@fedesanchez0 @asallen Hey! I wonder if you're open to new adventures? 👀

Adding parameters to all my prototypes unlocked a new world for me. I learnt this a few years ago from @asallen and his work for Paper. Usually the best values come from tinkering and replaying the animation again and again and again.

Swipe Cards & Parameters

@sekachov @joisoftware So good

the only thing more fun than prototyping animations in after effects is spending the whole night trying to recreate them in code. streaks are now available in testflight. → @joisoftware

I guess GPT tokens were the last missing jigsaw piece that mitigated all remaining risk. Now it's perfect

Risk: about 10:1. Return: 1:10 at best. What a sweet way of spending a decade of your life.

The dream. Say you raised a $10M seed. You’ll send $8M of it right away back to pretty much the same stakeholders through the VC/LP chain as GPT tokens.

@sekachov 😂

it’s funny how you can always instantly tell if an app was designed by former graphic or web designers vs. interface designers. somehow the buttons, paddings, typography, animations and everything always give it away.

@darinwf @Dimillian Scrolling tabs are great! But the magic in Arc is Spaces. For instance I got one just for accounting: every app’s billing page A–Z, always open. Once a month I go through and upload them all. Another space has same apps with my wife logged in etc. Also, translating full pages..

@Dimillian There's a novel tabs treatment that we built that didn't make the cut to have as default. You should check it out. Would love to hear your take. Kind of like Arc's sidebar but still top tabs. It allows you to just browse without having to cleanup tabs, if that's your thing:

Sad they don’t try a new UI. I’m so tired of Chrome UI. So so tired. I worked on it more than 15 years ago and it was on the exact same buttons with the exact same icons omg.

@andrewhart @elonmusk The logo’s made from scratch. The font I used for captions is SF Mono

@ailex @elonmusk btw which font did you use

Dear @elonmusk, I've an idea

Barragán, Niemeyer, Prouvé, Scarpa, Ando, Zumthor, Mies, Wright, Le Corbusier — no architecture degree. Rams, Eameses, Noguchi, Castiglioni — no design degree. Abloh, Chanel, Dior, Versace, YSL, Prada, McQueen, Miyake — no fashion degree. That’s your sign

@DannPetty Flash, SWiSH Max and Dreamweaver in the late 90s! I got started making buttons in MS Paint and importing them BMPs into a DOS-based apps written in Turbo Pascal with Assembler injections though

To all you design tool die hards. Be flexible. I got started designing with Macromedia. Ever heard of it? Made a career building Flash websites and ads. Made popular websites/apps in Photoshop for a decade. Remember Sketch? Focus on the skill not perfecting the tool.

They found DMT in dead rats, suggesting our brain releases it at the last breath. So, I thought, maybe there’s a neurological basis for ethics after all: your life choices determine whether your final epic DMT trip would be heaven or hell.

@petergreeny 🤔

When you do what you want, you get less pleasure than when you do things you didn’t know you wanted. And you also stop wanting it. And the less things you want, the emptier your life feels. Don’t do the things you want.

@adamstern_ @charliedeets @diabrowser Yes

Building @charliedeets's design for a sidebar option in @diabrowser. We’re torn: should we ship it?

Now try to imagine something like that in any other digital design domain.

Any attempts to amend the standard (RIBA, in the UK) agreement will trigger your architect’s liability insurers to pull the brakes on the project.

Learned something insane today: most architects retain full copyright to their work and only license it to the client. What kind of medieval extortion scheme is this supposed to be
