Good morning fellow creatives! 😀👋 Are you interested? P.S. You. Do. Not. Want. To. Miss. This.

Hi. Just a smol update. I’ve not been posting on this account for the reason that my content was constantly getting suppressed by the algo. So I’ve started a new account at @MeganeJon. Hope to stay connected!

Noticed that @Rabby_io browser extension has included biometric/pass key login. Nice little upgrade there, but is that mostly useful for laptop users that have readily access to fingerprint scanning? Using the passkey still requires that I enter a password, so I'm trying to decide if I should be using the passkey or just my regular password?

@JosephGrillo Actually AGI happened already, no one is real.

I go off island for one day and like 100 AI updates have happened.

@timbo_xyz Your pics are making me absolutely jelly.

Checked out Baan Saen Saep, a dope cafe in Bangkok, Thailand 🇹🇭 2 floors with plants all over and lots of seating, though I got there midday and all the decent seating was gone There are a few tables perfect for a long session, but it seems like you have to get there early to snag one Seats are wooden so keep that in mind if you're considering sitting for a long time It was a little too warm for my liking, but I found a table next to air on the second floor and made that my home Wifi was giving me problems so I just used my hotspot For me, this will be better for a short sesh or socializing, but I do recommend stopping by 🙏

@LukeADesign @stevelauda_ In Asia

@JonSpectacle @stevelauda_ Where are you based?

I fully knew it didn’t come with a plug, but this is still absolutely wild 😂

@LukeADesign @stevelauda_ I just got a new one and I got a plug actually under the booklet

@stevelauda_ Literally nothing else in the box 😭

@timbo_xyz that's crazy that such an incredible looking spot is open 24hours

Needed a late night Bangkok spot so I hit Le Cafe Phenix in Ekkamai 🇹🇭 Lots of food and drink options, plenty of comfy seats, and limited outlet access The wifi was spotty when I was there so I just used my hotspot (never had issues in the past) It's open 24/7 and was quiet around midnight, but I've been there when it's been packed in the past It's also steps away from Gateway with endless food options, but keep in mind that building closes at 10 PM Easy access via BTS Ekkamai, as well as parking available at Gateway I parked my motorbike in the lot, but I noticed some people park right outside on the Sukhumvit sidewalk

Finally got a quantized version of gemma 4 running locally on my old Mac Mini. The conversational/orchestral layer using a local model, then calls on subagents that only used cloud based models to do the complicated stuff seems like a nice little solution. Still lots of tinkering though!

@airlasart oh keepin my eye out for this then!

@JonSpectacle Been thinking of doing that too! Might try it out soon🤓

I made a generative typeface that responds to your attention in real time. Made with p5.js and WebGazer.js

I've been designing since the 1990s, and AI hasn't impacted the way I design. I've tried generating variants and exploring directions, but it's not there for me yet on the visual side. It could be a skill issue, I admit that. But if AI went away tomorrow, nothing would change in my craft, I'd still be able to design. But some wouldn't be able to because they rely on it too much. Which will become their weakness.

@theatashka your project is compared to your users last website/app visited no matter what it was.

What's one thing you wish every client understood before starting a project? I'll go first: your website isn't for you. It's for the person visiting it for the first time.

@kristinlow It's like reading a Mission Impossible script

Absolutely heartbreaking, and gutted for the team and users. This level of attack preparation is intense.

@pawelnolbert @Photoshop @creativecloud @Adobe oh I missed the Easter eggs they used to have in the splash screens.

Still the best splash screens of them all. #nostalgia

@themoe do it with friends...oh wait that came out wrong..

Do it alone Do it broke Do it distracted Do it with no sleep Do it without friends Do it on the weekends Do it when you don't feel like Do it when no one else is watching Do it when they want you to fail Do it because you want to Do it without backing Do it

@0x_ultra karaoke and learning at the same time FTW!

spent past half an hour vibecoding something i've been wanting for years: a Spotify extension that displays pinyin over lyrics and allows switching between simplified / traditional Canto also supported! i always had to google the songs name + pinyin before this lol

that's an interesting shift, but it's worth observing a little longer before making a blanket conclusion IMO. Dashboards exist because people like seeing the data to them without having to say a word. Until we're directly interfaced with the UI via a neural link, dashboards will likely go back to being a dashboard, and the chat bar will float or live in a drawer.

notice something? Linear, PostHog, Attio - all shipped the same thing in the last few weeks. Homepage is a chat bar - not a dashboard. This is the SaaS industry quietly admitting that traditional UI doesn't work anymore. Every user is different. One homepage can't serve them all. The playbook is shifting: → expose your core APIs → connect an agentic layer → let users use software the way they want SaaS became chat. Chat will become Generative UI - the agent won't just reply in text, it will compose the interface itself. We're closer than people think.

@dariusdan would be ironic that a few weeks later the one hiring get's replaced themselves.

Imagine a week ago you were hiring a lead designer to manage a team, only to say now that in a few weeks from today there will be no more designers. 😔

i charged up an old ipad i hadnt touched in years opened up the browser tabs for "nft nyc" "breakpoint 2021" "ftx" are open 😭
