pretty sure I was part of some early testing, I saw this about 2 weeks ago right before a partner meeting and I was positively amazed at the usefulness of the meeting. what not to do and what to focus on was 100% accurate and it helped us connect more with the partner.

This really is the best time to be a product designer.

Just built essenzasanitair.nl in 20 minutes with a 100 score on Performance, SEO, Best Practices and Accessibility, and the pages relevant to the audience are being indexed. Love the age of Claude Code + Cursor, curious if this will move leads generation for this business.

So excited to share that @Dessn_ai has raised $6m, led @pietrobezza , with participation from @betaworks , N49P, and a few other amazing partners and angels. @eminimnim and I started the company 2 years ago with one conviction: the future of product development wouldn’t happen in disconnected mockups or recreated environments. It would happen directly in production. Today, Dessn is the only product that enables an entire team to design and prototype directly in prod — visually, collaboratively, and in one click.

@stephenhaney was already a paying customer before, this will definitely speed up my workflow even more. in the process of migrating our whole website from Hubspot to Paper + Claude 🚀

75% of people can’t go 2 weeks without smartphone internet. Even when they volunteer for it. 467 people signed up to block mobile internet for 14 days. Motivated participants who actively wanted to change. Three out of four couldn’t do it. The researchers used a locked app called Freedom that made it physically impossible to re-enable the internet. Most people still found workarounds. Here’s what’s happening at the neurological level. Every phone check triggers a small dopamine release. 186 checks per day means 186 micro-doses of dopamine, one every 5 minutes, training your brain to expect stimulation at a frequency that makes sustained attention on any single task almost impossible. Your prefrontal cortex, the part responsible for deep focus and executive function, is getting interrupted before it can enter the state where real cognitive work happens. The 25% who made it through the full 2 weeks? Their sustained attention improved by the equivalent of reversing a decade of age-related cognitive decline. That’s a measurable, objective improvement on a validated attention task, not self-reported “I feel more focused.” 91% of all participants, including the ones who failed the full detox, still saw gains in mental health, well-being, or attentional capacity. Average screen time dropped from 5 hours to 2.5. They replaced that time with face-to-face interaction, movement, outdoor exposure, and 18 extra minutes of sleep per night. The reduction in depressive symptoms was larger than what multiple antidepressant studies have shown. The protocol insight here matters more than the willpower narrative. You cannot discipline yourself out of a product built by thousands of engineers optimizing for one variable: time on screen. The 25% who succeeded had a system that removed the choice. They didn’t resist the urge. They eliminated the option. Environment design drives the outcome. Partial detoxes produced nearly the same cognitive benefits as full ones, and participants were 4x more likely to sustain them. Charge the phone in a different room at night. Use app-level timers. Delete the 2-3 apps driving compulsive checks. Add friction between the impulse and the behavior. You need a higher activation energy between you and the screen.

@steipete @dee_bosa I fully understand but I feel like I have superpowers now and the team is constantly asking me for input because I have all my tools connected with read only APIs that openclaw can put together and act on for me. How do I share this superpower if not in a group chat?

@dee_bosa This is a good primer! Make sure to understand it's *your* agent. Don't put it in a group chat. docs.openclaw.ai/gateway/securi…

Mac mini arrives today as our new intern. Who can help me *safely* set this thing up? 🦞

@ARCHWIGERTON @atmoio This is very well written!

There is a lot of things you are touching on here. First off the feeling where you feel pulled to just keep using AI because it is just easy, is the ultimate goal of your brain. The human brain is fully wired to find efficiency and use less energy at its simplest level. You now have something that can get a desired results with a fraction of effort. A good comparative example is how no one knows anyone's phone number anymore. Your brain outsourced it to a device that has it. It doesn't have to remember those numbers anymore so it doesn't. Or why don't people go hunt their own food anymore. Some do and you certainly can but for most your brain doesn't even see it as an option anymore for obtaining calories. The other thing you are running into which you are not alone but among some of the first people effected, to truly experience it, is running into a questioning of purpose. On average most people have morphed their perceived purpose into their work and careers. Especially people who have really put in a large effort to get where they are. You know have something that is pulling that purpose into question. Who are you now if not a skilled software engineer? What does that even mean anymore?... Even if everything goes the most utopian route with AI eliminating the need to work to survive and we enter an age of abundance. This will be the single hardest struggle people will have; what is my purpose now?! For some it will be devastating others it will turn into something wonderful and freeing. Sadly you can stop using AI and try and get your skill and sense of accomplishment back but the spark being lit of questioning of purpose doesn't go away once ignited. The positive part though, if you can have the patience to sit with how uncomfortable it all is you can emerge on the other side in a much better position. That looks different for everyone but there is no lack of information out there to manage through it. A transition of losing purpose happens in many forms and has happened all through history. AI just happens to be accelerating and hitting something that will effect a greater amount of people. Maybe though this will help the world start to see that life and people's worth can be more than just the job you do and money you make. You're are not alone and there will be more and more people in this boat with you as the next few years pass. We are truly all in this together.

I was a 10x engineer. Now I'm useless.

@openclaw @claudeai @paper the only thing designers are now missing is seeing the entire website’s interaction design live; @paper is still static images, but it could theoretically do anything considering it’s html css and js under the hood and not vector like we’re used to.

My pipeline for developing landing pages: @openclaw gathers business context and specs, @claudeai works with @paper to design, build and deploy. edit in Paper if needed or add interactions with Claude Code. feed more data with Openclaw. 2026 is fun 🚀🚀🚀

ok I might have to retract that statement

Restored faith in NL seeing these election results

nothing to see here @browsercompany

@msllrs @jamesm Let’s go

@jamesm sign me up

Calling it now… harsh, dark borders on buttons and UI are making a comeback in 2026. 🌚

@meetgranola Works again!

hey @meetgranola I can't sign in! Website gives me "internal server error". Can you help?

designing a point of sale for ticketing in the leisure industry what should I do

@meetgranola good to know, thanks for the fast response!

Sorry for the trouble here. Sadly we're impacted by the widespread AWS outage, which means that Granola is also down. We're awaiting further updates from AWS and hope to back up and running soon - we'll provide updates at status.granola.ai and get back to you once we're confident this is resolved. Thanks for bearing with us!

@meetgranola quite a problem because I can't access my notes!
