We are screwed. Nano Banana Pro can recreate literally everything. I prompted my way to the behind the scenes from iconic moments, and it was very simple. Attaching some of the best in a thread 🧵

such a pleasure to have helped shape the brand behind @cesto_co Huge congrats @jasonrodrigues @viralsangani_ 🎉 said it from day one, you’re building something truly special. 🧺

@laforge451 this looks fantastic 😍

This is what I'm working on. A canvas to stack image filters to create your unique style. Apply custom filters to create your unique style. Save your custom style as .md and apply it to any image.

@jasonrodrigues countertrade x trends could be a @cesto_co basket 🤣

@shoolian absolutely, if anything on the contrary, value just went up

definitely my experience too: “The conversations happening here are not representative of how design actually works, how businesses actually hire, or what clients actually value. 99.9% of what you read here on X is complete and utter bullshit.”

@coinbase brilliant piece 👑

The game only changes when you do. This is your way out of their system.

Thank you Jason! I started with some of the references I already had saved elsewhere. Now I keep adding new ones I want to pin over time, mainly via Telegram or Discover. I could also run a large scrape and add thousands at once, but that would defeat the purpose of staying very familiar with all the collection.

@shoolian Brilliant, how do you get it to index initially? And then on an ongoing basis?

I built my dream video reference tool with Claude Code in 2 days. For years I've been collecting cool videos across twitter bookmarks, browser favs, slack and telegram messages to myself, note apps, and whatnot. None of it was searchable. None of it was organized. Most of it was lost. So I took a weekend to build something for me ↓

@laforge451 hahahah ads free!

@shoolian Shooliantube love it

So, recap: - URL paste → auto-populated metadata + AI analysis - 1–5 color-coded ratings (red to green) - Filter by medium, era, tags, industry - Drag-and-drop folder organization - Keyboard navigation + hover autoplay - Personal notes with auto-save - Duplicate detection - Multi-platform support - Twitter video proxy (their embeds are blocked) - AI-powered web + X discovery - Auto-suggested discoveries - Telegram bot for mobile capture - Pin auth - Next.js + Turso + Tailwind on Vercel And doing this was tons of fun. Long on Claude Code for creative workflows.

This is my fav piece: the add-a-vid-from-anywhere part. If I see a great video while not in my computer, I can send the URL to a Telegram bot. It queues up in the web app with metadata already fetched. I can process the queue next time I'm on desktop. The whole thing is deployed and PIN-protected. Single-user, but actually live, not just localhost.

@dApp_boi this is slowly becoming true for bigger orgs too

Convinced the startup world is condensing into only requiring two roles: — Builder (make the thing) — Storyteller (bring attention to the thing)

i’m going to hide that ai wrote this by removing em dashes, making everything lowercase, and even keeping the i small even if my phone tries to fix it. surely, no one will see what i did.

@franklyteddy @claudeai anytime 🤍

@shoolian @claudeai We will need to collab to push it to the limits ❤️

You can now push what you’re building in Claude Code directly into Figma. With the latest updates to the Figma MCP server, build a working prototype in code, then send it to a Figma canvas to explore multiple versions.

@franklyteddy @claudeai hahah wow haven’t seen this! huuuge. if it works both ways (code to figma and figma back to code) you can keep design fidelity through figma, which isn’t trivial at mid/large scale. I’m assuming it does but I’ll test it soon. Already looks dope 🫡

@claudeai I need the king’s opinion. @shoolian what’s the move boss?

@editormarv truly a superpower

It crazy how Motion design is combination graphic design, UI design, video editing, and sound design. you need to know all 4
