If you teach your kids anything, teach them this: The more you focus on your thoughts and emotions the stronger they grow. The best way to get out of your head is to move your body.

Loving Claude Code, finally able to build a Cycling Group Ride app. Wil be posting the demo soon :D

@akafaceUS This seems like way to much hassle for low rent. No shower, no shitter, having to empty the water once a week, no window or fresh air. Also if you had to live here… having an “entertainment system” and “bar for your liquor” seems like a way to get depressed very quick.

This man spent two months living in a storage unit that had running water, electricity and everything.

@FreeezerWorks @HoussamDesigner Nice man, great position to take. I'll keep you in mind for any future clients that need product imagery with an art direction!

@AvalonPortolan @HoussamDesigner Basically I only do product renders(images) and animations, aiming on storytelling as primary goal instead if "only looking good"

X is cool. But it’s 10x better when you connect with DESIGNERS. If you’re Designer, say hi👋

@FreeezerWorks @HoussamDesigner Im good, i see you work with eCom brands creativing product imagery. You do other things for these brands?

@AvalonPortolan @HoussamDesigner Thanks bro! I'm good how are you?

Grok vs Gemini Pro who wins?

AI taking over! Unless you're living under a rock or a pineapple under the sea, it's no surprise that AI is getting seriously good at building fully functional websites. You have unlocked a new Vibe Character. The Vibe Designer. 😎 The Vibe Designer's tool list: Nano Banana Pro, Gemini 3 Pro, ChatGPT 5.1 Codex and assorted node builders. They don't just conceptualise and design UI outlines. They can build out a full brand visual identity kit, complete with logo, colour palette, working website and all the asset materials to match. Mind-blowingly cool, right? 🤯 This is the era for the ideas person. They finally get their shot at seeing whether that random idea they had while sat on a plane, ferociously typing into their notes, could actually work. Put it into the world, leave the 9-5, set up a new life in Bali. The dream. However, friends have asked me if I'm scared of AI getting so advanced so quickly. Do I feel the threat? Honestly, no. (At least not at the moment I'm posting this. 🤖👀) Why? I've had the absolute pleasure of working with brand founders and CMOs. Spending hours talking and learning about their ambitions, their current bottlenecks, and how to build that cult-like following. I've spent time looking at data, sitting in long meetings, collaborating, coming up with ideas, creative direction, growth and retention strategies. All of it. So why am I not scared? I'm not in the website building business. I'm in the people business. People still want to work with people. We bring authenticity. The beauty of small talk before a meeting, asking how your weekend was, which could spark a completely new idea for a campaign. Founders want their brands to win. And I've helped brands increase conversion by over 400%, boost AOV by more than 39%, and reach 7-figure revenue marks. But that success comes from having spent time together. Drinking a coffee. Engaging in small talk. "Every aspect of working with Avalon is a joy. Not only is he one of the most genuinely decent people you'll ever meet, he is also one of the most dedicated. He brings everything to a project. Heart and soul." To create a brand for people, you must connect with people.

If you could recommend just 2-3 supplements for peak performance as an online business owner?

Your site looks pro… so why does it feel like customers hit a brick wall? Here’s the 4-step foundation I force every site through so people actually buy instead of bounce: 1. User Journey Map
I rip apart the exact emotions your visitor feels from “who the hell are you” to “take my money.” Skip this and your site talks at people, not to them.
 2. Sitemap
No more “where do I click?” We turn your site into a greased slide straight to the sale.
 3. Content Structure
Every section has one job: sell the transformation and the benefit. Pretty stories belong on Instagram, not your checkout flow.
 4. Copy-First Draft
We write the words that convert BEFORE we spend time on design. 90% of redesign costs come from those who design first and think later. Do it backwards and watch your “beautiful” site stay broke. Ignore this process = stay invisible and poor.

@UiSavior Hi fellow UX and web designer here 👋🏻

@RinoTheBouncer Marc Ecos Getting Up!! This was such a good game

What game is this?🚀

You won’t believe all these shots are generated with Nano Banana Pro until you see it. This Heineken spec ad by Simon Meyer genuinely looks like a full studio production. Every scene was created in Nano Banana Pro, then animated with Veo3, Seedance and Kling. The craft, the lighting, the camera flow… unreal.

@theroborourke Can confirm, as a former student from this programme, Rob helped me take my skill and passion for design and turn it into a business. It allowed me to quit my job and go fully into web design. I've advanced a lot since then, but all credit to Rob and The Legends!

If you’re a web designer making under $10k/month, read this... Most people on here know me as the “sales funnel guy.” But years ago I was a web designer charging $200 per site on Upwork. I was 26, broke, and a few weeks away from quitting. Then I went all in on sales, marketing, and persuasion. I spent months studying everything I could and built a system to sell websites the right way. 6 months later: I closed a $20k project. A few months after that: I was over $100k/year. Not because my design skills improved. They didn’t. It was because I stopped selling “a website” and started selling the business outcome behind it. From 2018–2024 I took everything I learned and built it into a training for designers called The Legends Program. 1,300+ designers have gone through it. (120+ 5-star reviews on Trustpilot under “Fox Web School.”) Normally the program cost $1,000+. But for Black Friday, I’m reopening it for $350. And I’m including my $100K Email Blueprint -> every outreach script and follow-up I use today. If you want the link, DM me LEGENDS and I’ll send it. Deal ends Friday. Not reopening it again.
