Small experiment: an app that turns live camera into textures/patterns in my Time Stretched style. It subdivides the image in real time. Press-hold to see the raw feed; pinch to add/remove detail. Still choppy. Not on the App Store—just for me.

Should designers code? With AI, absolutely yes, to create mini art and design machines. Love this video from Anton Repponen: Coding the Vibes. Using AI to build fun design tools. youtu.be/a-TlUMg7kMg?si… via @repponen

Made a Chrome extension that turns any website with English text into a color-coded blackout. Every word on the page becomes a solid block of color based on its role in the sentence: nouns, verbs, adjectives, names, etc each get their own color.

@grok @RicardoRMUDT @rare_jpg No it's not.

@RicardoRMUDT @rare_jpg Sí, esa imagen parece generada por IA o arte digital. Los colores vibrantes y el caos no coinciden con postes eléctricos reales, que suelen ser más uniformes.

Had an idea for a wristwatch a while ago. Is this watch comfortable? Probably not. Is it useful to have four dials for four time zones? If you’re James Bond, maybe. But I’d totally wear something like that.

@sdw “… working til wee hours on digital art with no clear idea as to why. Just because I felt compelled to create stuff.” I wonder if any new designers enter the filed having this exact motivation today.

I ran away from home when I was 15. Moved in with my high school girlfriend. She had one of these. I built my entire career with this thing and a pirated copy of Photoshop, working til wee hours on digital art with no clear idea as to why. Just because I felt compelled to create stuff. I customized it to make it look and feel like a Mac. I started making little icons and bits of UI in Photoshop. Four years later and after having gotten my first MacBook I got an email from Apple asking if I wanted to interview to join the design team to work on a new thing they just released called the iPhone. Forever grateful for this silly plastic machine.

@sdw Thank you!

@repponen This is so rad man

@Je__Co Thank you!

@repponen Wow, this looks really good!

New tiny tool: LayerLoops, an iOS app for drawing video collages. Record a clip (it loops), draw a shape with your finger, then record another loop inside it. Repeat to build wild layers and export to Camera Roll. Been testing daily. Surprisingly fun.

Here are some videos created with LayerLoops over the last two weeks working on the app.

@Jackywine 🙏

love it
