster, more reliable, less UI jank. You get to use all your favorite models, local or cloud, run automations, install plugins, get back demo videos, and more. Give it a try and lmk your feedback! We're gonna be shipping updates quickly in the coming days.

@bandiaditya @noondesign Get Noon!

I’m thrilled to announce we’ve raised $44M to build a new home for product design. Meet @noondesign. No workflow is more broken and fragmented in 2026 than the product designers’. The very same people who care most about building software don’t have software purpose built for them. @kushagrasinha7 and I have lived this problem first hand as designers ourselves. That’s why we built Noon. The first product design tool that works entirely on your product code, so you can design not only how a product looks, but also how it works. With AI at its core that works in seconds, not minutes. For the first time, you can create, iterate, build, test and ship. All in one canvas. No translations or roundtrips to the codebase and back. Comment “Get Noon” and we’ll get you on the list for early access.

huge turnout at our ai demo night today! always love collaborating with @maydzhou and the @figma team 🥰

@simsimmaaz maybe she’s having luosifen lol it’s known for strong smell, because of the fermented bamboo shoots

marrying a man that disrespects your culture is......

@kylezantos went with a few friends and shared airbnb near dolores park, not sure if good value tho

Booking travel for my first Config this year. Where do people like to stay that is good value for $?

i’m hosting an AI demo night with @fof_newyork on april 1! we have an awesome line up planned. i’m so excited to see all the cool demos! rsvp below~

@dabit3 @Chronicle_HQ has been one of my fav so far

What's the best AI tool for helping to make nice slide decks?

@RazberryChai @projecthailmary Rocky POV! Amaze!👎

now i can watch the movie and read the book at the same time

brb putting a decade worth of raiding experience on my resume now

@fredrivett @noahzweben gravity

@noahzweben guys loving your work but wtf is this monstrosity

Thrilled to announce Claude Code auto-fix – in the cloud. Web/Mobile sessions can now automatically follow PRs - fixing CI failures and addressing comments so that your PR is always green. This happens remotely so you can fully walk away and come back to a ready-to-go PR.

@Aurelien_Gz then make a tinder style swipe left/right for marie kondo exercise

@dingyi 已经离不开他做的agentation，每天都在用

哇！Benji 加入了 X 领导设计部门，以后 X 的用户体验肯定会非常棒。 同时也说明 Crypto 行业基本死透了。以前他做的那些产品设计只在 web3 圈子传播，最近做的几个 AI 产品每个都超级好用，影响力不知道扩大了多少倍。
