Book of Shapes is my latest side-project. A daily generative pattern gallery. Simple, bold and eh ... configurable. Tweak it, download it, paste it straight into Figma. 40 patterns live, a new one every day. CU ❤️

@radbar_1 Not a mymind user but I build my own system (initially also planned as a product at seio.io ) and realised this at about 400+x too

By the way - I've only collected maybe 800 items so far, but interesting thing happens around number 500 By that time you probably saved at least few cards in every possible category/style you like and you switch from 'this is where is save stuff' to 'this is where i go to for inspiration' you curated everything so even similar (same vibe) items are your still the ones you saved so scrolling is literally slop free: banger, banger, banger and now i go to Pinterest and it's so frustrating to consume so much crap before i find something nice cc @mymind

@MaxMusing people complain abaut mcp-auth issues and then "The CLI alternative is API keys in environment variables. Yikes." is really the solution 🤣🤣🤣 I take the at least half-good integrated flows here (that will improve for sure)

@cjzafir MCPs are up and running (inside companies)

Some secrets: 1. Opus 4.5 > Opus 4.6 2. Codex 5.4 1M context is actually 512k 3. Qwen 3.5 is best OS model series (RN) 4. MCPs are dead 5. Openclaw was a prototype 6. Apple is the new NVIDIA 7. Perplexity is biggest grifter 8. Paper. design > figma 9. Ollama is just a crappy wrapper 10. Open source AI is ahead already.

@GergelyOrosz The usefulness of MCP is just being discovered (for some it may take a bit longer)

MCPs are the opposite of dead. They are the life blood of how AI agents use services inside mid-sized and above companies. Case in point: Uber runs on MCPs internally, for good reason. Details: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/how-uber-use…

@mrblackstudio @framer Congratulations 💐🎇

I’m really honoured to be named Best @Framer Designer 2025. A lot of hours, a lot of care, a lot of obsession, and a lot of trying to make things feel a bit more human. Very thankful to Framer and to everyone who’s supported the work. Means a lot. 💙

@bbssppllvv @figma Figma-Console-MCP lets you do this. The Original Figma MCP is underwhelming in comparison.

Am I crazy or can we still not connect an AI agent to @figma and actually design stuff?

@jshguo My boss still likes departments

AI multiplies capability, not judgment. Designers who span UX/UI, engineering, product strategy and business ops turn generative drafts into production‑ready features that actually move the business. Bridge intent → implementation → impact.

@balintorosz @benjitaylor Interesting approach. Thinking about the same problem for some time … seems like solutions are coming in this year (interstate also if we have a diversification here or if anthropic or OpenAI will provide a feature that will eat all custom solutions)

One of the biggest area I’m working on right now is trying to bridge the gap between linear chat interfaces and the non-linear nature of human thinking. @benjitaylor’s Agentation already shows that markup and annotation resonate strongly with visual feedback, and I’ve found they feel more natural in text-based environments as well. One tiny step, but in the right direction. Coming tonight to agents.craft.do

@taylor_sntx Oh I love it

interactive topographic 3D landscape with a CRT shader running on three.js 🔥 2026 feeling like 1996 and I'm here for it.

@Aurelien_Gz Loved the look and feel of the game so much

my brain can't process this.. ​prince of persia (1989) animations were hand drawn over real video.. ​on a machine 1 million times less powerful than an iphone

@sotoalt_ @grove_online Love it and am building something similar. Some people seem to „hate“ noodle/cancas-ui but I do not see another possibility since thinking needs branching and merging - it is never a linear process.

just watching my living idea about an app to work on ideas on my app to work on ideas @grove_online

@attentionmech Yeah. I was amazed to realise that an oscillator lives in both worlds… like many many other things/concepts

different kind of wave forms learning sound theory is fun tbh. it intersects so much with visualization aesthetics too.

@forgebitz This year will be drastic … old school managers will start to ask for „an Agent“

this year every ai startup will pivot to agents (again) openclaw/claude code being the inflection point

@mhmazur I think for non coding tasks… research and so on (let different „personas“ analyse a subject with different focus) it is a thing.

When I'm coding with agents, I'm usually just giving the agent one thing to work on at a time. When the agent is done with that, I prompt it to work on the next thing, and so on. Every now and then I'll kick off a second agent to work in parallel on something that's unrelated, but it's rare. Don't think I've ever had 3+ agents working in parallel. For those of you who are often running multiple agents at the same time, I would love to learn about the type of tasks you're having them work on and just in general what your workflow is. I like the idea of running 10+ agents at once like some power users on here seem to do, I just can't wrap my head around incorporating that ability into my day-to-day workflow.

@rauchg @burkeholland It is the year where agents will become mainstream in the corporate world … skills (but also the current model capabilities ) are the foundation. Huge interest in people capable to set up agents (read: write markdown based systems ) incoming.

Google has shipped a CLI for Google Workspace (Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Sheets, Docs, …) Huge! Written in Rust, distributed through npm & skills.sh $ npm i -g @⁠googleworkspace/cli $ npx skills add github:googleworkspace/cli 2026 is the year of Skills & CLIs github.com/googleworkspac…

@888mech Fascinating.

173) phyllotaxis

@888mech bookofshapes.com/patterns/phyll… 👉 go here if you like sliders export as svg. explore many more shapes and patterns. (just realised that I should tweak the min)

@thdxr I think people that are able to think this way, are the only ones that will survive being called "developers".

when you think of feature A your job is to recognize that it's actually a special case of feature X and if you implement feature X it unlocks feature A B C people are struggling with this lately because they can't think bigger than what their agent can do

@elmd_ Absolutely ... I somewhere read we are in the "MS-DOS"-Stage of the agentic age (and this is obviously not only true regarding the timeline 😄 ). I can think of so many nice usage patterns that are simply not possible with a terminal.

Unpopular take: Terminal agents are anti-UX. The terminal is a fantastic tool, but I'd argue it’s a weird default UI for most people. The CLI feels powerful, but it hides state, encourages risky commands, and punishes humans. Most users need guardrails, not grit.

@mannay Really love your graphics
