I’m thrilled to announce we’ve raised $44M to build a new home for product design. Meet @noondesign. No workflow is more broken and fragmented in 2026 than the product designers’. The very same people who care most about building software don’t have software purpose built for them. @kushagrasinha7 and I have lived this problem first hand as designers ourselves. That’s why we built Noon. The first product design tool that works entirely on your product code, so you can design not only how a product looks, but also how it works. With AI at its core that works in seconds, not minutes. For the first time, you can create, iterate, build, test and ship. All in one canvas. No translations or roundtrips to the codebase and back. Comment “Get Noon” and we’ll get you on the list for early access.

Take it to the Max 🔴

I like to think of it as a binding vow. Where your creativity is suppressed until the deadline is close then it unlocks at 200% capacity. Like Nanami's overtime.

📌 Note to self

@empathyx100 @signulll well in fairness the majority are not actually doing “product design” or what Signull is suggesting. Many are user interface designers masquerading as something more.

. @createwithplay 🥲

*The* design process is dead. Long live the *design* process.

Looking forward to a full couch for all my favorite OPs & EDs.

I don’t stay positive all the time, I stay grounded. I let grief, doubt, regret, & fatigue pass thru me freely without letting them define me, b'cause clarity eventually returns. I hold onto my purpose, which steadies me when emotions fluctuate. And, I remember to laugh.

Y'all be quick to "Match Energy" when it's negative, but can't reciprocate love, affection or respect.

@solutionDigits My pleasure 🙏

Real…. Special appreciation to Manny, @Mannyficient he was the only one who took time to review my designs and give real feedback when I was starting out. He probably doesn’t remember, but it meant a lot to me and helped shape my confidence early on.

📣 NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on! “Searching for Birds” searchingforbirds.visualcinnamon.com 🐤 A #dataviz article & exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.

@daniielezeh 🤧🤧🤧

i think you’re all insane.

🚨 Research shows repeated complaining physically rewires your brain to prioritize stress and negativity. The way we speak about our daily challenges does more than just vent frustration; it physically alters the architecture of the brain. When we engage in chronic complaining, we repeatedly activate neural networks responsible for detecting threats and processing stress. Through the biological process of neuroplasticity, these circuits become stronger and more efficient every time they are used. Essentially, the brain learns to become more adept at finding things to be unhappy about, turning a temporary mood into a permanent biological predisposition toward negativity and fear-based thinking. As these negative pathways become the brain's default setting, individuals often experience a measurable increase in baseline stress levels and emotional volatility. This heightened sensitivity means that even minor inconveniences can trigger an intense stress response because the brain has been conditioned to interpret the world through a lens of threat. Findings discussed by the Stanford University School of Medicine emphasize that while this mechanism is powerful, understanding the science of affective neuroscience is the first step in consciously redirecting those pathways toward more resilient emotional patterns.

I read this so that you don’t have to. It is a bunch of meta analytical BS and vague philosophizing without any actual actionable advice. Here is a sample sentence from the article: “You aren’t where you want to be because you’re afraid to be there”. Basically Paolo Coelho-esque self help crap. Read this if you want to procrastinate but want to convince yourself that you are being productive. Here is how you actually fix your life: Get up every morning and do like three tasks. Push yourself to do those three tasks, no matter how badly you do them. They can be anything. Send the email. Apply for the job. Write the essay.. That’s it. Just keep doing shit. Instead of reading BS self help advice that only helps the author get elonbucks.

Craft at its finest. The post purchase experience 🤌🏾

That game reminded me of Arsenal, 1/2 seasons ago #MCICHE
