@daniel__designs Happy birthday!!!

This is the Compare node. Two inputs, one decision. Easily toggle between versions and route the winner forward. Not dramatic, just honest. • Match two edits against each other • Contrast different model outputs • Test color-grades, lighting, and framing side-by-side 👉 Test it in Weavy: tinyurl.com/ywmsmv8e

@zoltanhosszu yeah it’s ok — too many chords and the rotations aren’t quite where I want them to be height wise, but it’s fine for now

@nlevin Did you try it? :)

Does anyone have any recommendations for office lighting your face for zoom calls? Hoping to not go as big as a ring light, maybe something subtle like this: humancentric.com/products/confe…

Prompts shouldn’t be static. Introducing Prompt Variables. A way to build prompts that adapt to your inputs. Think of it as a text compositor: drop dynamic variables directly into your prompt, reorder them with drag-and-drop, and create new ones instantly with an @ sign. It means a cleaner workflow, and a cleaner canvas. 👉 See it in action: tinyurl.com/yudhaznh

@daniel__designs Nice! You might also enjoy this where they’re trading cards 😀

I've been building a new app I'm calling Worldly, it teaches me about a new place in the world everyday and links to wikipedia if I want to learn more

No detaches. Just Slots.

@SlackHQ I might be alone in this, but I think it would be nice if you had those Gmail esque reminders for DMs of "3 days ago… follow up?", but would have to get the logic right to not over trigger either (e.g. inferring when a response was required vs the convo naturally ended)

Software Design is weird. It is undoubtedly the most impactful medium shaping the world today, yet even those of us working in it know very little of its history. We have no broadly-read books, no docu-series, no video essays. Most see the works of the past as obsolete rather than the rich heritage that has led us here. Every year, seminal works are lost to time accessible only in the memories of those who lived it. We're (re)building Software Design's most seminal moments one pixel at a time and sharing the stories behind the work straight from the designers themselves.

Design lead for Claude: The classic design process is dead. Here's what's replacing it. Jenny Wen (@jenny_wen) leads design for Claude at @AnthropicAI, was previously director of design at @Figma, and a designer at @Dropbox, @Square, and @Shopify. In our in-depth conversation, we discuss: 🔸 Why the classic discovery → mock → iterate design process is becoming obsolete 🔸 What a day in the life of a designer at Anthropic looks like, including her AI tool stack 🔸 Whether AI will eventually surpass humans in taste and judgment 🔸 Why Jenny left a director role at Figma to return to IC work 🔸 The three archetypes Jenny is hiring for now This conversation changed how I think about the future of design.

a lot of things are fast now. like—really fast. but i don’t think we’ve figured out when to be slow yet. it feels like that’s a new skill that’ll differentiate us as people, companies, and products. how we choose when to go slow.

@brian_lovin Congrats!! Huge launch!

Custom agents are here — Collaborative out of the box (build and share the best ones with a click). Connected to all of your tools including email and calendar (and uh...everything else, hang tight). Can run in the background on a schedule or trigger from any kind of external event. (I have a custom agent that I text my reminders/todos via iMessage). And it all lives inside of Notion, a beautiful home for your work. I'm so pumped about what this unlocks for every company and builder out there ❤️

@rogie Yessss. Best life decision. You will have no regrets. Also FYI Toto’s Costco model is great and half the price of similar models they sell on Amazon.
