in an era of slop, the product yearns for an interface from a human touch

@DylanAbruscato @Will__Stern I remember the good ol’ days like they were yesterday

@Will__Stern I miss the good ole days

It has been a tough couple years as a Badger fan. If the Knicks don’t win a ship this year, I’m giving up sports and getting into woodworking

@quinnslcm @dbatura great minds

@dbatura If I had @quinn I think I’d do it

Look what came in

@Techmeme @Katie_Roof @adamho you're making an impact already

Source: Fal, a GenAI model hosting service, is in talks to raise $300M to $350M at an $8B valuation; annualized revenue has hit $400M, up from $200M in October (@katie_roof / The Information) theinformation.com/articles/video… #a260319p7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">techmeme.com/260319/p7#a260…

@chrishlad This is an algorithmic feed that’s different for every user… but congrats on the raise

We're trending!

@JustinIt4Fun_ raises the floor not the ceiling

frontend-design skill raised the agent bar for frontend and now we just have a bunch of sites that use the same style again. lowest common denominator

@josephpalbanese soft launch

@drewwilson @soleio @ndstudio Likewise, legend!

@JacobyBrandon @soleio @ndstudio Good to see you man!!

what a day. @ndstudio

@SantiagoPliego I got you on 2 or 3 of these

Our team could use a card that: - Works in the Sahel, gray-zone Antarctic regions, and recently Donroe Doctrine'd parts of the world - Multi-modal rail switching: credit, debit, Lightning network, etc. - No foreign transaction fees - $2,500 annual Hilux rental credit - $5,000 annual Skyhook credit - $1,000 annual contingency logistics credit - Integrated low-power LoRa tracker beacon - 3x points on private airstrip fees - doubled to 6x if airstrip meets Saba or Courchevel Rules (<1,312ft length or >18.5% gradient) Who's building this?

@stipech get on it @martymadrid

first time using claude to write a legal contract "use plain english but ensure document is legally sound" incredible now just need a docusign integration

@usernatebrown @ndstudio 🚀

@JacobyBrandon @ndstudio Thanks for stopping by!

@metapreston @Mat_Sherman + Locket

@Mat_Sherman Successful? TikTok Recent attempts? - Dispo - Popparazi - Honk - Byte - Collage - Sonar - Houseparty - Airchat

What was the last big social network to get founded?

@zeroxjackson should’ve clarified, was referring to desktop

@JacobyBrandon lol - how about gmail ios app or outlook/office 365?

@zeroxjackson superhuman & what else?

@JacobyBrandon The most popular email clients aren’t even options!

@anothercohen say more about the gemini ocr scraping ladder. are you manually screenshotting and sending to gemini?

Finally finished vibe coding my personal health app built with Claude. Here's what it does: - Connects to the Oura API to sync sleep, recovery, steps, and exercise data - Tracks my monthly bloodwork via Rythm Health CSV uploads - Uses Playwright to scrape Chronometer daily nutrition and water intake - Uses Gemini to OCR Ladder workout screenshots and track my lifts - Full dashboard with weight trends, calorie balance charts, macro tracking, and a tabbed daily log It's completely interactive and honestly, pretty fucking cool. Blood markers even have visualizations based on what's in range and out of range.

X MONEY: 1st PHYSICAL CARD PURCHASE My first X Money purchase using the physical metal card was to get coffee this morning. In fact, I bought it with money graciously gifted to me in an P2P transaction by the very designer of the card, @JacobyBrandon. Thanks for the coffee Brandon!

@soleio well said!

@karrisaarinen @linear @figma slow enough for space to think ❤️

The project started with some of the initial explorations in my @figma file, Design Dungeon. I still like to draw everything by “hand” to get the best sense of what shape the design should take. It can be slower, but it is slow enough to give me the space to think. I have to put the shapes, the colors, the layout, the typography, and the styles together manually. Each time, I have to kind of check why I do it this way and not some other way. I did also use Codex/Claude to build some prototypes on of it so I could test it in local development.

Little big update on the @linear UI. It started as a design exploration in Figma, then became a two-person effort to build prototypes and tools with agents. From there, we went back into Figma, more code, and eventually released it internally behind a feature flag that we can turn on and off in the product.
