Drop in Berlin!

@nothing Everyone will be able to enjoy your great work! @zock_jad

Lock Screen Updates. We have introduced the lock screen clock face from Phone (3a) Community Edition, co-created with community member Jad Zock. It features an exclusive typeface style and a unique waking-up animation. Lock screen customisation now also supports Depth Effect (Beta), along with adjustable clock sizes and alignment options so you can create a more personalised layout.

We’re excited to bring a series of Nothing OS updates to Phone (4a) series, improving everyday usability, focus, and customisation across the system.

Spotify is so bad… might finally pull the plug

The MCP backlash today has been interesting to witness... turns out models are capable enough to read the messy web as is and figure it out The Semantic Web tried to impose standards to make data machine readable 25 years ago, never hit critical mass. Same thing will happen with most of our tools, agents will learn to use them from docs and playing around, without the need for a universal spec This is especially true on mobile, where agents that can navigate messy UIs and fragmented data will beat ones waiting for every niche app developer to implement a spec. Samsung is already betting on this with their S26, where Gemini navigates real app UIs in the background instead of asking developers for APIs. Right direction, but fragile The real solve will be an OS level agent that understands you deeply enough that it doesn't need to pretend to be a user. Apps just need to expose a handful of core actions (order food, book ride, play playlist) as structured intents and let a lightweight on-device agent figure it out. Android is well positioned here, the foundation already exists

@antoine_os I want to see this happen but always end up missing my mac shortcuts so bad… Any tips?

im an ipad believer ipad could be so great i think ipad could replace macbook easy if they let it be

Get in loser, we’re making hardware fun again

The blind box model (Labubu, gashapon) is centred around the transaction, that's when the dopamine hit happens. You either love it, trade it, or buy another box chasing rarity. The cultural power is also external, it's signalling, belonging, social currency. STARBOY is interesting as it inverts both mechanics. The randomness doesn't happen at purchase, it evolves over the lifetime of the object, creating some kind of relationship model. You can't grind for a better outcome, can't optimise it. That's a different reward loop to anything in consumer tech right now. Pretty sick release

The new Nothing 4a Pro is here! This keeps proving that Android has a wider advantage in uniqueness, personalisation and style. And better cameras for less!

@thomaspaulmann Good stuff, congrats!

Your computer, finally personal. Today we're launching Glaze, the second product in Raycast's history. It's a big moment for us, and I want to share the thinking behind it. Something is fundamentally changing about software. We see it every day inside our own team. People who never wrote a line of code are now contributing directly to our codebase. The barrier between "having an idea" and "making it real" is collapsing. And that changes everything. For six years, we've obsessed over what makes a great desktop app. The speed. The polish. The feeling of something that truly belongs on your computer. We've poured that into Raycast, and hundreds of thousands of people use it every day. But all that knowledge was locked inside our team. With Glaze, we're commoditizing it. Everything we've learned about building beautiful, capable desktop apps is now available to everyone. Tell Glaze what you want and it builds a real app that lives in your dock or taskbar. It launches instantly, works offline, and taps into the full power of your desktop. Beautiful by default and personal when you want it to be. It's fun for individuals and works just as well for teams. Our support team built a Glaze app connected to GitHub that runs their entire extension review workflow. Others have built dozens of internal tools. When you can shape software around how your team actually works, everything clicks. Here's what gets me most excited: we think Raycast becomes even more important in a world full of Glaze apps. Glaze apps will be deeply integrated with Raycast, connecting them all together in ways nobody else can do. The two products make each other better. A small team started building Glaze from scratch last summer. What they've shipped in that time still blows my mind. When we started Raycast, we set out to change how people use their computers. Glaze is the next chapter of that mission. We're opening the private beta today, March 4th. Mac only to start. Existing Raycast users will get priority access soon. We can't wait to see what you create and I’ll share some of my apps over the next couple of days. 💠

@tedchildish Amen

The secret to a good soundtrack is just make it feel like a Best of The Haçienda compilation

Stunning work from the team, as always. youtube.com/watch?v=5lwI2e…

This isn’t the first time a shift like this happens and it won’t be the last. I feel like what’s happening right now is what happened to photography — when everyone has an amazing camera and a publishing outlet to the entire world, we just get more of everything. Diversity and new ideas, class differences erased. But also a huge noise increase. The people who would wade through the mud of challenges to master photography pre iPhones were on a path of commitment to being the best they could be. Nowadays the vast ocean of noise has weirdly dampened photography as an art. I for sure thought the opposite would happen, that people without the means to pursue photography in the pre-iPhone times would now have a stage, but they too drowned in the noise. The same thing happened to sign making and many other fields of craft. It’s happening to software now. Average actual quality will go down and consumer expectations on quality will fall. Maybe the next 10-15 years is simply the cost of progress and we’ll build Star Trek-grade computers in a few generations from now. Perhaps this is “good”, perhaps not. Regardless, it feels like desperate times of gold rush, not like a renaissance of software. In some ways, software around 2010 felt like peak avg of quality. What did we culturally do back then that we changed or stopped doing, I wonder…

@dvdsgl CLI as the universal interface

What if Claude Code had an external display? Introducing 🖱️Claude Canvas📺! Especially useful if you're using CC as a personal agent.

@0xDevShah Why not just use Opus 4.5 through Claude Code?

Opus on Antigravity has been running my hobby project all morning. It writes feature specs, implements APIs, handles small database migrations, builds frontend components, and wires them into the backend. It refactors the UI using browser agents, debugs errors with small scripts, writes tests and iterates on them, launches experiments in the project’s playground, and babysits them by tailing logs and pulling stats from postgres. It keeps a running markdown file of highlights, maintains a record of experiments and results, and presents outcomes in clean tables. It also set up a SOC-2–level configuration, keeps all SDKs aligned with it, tests each SDK inside temporary Docker containers, and prunes them afterward. It occasionally misses ideas, but most design decisions are solid. All the code is written with Pydantic-level rigor on the backend and strong TypeScript safety on the frontend. I even had it use a browser agent to crawl a competitor’s product, understand how things are implemented, and replicate what we were missing. It did a surprisingly good job. What’s interesting is that Antigravity + Opus 4.5 feels close to what people point to when they talk about “Claude Code as AGI.” The agent itself is smart enough that I could let it run overnight, and it would get through most of this autonomously. The problem is the IDE. It’s a goddamn piece of crap software. Frequent errors, agents shutting down, too much friction. Antigravity has a damn good agent running on a damn weak IDE. Fix that @antigravity, and this gets genuinely compelling. cc @_mohansolo !

@KMkota0 good stuff xavier!

2025 wrapped - 12 months without a permanent home - started the project i want to spend next decade+ on - raised $1.6M to take it to the next level - 21k+ new followers, 6.5M+ views, 191k+ likes thanks for following along!

Fully agree, Bauhaus emerged from industrial and social constraints (mass production, housing crises, new materials), not from "what should the future look like?"

@poetengineer__ also the web proved you can bootstrap something imperfect and patch it later the ideas from earlier hypertext systems (bidirectional links, versioning, ...) weren't wrong, they just weren't in what shipped

@poetengineer__ The web (1989-91) spread through pragmatic tradeoffs such as unidirectional links, no central registry, documents can break, etc... simpler to implement, easier to scale, but we lost some richness in the process

reading about hypertext apps from the 80~90s, back when the role was called "hypertext designer" rather than web designer or developer. many came out of academia, and most failed, but there's sth exciting about seeing such a diverse range of forms that web could take

@AliFakhruddin13 digital identity ≠ personality we'll see a massive unlock when we can trust agents to interact with each other asynchronously

@walidbehlock Dont they already? ChatGPT has its own personality altogether.

Bots will have their own digital identity, agency, and communication methods We're rapidly moving past "bots that use human interfaces" toward native agent-to-agent protocols What gets unlocked when agents can discover, authenticate, and transact with each other without human readable intermediaries? Bots as first-class internet citizens
