@CharlesPattson There actually once was a tool that... okay I'll stop... but for real... the 'almost' was palpable. Miss you Charles. 😘

I just want to animate with a timeline inside Figma.

@zack415 What a fantastic run Zack!!! Many many many congrats. You've done so much for this community and it was such a joy to jam with you all on a regular basis during the InVision days. Nothing but the best! PS - I will 100% take one of those pink basketballs if you're serious. 😅

And some special thanks to some folks I want to shout out directly because whether you realize it or not, you played a part in the story of supporting and building our business over the years...

I quit my dream job today. After over a decade of building Dribbble and Creative Market, I’ve decided the time is right for me to close this epic chapter in my life and bring in a new leader. While I believe I was the right CEO to grow Dribbble’s users from thousands to tens of millions and increase revenue from low 7-figures to $50M with 20% profit (all without taking in any outside capital), I’ve realized Dribbble now needs a CEO with a different skill set to take the business to the next level. After interviewing many top-tier candidates, ultimately one person stood out that checked all the boxes in experience, leadership, and culture fit. I’m excited to introduce Dribbble’s new CEO, Constantine Anastasakis (@constantine__a). I'm thrilled about Constantine’s vision and roadmap to elevate Dribbble’s platform to further empower designers to make a living doing what they love. Being CEO of Dribbble was one of the greatest experiences of my life, both professionally and personally. I worked with the smartest people I’ve ever known, formed incredible friendships, and had so much fun that at times I forgot this was actually a job. I’ve been sorting through old photos and documents of my time at Dribbble, reflecting on so many remarkable memories and people. So before I step out today, I wanted to share some of the top moments and well-deserved shoutouts to the Dribbble fam!

@InVisionApp 🤣

With Freehand, we lifted digital collaboration and productivity for hybrid and remote teams up to new plateaus. Now, we’re ready to present a revolutionary way to realize digital collaboration that is so real, you can touch it. Introducing FreehandsOn💥 invisionapp.info/3j1YzQp

@sammmer TBH- still discovering and playing! Finding some initial promising use cases: using as a quick news consumption device (Feedly), quick calendar reference, quick access to smart home controls (which always seem to be implemented better on mobile OSes). Trackpad feels so natural!

@0lmstead How does the iPad fit into your workflow Stephen? I’m looking for inspiration!

Using Apple's new Universal Control feature for unifying Macs and iPads is... works WAY better than I thought it would. I suspect this will be a total game change for my workflow. Just ordered an iPad desk mount.

@benadam11 TOTALLY! I had written it off assuming the experience would be lackluster... gave it a go today and was blown away. Its actually seamless!

@0lmstead This is super encouraging - it looked like a game-changer when they announced it but then I got less confident due to all the delays (probably worth the wait if it works well)

Some musings on why I believe digital 'whiteboards' should be treated as so much more than the physical counterparts that inspired them. TL;DR - I'm convinced the format is fast-becoming a defining piece of digital infrastructure for the #FutureOfWork. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

What a lovely surprise to wake up to this feature article in @ProductHunt's Daily Digest! Really fun to think about the #futureofwork. Leaning in to embrace 'best-in-breed' tools, not away from them. Onward! producthunt.com/newsletter/993…
