Dragoon's Lab | @0xDragoon

imp announcement ↘︎ gm gm folks, surprise, this was @0xDragoon the whole time. crypto x ai native designer, 2x founder, worked w/10+ crypto teams, helped founders raise millions, led + scaled startups, ai x vc x tech. early @0xPolygon follow me → @0xDragoon, that's where i drop work. explorations. ideas. builds. and more. if anything i've posted ever helped you in any way, rt this. it costs you nothing and it means everything to someone who's building. that's it. back to posting. thanks:)

Today, we're releasing Omma. Create 3D, Websites, and Apps with AI agents. Start now on omma.build Follow @omma_ai

i organized everything i've written on crypto design into one page. brand strategy, case studies, wallets, onboarding, defi, frameworks, mental models. not a blog archive. a curriculum ↘︎ designprotocol.substack.com/p/the-library currently free access for everyone, paid plan soon.

dropping thursday ↘︎ phantom won by making wallets pretty. @Rabby_io @DeBankDeFi won by making wallets honest. different thesis. both work. breaking down how rabby thinks about design for power users. explore more in the meantime ↘︎ designprotocol.substack.com

From sketch to interactive design, with your design system. With Themes in @MagicPathAI, you can shape the look and feel of a design starting from something as simple as a sketch on the canvas. It’s the fastest way to visualize ideas in your brand.

#56 built onesheet because i got tired of sending decks that were already out of date by the time anyone opened them. decks are static. you make them, send them, then spend the next call explaining what changed since you exported the pdf. metrics are stale. roadmaps shifted. the deck becomes a lie the moment you close the editor. built a single-screen canvas instead. company name, what you do, live metrics with definitions, roadmap, explicit risks, and a proof stream of actual shipped artifacts. everything structured. everything inspectable. one url that stays current because it's the source of truth, not a snapshot of one. the core idea is working: a company should be legible in one screen, and that screen should be honest.

#57 built glow for a friend who runs a small salon. she was managing bookings across texts and calls, walk-ins on memory, and inventory by guessing when things ran out. watched her work for a day. clients waiting without knowing how long. staff double-booked because the schedule lived in three places. repeat clients slipping through because nobody tracked when they were due back. built a system that handles all of it. calendar with drag-and-drop scheduling, walk-in queue with auto-assignment that actually explains why it picked that slot, inventory that deducts automatically when services complete, revisit reminders based on service type. added ai chat so she can ask things like "who's overdue for a visit" without digging through screens. still adding things based on what she actually needs running the shop.

Meet the new Stitch, your vibe design partner. Here are 5 major upgrades to help you create, iterate and collaborate: 🎨 AI-Native Canvas 🧠 Smarter Design Agent 🎙️ Voice ⚡️ Instant Prototypes 📐 Design Systems and DESIGN.md Rolling out now. Details and product walkthrough video in 🧵

#55 built mindtrace out of a question: what if agents could understand how you decide, not just what you produced? every ai tool gets your outputs. documents, messages, code. but the reasoning that led there - the options you rejected, where you hesitated, what constraints shaped your thinking - that context disappears. you have to re-explain yourself every time. built a decision capture system that runs entirely inside the app. compare options, track dwell time, log choices and rejections, rate outcomes. turns all of that into a live graph, inferred preferences, and agent-ready packets you can paste anywhere. no external tracking. no background monitoring. just structured decision moments you create yourself. local-first, shareable via url. still fixing render bugs and refining the feed system. but the core idea is working: capture enough decisions and the tool starts showing you patterns you didn't notice yourself. experimenting with whether portable context changes how agents respond to you.

launch announcement ↘︎ introducing "the protocol" → design patterns and strategic insights for building better crypto products and brands. the only publication breaking down design, brand strategy, and creative direction for crypto as business infrastructure, not decoration. until now, this was invite-only. shared privately with my circle. today, it's open for everyone. If you found it useful, share it with your friends or rt. help me get this in front of the right people. here's the full story ↘︎ i've been working and obsessing over crypto brand, product, design and creative strategy for years. somewhere between the curiosity and the work, i started curating, organizing and writing everything down. breakdowns. frameworks. patterns. mistakes. things i wished someone told me earlier. never meant to build a publication. just kept curating and writing. put it on substack, ran it private, shared it with a few founders i trusted. then a creative block hit. i backed the whole thing up and deleted it. classic. came back eventually. reorganized everything. and realized - nobody else is writing about design, creative direction and brand strategy for crypto as business infrastructure, not decoration.` so here we are. same work, proper home. if you're a founder, vc, or designer in web3 - this is for you. welcome to the protocol:) ↓ read it here designprotocol.substack.com

Software was eaten by AI.

You are not your grand plans. You are your daily patterns.

@adamho @fal @gorkem @burkaygur congratsssss! ❤️

It’s been a long time coming, but I’m excited to join @fal as the new Head of Design. I’ve been collaborating with @gorkem and @burkaygur on the fal brand closely over the past few years, so it all made (too) much sense to continue this journey on a more permanent basis (and they could pull me out of FT-retirement). Excited to explore the space of generative media and work alongside the brightest minds. As for the studio, I’ll be still taking on projects under my studio still but on a much much more limited basis. 😌

Increasingly convinced that the tools that win will be the tools that meet you where you are, in whatever workflow you have

Introducing Web to Design. Turn any website into an editable UI. Just paste a URL. Create new variants, different pages, or build components inspired by the original design. We’ve been using this internally a ton, it’s the fastest way to go from a raw idea to a prototype.

#54 built archive out of curiosity. wanted to understand what happens between saving inspiration and actually using it. every tool in this space is a filing cabinet. save images, organize into folders, then figure out the direction yourself. the gap between collecting and executing is still manual. built a moodboard-to-direction engine. save 5+ references, hit extract direction, get a color palette with assigned roles, tag clusters showing the visual dna, a written brief summarizing what the collection is saying, and exportable css/json tokens ready to paste into a project. still experimenting with the extraction logic.

You've never vibe coded like this before. @replit is now your canvas for building & creating. In this video I'm building a graphics shader app. I click Replit's canvas button and see the live app running on infinite editable canvas, generate several design variants in parallel side by side, bring one back into my app. Just 1 of the things we shipped.

@amasad Incredible stuff 🔥

Software isn’t merely technical work anymore. It’s creative. Introducing Replit Agent 4. The first AI built for creative collaboration between humans and agents. Design on an infinite canvas, work with your team, run parallel agents, and ship working apps, sites, slides & more.
