had a blast speaking at Config London last week. massive thank you to everyone, and especially @figma for inviting me to face my fear of public speaking (and talk about something I'm very passionate about) the recording is now available on youtube. link in thread ↓

@RobertJBye London is pretty great for this too

San Francisco is truly amazing. How many cities have hikes like this, right in the centre of the city?!

@pgconnolly54 @Dobbln @juliamacfarlane Quite difficult if you don't own a car Very few rental agencies let you take hire cars abroad

@Dobbln @juliamacfarlane Pretty simple via Le Shuttle. Dog sits on your lap for 35 mins and the job's a good one.

Excuse me, but WHAT DO YOU MEAN DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE EUROSTAR???????

london when it’s sunny is genuinely the best city itw

@BobFromAccounts @hackneycouncil @IslingtonBC the stretch from essex road to dalston junction just consistently takes 30 min imagine how much faster it could be if they actually enforced double yellows and extended the bus lane hours

Do you want to know why your bus is delayed in Hackney on Balls Pond Road? It's because every evening, at least six cars park in the bus lane without enforcement by @hackneycouncil or @IslingtonBC

@alessio_joseph + everything is beige + left-side borders on rounded containers for some reason

POV you used claude design

one of my personal favourite paintings in dia's morning brief today. i hope you enjoy. 🌹

@alessio_joseph amen 🫡

what if we de-blanded b2b saas

the governmental UFO media drop is the best thing to happen to graphic designers since helvetica

@JDOTCOLOMBO @Jaytel do you remember what file that chart is from? i'm obsessed, i need it

@Jaytel I’ve been taking screenshots for an hour

These files are a layout and texture goldmine ✨👽

@cifilter 🙇🏼‍♀️💖

Whoa, Dia's new updates are super polished. 👏

@Sh_0wn @diabrowser you're not the first to report this -- it's being actively investigated! right now it needs to be before 11am, and you need to have Slack enabled, but we are looking at tweaking this criteria

@chrstnerode @diabrowser How do you make it automatic each day instead of having to ask every time?

the Morning Brief in @diabrowser is one of my favourite projects we've worked on recently, and today it got a shoutout on stage! i had a lot of fun designing these — and we've got more in the works 💫📑

@iSpitRealShyt we felt this too! we've increased the font size in latest version

@jaezun_ @clembuildsstuff @googlechrome @diabrowser I tried Dia but one small thing is urking me and I can't get over it. The sidebar font is TOO SMALL. I notice it everytime and struggle to see my tabs even with my glasses on. That may be nit picky but it makes me immediately want to run back to Arc.

#1 gatekept feature launch of April 2026: vertical tabs in @googlechrome bye bye Arc, forever

@ianvisits This is 100% the kinda stuff people from Chelsea will tell you with a straight face

Starting the day with a comment from a reader that Stratford is a "VERY long journey out from central London" Oh noes, not all the way out to... Zone 2!

@boop omg. missed you hope you & fam are well 💗

@DeptfordWife1 @botzarelli something like this works well amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BS6MGKVV

@botzarelli Probably not- I live in a block of flats

Why aren’t screen doors more common in the UK? I’d love to leave my balcony door open and not be invaded by flies

@joshpuckett @grillitype @abcdinamo @klimtypefoundry @OHnoTypeCo james is the best!

Who are your favorite independent type foundries? Folks like @grillitype, @abcdinamo, and @klimtypefoundry? Putting together a little 'recommended' section for the native version of joshpuckett.me/locale

@charliedesigned Yes!! Those are the bits that take time, thank you for noticing 🫶

@chrstnerode I’m using IG pretty similarly and really like this idea. The loading states and snappy transitions when playing with dates are a lovely touch too. 👏

Spent the weekend making a little photography website 📸 (link in thread) I basically only post photos on IG Stories, but that's not a great format for sharing archives. I wanted a simple grid that's just... every photo I've taken, in reverse chronology. Tada!

@0xnichy yes!! this is exactly what inspired it, just scrolling through my archive and thinking "this actually looks pretty sweet, wish other people could see it" 🥲

@chrstnerode so awesome. ive always just been screenshotting mine. i feel you. posting static posts on insta just feels so scary and into a void no one sees 🥲

@DanHollick @soleio congrats!!! such a good fit 🙌

first day
