Feels a bit wild, but I'm really freaking excited and grateful to be on Deep Dive with Ridd.
These new tools have changed how I create and have helped me in unbelievable ways. I get so fired up taking about AI and design.
Ridd is also an incredible interviewer!
Ridd 🤿@ridd_design
what does it look like to be an AI-native designer today? @krispuckett is a great example imo so today's episode is all about his journey building his ideas and pushing the limits of how this tech can shape every aspect of his life it's a good one 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=nPyxVM…

@jackfriks Have had the OG Studio Display for years and it’s never really bothered me. For day to day work stuff I think the PPI and general display quality has made so much more of a difference, it’s great
English
apparently 60hz is less of a big deal on apple to apple setup cause the way pixels scale at 5k resolution? anyone can confirm it feels good or shit?
jack friks@jackfriks
i really thought deep and hard and almost worked up enough courage to spend a stupid amount of money on an apple studio display only to realize it’s 60hz 😹😹😹😹😹…

@vladgeorgescu @brian_lovin I have a regular Studio Display so the bezels wouldn’t bother me. The rotation thing is why I always vesa mount!!
English
@ow @brian_lovin The main letdowns of the xdr imo are the massive bezels and the stand not supporting rotation. A lot of people don’t like the size but I don’t mind it.
English
Has anyone picked this up?
Seems like a great deal for slightly more than the Studio Display and a lot less than the XDR (which I don’t need, but of course the heart yearns)
English
@ow Damn, I have been wanting to build just the manual part of this for the home! Never thought of the receipt or photo angle!
English
it’s actually nuts how good AI has gotten at writing code
i always lose receipts, so I wanted a tool to track them + manuals, especially for large purchases
started playing… 36 hours later I have a solid backend and a decent native iOS app(!!) already. it extracts info from receipts with an LLM, grabs the PDF of the manual + a nice product photo from the internet and takes care of it all. ✨
just crazy how fast you can just make things real end-to-end now.
English
@warpling ya i started with manual and then i was like WAIT THERE'S A BETTER WAY NOW
English
@tharshan_09 This is useful for warranty stuff! I have been burnt one too many times
English
@JayWang Ya this occurred to me as I was going! I def don’t have a proper list since it’s a pain to maintain but this makes it sooo easy
English
@ow good stuff!!
another use case:
cataloging big ticket items (as part of your home insurance) ... handy to have if you ever need to make a claim
English
@henrycooke So it’s pretty much what you expect - using the API. I use Sonnet 4.6 and the pricing has been surprisingly affordable—put in $5 and still haven’t blown through it! Each image seems to be a cent or two. You can put a limit on the spend too for peace of mind.
English
@ow what do you use as the LLM to extract the data? i have built a basic little assistant app for myself using claude code but as it does not actually call on an LLM itself the natural language processing is a bit spotty. have you found something good to use that is relatively cheap
English
@anthonybs @_buggles The core app (Laravel/React) was built with Claude Code initially, though I switched to Codex partway through for higher complexity tasks.
The iOS app I started with Super App then switched back to Claude Code once I had the basics in place. Seemed to work really nicely!
English
@JuanVisbalCo I couldn't find any apps that had 1) the same features 2) looked nice enough for my standards so made something that works for my flow. before this the choice was use what was there or don't 🤷♀️
English
Where does the idea come from that your quick, vibe-coded project is superior to the hundreds of existing apps, including indie ones?
It's even more insulting to the developers whose code the AI was trained on.

@evanyi_81 Ya before I would’ve probably made like 10% of it, tried to learn swift, then given up lol
English
@gilgNYC At first i was just making for me but now i sorta want to ship haha
English
@kevintwohy Ya that was my thinking. I’m always googling some random car seat manual over and over so why not just save my stuff lol
English
@ow Very cool. Great for appliances and such too even without a receipt - “house manual”
English
@ow Devs in ex-team needed an external lib for this, licensing cost several thousands of dollars a year - and then the result was still pretty horrible
English
@y_molodtsov Half the reason I decided to do this lol. But I do think the truth is that building a scale is very hard vs for one
English
@ow Raises even more questions on why so much of the software we use daily is so terrible.
