@lances_art @rive_app @guidorosso @jeffamcavoy I’m using Webflow’s native Rive integration plus Webflow’s built in interactions, rather than a custom code embed!

@jsa @rive_app @guidorosso @jeffamcavoy In Webflow are you using a custom code embed? Using Jeff's example, you'd need to change the names to match your view model, artboard, state machine, and property. Maybe try with his .riv file first?

@9th @thecosmos Hey Andy 👋🏼 I run ourlifeswork.com, an LA-based creative studio, having worked with Coframe, Antimetal, Opal, and others. We love Cosmos and have been using it as part of our workflow for several years - would love to chat! 🤍

Looking for a studio to design and build the new @thecosmos marketing site. Who should we work with?

You lose great people when you fail to create an atmosphere that allows them to do their best work

When evaluating a company, one of my favorite questions to ask is whether it has an aesthetic. We don’t talk about aesthetics as the highest form of brand or story or a reflection of team cohesion, because investing on “vibes” or “look” or “mood” is very frowned upon. Even using it as a data point is beaten out of us. But if you look at any entity that’s successful across industries, you know its aesthetic. A singular company doesn’t just have a brand, it has an aesthetic that dominates its culture, its people and all products that come from it, whether the font on the wall art or the core product its selling. It’s not just best companies. The best sports teams have an aesthetic. The best artists. The best campaigns have strong aesthetic. And the more cohesive an aesthetic is, the more successful and durable the culture is. If you’re trying to decide which candidate is going to win an election, ask yourself which team has a more cohesive and stronger aesthetic. If you’re trying to decide which company will dominate a market, see if you can pick out the company’s people or products out of a lineup. Numbers often lie. Narratives can be false. But it’s really, really hard to fake aesthetic. And if a company has one early and it’s genuine, it’s often much more durable than it appears.

@eoghan @joshpxyne @khoslaventures @natfriedman Thanks so much for the love, Eoghan! ☄️

@joshpxyne @khoslaventures @natfriedman That is an extremely good marketing site

We raised $9M from @khoslaventures and @natfriedman! Thanks to Reuters for covering it! Ok I have to go onboard a new customer now bye

the @coframe_ai landing page is one of the best I've seen to date. Makes me want to buy it right away.

We’re super proud to have designed and built Coframe’s new site. See it live at coframe.com 🤖

@Stammy sohohome.com is unbeatable

designers: what are your favorite home office furniture brands? stuff like high quality wood bookcases, consoles, storage, etc.

AI models struggle with generating high-quality, on-brand UI. We developed a model fine-tuned for UI code generation and worked with @OpenAI to build it. 👇

colleges prioritized making people feel perfectly safe over everything else and produced a generation afraid to fail, and thus afraid to take risk, and thus on pace to accomplish extremely little

A simple rule I taught my 9 yo today: If you can't figure something out, figure out how to figure it out.

@katienotopoulos In 7th grade my parents threatened to confiscate my iPhone in the lead up to exams (as I was using it around the clock to run my own web hosting company), so I ordered a plastic clone from Hong Kong and gave that to them instead.

Tell me what the greatest scam you ever pulled was.

Best advice I can give for 2018: surround yourself with people who are obsessed with trying to shape the future, and cut anyone from your circle who is living in the past.

Ciao Milano, sei stato meraviglioso!
