Shipped a very rough first version of an experiment today. Not a finished portfolio — more like a place to explore how I work when most of the value lives in ambiguity, prototypes, and half-built ideas. This is v1. Shipping to learn.

Gonna build an iOS productivity app with Claude + Cursor with Swift UI. Anyone had success? Wish me luck.

I don’t usually share things like this, but I think it’s important to be honest. I’ve been looking for a full-time role since September. I’m a senior iOS engineer + product designer with 10+ years experience, and I’ve spent that time building and shipping real products (most recently: @ateiq_app, @naturalis_app, @getuppapp). Despite interviews and ongoing work, I’m now about a month away from needing something stable for my family. If you know a team that values someone who can both design and build, I’d really appreciate an introduction. Thank you! ❤️

@shadcn I do this too. When i hover on a button, i expected the cursor to change. But there might be an intention for not changing the cursor.

I see. How many of you do this? I’d like to get a sense of how common this is.

@Larkef Dope work

I just tried Figma MCP to Claude for the first time and I'm shocked. It didn't catch the font family difference, but it's going to save a lot of back and forth. 1. Asked Claude in the terminal to find the official Figma MCP to Claude 2. Followed the instructions 3. Claude asked for the figma URL 4. It doesn't accept the file share URL, so right clicked on the frame > copy paste as > copy link to selection 5. Claude now has eyes on the Figma nodes

@chmielwork Mainly Claude for thinking, but when hit my limit, I switched to Cursor for executing.

Now it’s the best time to become a Design Engineer. Do you spend more time with Claude or Cursor?

@iamsahilvhora 🤩

Launched my portfolio quietly last weekend. Didn't overthink it. Just published it. Now I'm tweaking things to make it cleaner. Kept a few parts from the old design that worked and rebuilt the rest with better layouts and structure. Still not done, but it's live. iamsahilvhora.com

Hows your Friday going? I got the flu, collabing with Claude and Cursor, watching 80s horror. Being internally crushed by the expectation of taste and AI, whilst also being a father to a growing teen.

@EmbersCommunity Take it easy

Hey Everybody. No space today. I'm not feeling great. See you tomorrow.

Current workflow shipping apps with AI, as a designer: 1. Experience pain in daily life 2. Research if this is felt by others, Grok, Perplexity, Manus 3. Chat with GPT, Claude about it 4. Generate PRD 5. Ask Claude to AskUserQuestions 6. Scaffold shadcn/ui 7. Claude to think/Cursor to Execute 8. Fight with MCPs, API keys, Question my life's decisions 9. Push to Github 10. Deploy on Vercel 11. Fight with DNS 12. Ask GPT/Claude to destroy Idea (realised i should have done this around steps 2/3

Honest question — Designers, how do you handle a stakeholder who can't clearly articulate what they want before a sprint?

This is an insane level of craft 🤩

Hit my daily limit with Claude as a Designer. Is there a skill that could dry run prompts and say 'Hey, you're going to burn x tokens, you could try this instead… Its happened twice this month. Usage and output is higher than ever. Now for a nap 😅

Claude and I are doing some made stuff as a Designer. Neon, Drizzle, Scraping, Public API, ToS, Datasets = outcomes, patterns. No UI Design to see yet. Strategy locked in.

Today is a horrible day for @BlitzitApp. We're a small startup with around 10,000 total users, 3K paid. Growing every single day. If you check us on Trustpilot, Product Hunt, anywhere, you'll find a committed, raving fan base. We run one of the biggest productivity Discord servers out there, ranked number one for the keyword "productivity." Until a month ago every piece of public opinion about us is overwhelmingly positive. And today, for the second time, @Google has suspended our @Firebase backend. No warning. No lead time. No clear explanation. Here's what happened. The primary email on our Firebase account was tied to a @GoogleWorkspace that got suspended 2 weeks ago. They make it almost impossible to transfer the primary owner email... This one suspension cascaded into taking down the entire backend that our platform runs on. Every user. Every task. Every piece of data. Inaccessible. This first happened two weeks ago. We went through the appeal process, which didn't even resolve it. We ended up having to manually reinstate our Firebase project through another owner tied to the account, without access to the primary Workspace owner. And now it's happened again. We are on a pay-as-you-go plan. We are a paying customer. And this is how we get treated. Let me put this in perspective. Companies like @stripe resolves issues almost immediately. Even @Meta's ad platform, at least responds the next day. Google? 72 hours. Minimum. With zero indication that they care about the impact on your business while you wait. Last week I tweeted about how this same Workspace suspension that restricted access to my YouTube channel with thousands of followers. No warning, no communication, just a vague "policy breach" and a full suspension. That was bad enough. Now the same issue has come back and taken down our entire product. It's not just my content anymore. It's our users' data. If anyone at Google sees this, something has to change. You cannot offer services that businesses build their entire infrastructure on and then pull the rug with no warning, no escalation path, and a 72-hour response time. That is not sustainable for any founder or any business. We are going to lose trust over this. We are going to lose users. I genuinely don't know if we can recover without starting almost from scratch. Google, you are a trillion-dollar company. You should be able to move faster than 72 hours for a paying customer. Put us through a proper support process. We deserve better. Please help us.

@iannuttall tailark.com thank me later

what are the best sources of paid templates for tailwind/next.js/astro? i love tailwindui, lexingtonthemes and shadcnblocks but am looking for more very high quality starter designs
