I'm using @paper as a side-tool right now. But as soon as they components and themes, i'm all in. - Amazing product - Cares about and understands their users - Founder (and team) is active in community

Good example of when a company forgets why it started & who it was building for. Instead focusing on things like Make, Slides, Buzz, etc.

@marclou @tonnoz "AI told me it's possible to detect the display angle" Doesn't @tonnoz literally say that in the video, as he closes his laptop as it plays the same creaking sound 😅

I was amazed by @tonnoz's story (he's awesome follow him!) and he made me curious about MacBook's sensors. AI told me it's possible to detect the display angle. macOS exposes it through HID (Human Interface Device), so I built a random app on top of it

I got bored working on my 34th & 35th startups 😵‍💫 so I built an app that plays a creepy sound whenever I open or close my laptop. It’s called McCreep, and it’s useless. github.com/marclou/McCreep

@jnnnthnn idk man, it looks good but i can almost feel the table wobble from here as i type.

i'm about to make a very big financial mistake, someone take away my credit cards

"Your lack of urgency is wasting your potential."

i once had a close friend in the early 2000s who never asks for advice... no should i? questions, no group chats weighing in, no public planning. one day he just showed up with a new car. another time he mentioned he’d quit his job and had been running his own thing quietly... nobody knew he’d been saving, studying, failing and retrying. bro never narrated the struggle, he never advertised the intention. i used to think he was reckless for not looping people in but years later i realized he was just protecting his momentum. some plans die the moment too many voices touch them, some people work best in silence, where doubt can’t reach them and validation isn’t needed. not everyone moves loud. some people move alone and arrive fully formed. buena suerte. 👍

@faisal__chaudry Kinda, we made an mvp/manual version. It should still be fully functional right @willthomson__ ? usesolomon.app

@_kprkr Solomon a real product? Love the idea behind it

This mobile-nav just feels so calm 🧘‍♂️

@robably__ @paper Odd feeling. This wasn’t any live work just in their case study so no biggy. Was a kinda “hold up…” moment.

@_kprkr @paper Man I have never found my work ripped off 😔

Mum, I made it. I finally stumbled on some of my work repurposed? And for one of my favourite up and coming design companies @paper Same gray, same nav items, same size, same padding, same blur? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. TBH i'm not overly fussed, just thought it was funny to stumble on something so familiar. Just excited I get to join to cool designer gang.

@stephenhaney @paper Yeah all good! I figured it wasn’t something final as to why it isn’t too much of a big deal. Appreciate the reply though! And yeah did somewhat take it as a compliment tbh 😅

@_kprkr @paper Whoa... sorry, not sure what that's about! Just want to say that we haven't used that design for Paper. I think it was part of their brand explorations and wasn't in the final packet they handed off. Cool work though, I guess it's a compliment :)

@paper Found in the Primary Studio case study (and this gif). x.com/thenickpattiso…

@zachmcnair It's all good. It's a single slide in a case study. It could be worse 😬

@_kprkr yoh wtf. man, i'm so sorry

@YottaYocta I couldnt actually find/figured out that node top right. Tried searching but no results, and gradient is just a typical gradient?

Use noise or some other gradient-like texture to divide your blurry image. Most interactive design tools (Blender, TouchDesigner) have this. If you want animations, displace the noise by time. (3/4)

@_kprkr Blobs from an image or icon (1/4)

@YottaYocta Oh sick man! Will give it a play over the weekend!

@_kprkr @_kprkr got it working : D Would love to hear your thoughts over DM

@krathish Trying to rage bait me with the wrong lyrics @krathish?! (Sick video though)

anyone looking for a cracked designer? I know one 😌

@TejasRajagopal Say it ain't so 🫥

@_kprkr Ink and paper my friend

Can anyone more talented than me help me understand how to create this natural-feeling inky-blotch effect? All my shit comes out feeling not-so-natural. And if you say AI you best come with a prompt.

@YottaYocta Ah sad times, i'd love to replicate/mess around with this effect with images/etc

@_kprkr Yes! It was an earlier version of the app that had canvas rendering, so this might not be possible currently
