I design instruments for thinking by hand. https://t.co/vgXYGgd1kD | design - https://t.co/4rP2yLafKd




Your best ideas don’t come when you’re working. They show up: • In the shower • On walks • Half-asleep That’s not a flaw. It’s a clue. 👇

I’m 100 percent convinced the Art Deco design of Hoover Dam is America’s greatest ever public project and we’ll probably never come close again







I’m saying this with love, but @figma needs to start moving. I know they have “growth and revenue” but it’s not going to last. I use it, but every day it feels more limiting, not empowering. They try to ride on “creativity tool”, but it’s a losing strategy. People don’t like to pay for “creativity”, but they appreciate the “creativity” in the process. (I’ve been selling “creativity” for the past 20 years) Instead of trying to catch up with @Lovable and @Replit , they need to row in opposite direction and become a “visual language of the process”. Without this shift to their product strategy, they will keep losing to upcoming competitors, who are catching up very fast. Seemless handoff, better and faster search, more ways to organize and present design — infrastructure nobody else owns. Literally every PM I know complains how it’s impossible to find designs after some time. No, pages with emojis don’t help, thanks. Instead they’re chasing Lovable with vector paintbrushes that became out-trended within a week. Figma have to understand that their main competitor is @linear , not website building tools. Right now, everyone loses: designers, PMs, companies, the Figma team, and their investors.

another cool addition to openeditor.ai = debugging mode, useful for inspecting specific elements and also console log per frame



@DamiDina @skirano Design <> code canvas. Really smart on canvas AI-generated design. And they’re constantly coding. They did it all before paper / Figma.



@LivingPixelated What’s good about magic path?

Dreaming in the Language of Design - What I really want is a creative tool where I can seed/specify design patterns. I want a design canvas that can automate the states / variations / layouts / component naming / tokens. Then I want to craft compositions, lean in to the most used surfaces, craft exquisite details, interactions, motion studies, new components - the fabric of the interface. I want to specify the Design Language and derive the Design System. I want to put all the love into what differentiates the product. And I want AI to take care of the rest. I don't need an LLM, I need a finite DLM - Design Language Model.
