@msft4startups need help but getting canned responses from support for days now, is there any human support?

@figma Great stuff! How can I sign up for the Make beta?

Did you catch them all? Here’s everything we announced at #Config2025 → Figma Sites → CMS in Figma Sites (coming soon) → Grid → Figma Make → Figma Draw → Figma Buzz

@GergelyOrosz It depends on the country, you can load your iTunes account without a credit card in some countries

1. Refunds With Apple IAP it’s just not possible to do!! No, it really is not for the merchant. They cannot do a full or partial refund. Talk about poor customer support! 2. Group subscriptions. Nonexistent with IAP. 3. Paying using a non-credit card option. IAP does not allow

Here’s one reason Apple fought tooth and nail to disallow web payments for apps: Because Apple’s IAP is bad in many ways, and *so many* apps will move to web-based payments now not mainly because of the 30% Apple fee, but because of how bad IAP is. Let me give you examples:

@DaveShapi Why are you comparing it to 4o-mini pricing? It’s 3x more expensive than 4o

Sam Altman: "Intelligence too cheap to meter" Also Sam: *raises price by literally 100x*

@LinkedInHelp Does LinkedIn have a support team actually reading messages? It seems like a Bermuda triangle of ticketing systems with canned responses by ChatGPT and no SLAs

@catdumitru Thanks for tagging us. Please follow our X account and send a DM of your full name, email, and how we can help? Thanks!~Dh

@LinkedIn can I please get non-canned responses from your support team?

@coryetzkorn Agree, you can also customize off-the-shelf design systems to match your brand instead of building everything from scratch. This way you have guidelines to help engineers make implementation decisions quicker with minimal effort

Your company doesn’t need a design system. What you need is a good product. Notion, for example, scaled to 100M users without a design system. And it’s known for its consistent and intuitive design. Clearly, a design system isn’t the only valid approach. Before you create a design system, ask yourself: “Why?” What problem are you trying to solve? Designers wanting to build a design system because it’s trendy is not a good reason. That’s a solution in search of a problem. Here are some real problems that might warrant a design system: “Our product is visually inconsistent. We’d like to audit and simplify our design language.” “Our engineers feel disempowered because they have to create everything from scratch. They have little autonomy and need to pull in designers for help with everything.” “Our design and engineering teams aren’t speaking the same language and need a shared framework for thinking about components.” Even in these cases, you STILL might not need a design system. The most common reason is that you already have one! If your app is built in a modern framework like React, you’ve had a design system since day one. It’s a bunch of files in a folder called components, and it’s better than anything you’ll ever build in Figma. Your design system is real. It exists in code. It’s 100% up-to-date and represents every edge case and obscure state you could imagine. The only problem is that some of your designers can’t see it. But how can a design team improve a design system they can’t see? The simplest way is to open the components folder and ask the engineers why there are files called ButtonA, ButtonB, and ButtonC. Why are these separate components? Can we consolidate these into one and make them more consistent? Every engineer loves deleting code, so you’ll have a perfect button component in 10 minutes. Go ahead and crack open Figma and draw a few buttons if it helps communicate your ideas to the engineer. Until a company is huge, the best design system is good communication. If your product gets really big, it may be beneficial to use something like Storybook to visually document your component library in code, but you definitely don’t need to start there. Design systems that live in Figma are ultimately tools for designers. Build a library of Figma components if it helps your design team move faster, but don’t expect it to align perfectly with the design system that lives in code. Remember, the code will always be the source of truth. Whatever you do, don’t fall into the trap of building a design system too early. Default to design freedom. Sprinkle in a few rules later if it helps you move faster. Engineers know there is nothing more dangerous than a premature abstraction. Adding complexity and process before knowing the final requirements of a system will always set you up for pain down the road. The best designers and design teams understand this too. They reach for tools to solve problems and recognize that design systems are just one of many possible solutions.

@dadiomov Yes it’s a bit like saying mobile apps are just wrappers of iOS or Android OS

People who say that AI startups are "just ChatGPT wrappers" forget that they're saying it by typing into a mobile app wrapper of a phone wrapper of a chip wrapper connected to a cell network wrapper of a cell tower wrapper of ... ad nauseam. That's just how technology works.

@LinkedInHelp Thanks, I just DM-ed you

@cryptocom your customer service is unable/unwilling to close my account, help?

@MissJilianne @skincareman @elonmusk This is not right, if your business operates in California you still pay corporate taxes for CA state, regardless of where you incorporated

@skincareman @elonmusk Tesla could have easily incorporated in California like many other companies do when they are headquartered in California. Here’s the link to incorporate in California. sos.ca.gov/business-progr…

Never incorporate your company in the state of Delaware

@atlas Thank you! I just emailed you at atlas@stripe.com 📩

@catdumitru Hi there! Thanks for sharing your experience with us here. You can contact us at atlas@stripe.com with more details about your business and we will get back to you there ASAP.

@atlas I've used Stripe Atlas in the past and have been very happy with the product, service and partner benefits. I'm now again looking for a platform to streamline the incorporation process, do you offer any special rates to repeat/loyal customers? Thank you! 🙏

@MartinGTobias His competitors run ads on ad platforms that have such poor fraud controls that he is able to fake ad clicks at scale? Then he doesn’t need to even bother building ad bots, as those platforms already have plenty of bots burning his competitors’ budgets on fraudulent traffic

Met a founder today who wrote a bot that clicks on his competitors' ads to drain them of their venture funding. Amazing or terrifying?

@sbroderick Also, it looks like X might have already been trademarked by Microsoft (for Xbox) twitter.com/technollama/st…

OMG - This new X logo thing for Twitter is horrible. WTF? And x.com is parked at GoDaddy? Nobody could figure out how to put a redirect in place? Nor an SSL cert? :facepalm:

@OfficialLoganK @svpino The API can be a lot more flexible than ChatGPT, it deletes your data after 30 days, lets you change the system message and more - blog.echosystems.io/p/spreading-yo…

@svpino 100% agreed on anything repetitive, that is definitely something to do with the API.

If you are a developer using ChatGPT, stop. Instead, start using the OpenAI API directly (GPT-4 is now available.) It’s cheaper and much easier to experiment with it. I have a simple notebook where I type my query and can try different prompts in seconds.

@amasad I'd say it is extremely viral and easy to share, plus it built on the viral loops of previous OpenAI launches (DALL-E 2). User generated content (tweets) accounted for a huge part of its explosive growth. ChatGPT has a natural product-channel fit with Twitter(="fancy marketing"?)

ChatGPT: No landing page or fancy marketing. Hard to pronounce name. No sharing or viral features. Yet dominated the internet because it's an amazing product.

@elonmusk AppGratis was banned by Apple in 2013 and had to shut down shortly after raising $13M. Apple subsequently built an identical product after they claimed AppGratis was breaking app store rules (“App of the Day”) venturebeat.com/business/apple…

Who else has Apple censored?
