Design + code = disco.

@emmafeirstein @mercor_ai @RentAHumanX rent a human seems fun + dystopian at the same time. welcome to x :))

hey i'm emma! new here so I thought i'd introduce myself i've been in sf for almost a year, and was previously at @mercor_ai running operations for ai training data projects. this week i'm starting something new! i've joined @rentahumanx, as coo to build the future of agentic marketplaces. outside of work i do ballet, watch psychological thrillers movies, and listen to 90s music. don't be a stranger, lets connect if you're an ops nerd too :)

This is my solution. A small floating toolbox with basic features that lets you draw real quick, with no hindrance.

Made me realise how non-designers upload their sketches/visions. Their flow looks like: draw on paper -> take a picture -> upload (if you use Mac) -> get it on laptop -> upload (non Mac users). That's lots of hindrance! (2/n)

I was explaining my vision to Gemini the other day, and it just didn't get it. Thought, might as well just draw it. But I was too lazy to open Figma. Any canvas I could think of was another website I had to open... (1/n)

I hate the "thinking" phase when chatting with AI LLMs. 1. It doesnt support my ADHD 2. I always switch to another tab 3. That is a horrible UX So, I added distractions within the context. Now a user can STAY a bit longer. Designed in @paper Coded on @cursor_ai

Mapped the reasons when a user switches context - take notes on Notion, Docs [added a Notes feature] - have to doodle to help in image generation (especially a non-designer user, with no access to canvas tools) [added draw feature] - to seek distractions [play mini games]

Watch me explain the why and how here: loom.com/share/a68d43eb…

Made a Chrome extension that provides more tools so users "Stay" on LLM chatbots. #PaperChallenge Coded on @cursor_ai and designed on @paper - also UI, design documentation, & presentation images

@aditawks true but the vibes at disco are good - i love the accountability of both that i now have

@icanvardar Figma needs to up their game for sure though

figma isn’t dead. you really think llms can match the creativity of a great designer lol

@uxkosta Never forget your roots

most of you posting about figma being dead suck at design

Vibing at the disco..

Why call it design/coding and not discoing

“Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm” Always in the back of my mind while designing w AI tools
