Posting the new Brukas word mark I realize that it is past due to share an updated demo of the alpha/beta. A bunch of clean up over the past few weeks after great feedback from a few early testers. Still more to come! But we are approaching GA quickly! (still some bugs you can see in there but if you want to join the alpha/beta let me know!)

we're opening up a few slots to test the latest version of Onlook • rapidly design and iterate on top of your real codebase • export changes back to your code • feel the creative power coursing through your veins reply if you're interested or slide into the DMs

@mamuso @cursor_ai Congrats @mamuso! So many big moves around Cursor!

Excited to share I've joined @cursor_ai! One thing that stood out to me was how much this design team cares about building excellent products. Looking forward to contributing and learning from everyone here.

RT @doctorbaytas: this is indeed one of the dark arts you must study as a designer it cannot be learned by doing you have to learn this f…

@MengTo Happy birthday! I just turned 40 and so much of this resonates with me too. Not the same travel sadly but the possibilities we have are amazing.

Turning 44 today. Yep, the perfect iOS button size. I know I'm a geek, but that's what makes me human. AI can amplify that, but it can't replace it. A few things I've realized: - I've never enjoyed work more. - I spend way more time with my kids. - My agents handle the work I hate. - Agents are upgrading from assistants to managers and advisors. They have subagents. I'm becoming an architect of agents. Like in The Matrix. - I can finally be productive while traveling in Japan. Taxi rides, long lines, awkwardly waiting for stuff... I just talk to Codex via my iPhone. - I can build design tools I could only dream of before. It often starts with a single open-ended prompt, then my agents explore ideas, spawn the best into threads, self-verify, and bring me screenshots and videos to review. - Design is still my moat. Every place I've lived, every button I've pressed, every mistake, every failure, every win has shaped how I see the world. Agents can't manufacture that perspective. - Intuition is still my biggest advantage. It lets me make thousands of decisions effortlessly and keeps my agents unblocked. - My team is more independent than ever. They're building their own tools, growing their own YouTube channels and X accounts, and running fleets of agents. They'll surpass me one day, and I'll know I did my job. - Everything is moving insanely fast. Instead of trying to keep up, I ask my agents to learn it first, then teach me. It feels like Neo downloading kung fu. Having the time of my life.

@reneerud @alexharri_ @paper Well I tried, but maybe it's the late hour at this point. I think I need Claude or ChatGPT to give me the Neil DeGrasse Tyson + Star Talk version in the morning. Super cool, and it tells me graphic design school many years ago was a good choice. :D

@seansmithbuilds @alexharri_ @paper This is a fun one, @alexharri_, thanks! And you’ve got this @seansmithbuilds 🥷

Hello! It's about time I started posting here. I'm Alex Harri. I write technical posts -- typically deep dives -- on alexharri.com. I joined @paper recently. I built their pen tool; lots more in the works. Excited to share behind-the-scenes videos and ideas here!

@hellosprice Not a professional interior designer at all, but I would say it is too big for the space. If it was 25-50% smaller it wouldn't be something to hit your head on.

Need your honest opinions. My hubby thinks this lantern lights terrible. I like it. Help us.

@ridd_design I will say that I have been using Avec on iOS & have enjoyed that too. The voice dictation and classification is pretty clean. Looking forward to their Mac app.

@ridd_design I was partially waiting to see if anyone said Outlook... you should be able to all of that and more. Can't say it is perfect, but I did work on mobile & mac for a bit and it improved over the years. I wil also say I prefer the native apps vs web. 😊

what are the cool kids using for email right now? some things I care about a lot: - universal inbox across {n} accounts - aliasing - screening addresses in/out not trying to renew my Hey subscription ideally but no clear alternative

So what is everyone setting their iOS 27 glass slider too? 🤔 Glider?

@alexharri_ @paper Thanks @alexharri_ we shall see if my brain can actually figure it out. Maybe 😂

@seansmithbuilds @paper Hehe, it doesn't make much sense out of context. It's from this post on planes: alexharri.com/blog/planes You can find this specific example under the chapter on "Plane-plane intersection"

@avec ha, to each their own.

@joshpuckett @maiab Maybe the Design and the Why is the bottleneck vs a specific role since they are blending more everyday.

i think it's shifted to design.* much of the coordination responsibilities of the product management function are rapidly dwindling, but 'what should we build' is still the key question. *historically, I think PMs in tech took a lot of the responsibility for the design of a product, despite having teammates with the title "Designer"

for the entire lifetime of the tech industry, engineering has been the bottleneck overnight, the bottleneck has abruptly shifted to product management and now everyone is left grappling with how to adapt

@jenny_wen @falcone_design @cursor_ai Congrats!

ok! quick updates from me: - i left anthropic (who does that?!) - had a baby (i love her) - and am joining @cursor_ai as head of design (eep!) it's been a low-key dream of mine to nurture a team that cares so deeply about craft, quality, and building great tools. very excited!

I just solved the biggest problem of agentic video: giving feedback. Introducing Flask: the feedback layer of agentic video. Try it at flask.do or copy the prompt below..

i often think about this…

@pablostanley Just needs some more coffee cups there too. 😂
