Hello! Today we're releasing Paper Desktop Paper is now a canvas for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex. Any agent can read and write html to Paper. • push or pull from your codebase • pull real data from anywhere • less work, more design What will you ship? Sound on 🎶

@anainsomnia love this!

@praveenisomer nice one!

Getting the new brand assets ready...

@vamsibatchuk Alex is 🐐

@stephenhaney ooh love technical yet beautifully crafted deep dive posts !!

new account to follow just dropped

@alexharri_ @paper Quickest follow button smash ever

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!

@callmejohnnie @agusegui You know it! Perks of the job :D

@stephenhaney Working with the talented @agusegui?

we're opening two new senior roles in design and engineering at Paper details inside Vlad's article

@oliverhamrin Right??

@stephenhaney Woah

@uialexk 🩵 yes fully remote! instructions at the bottom of Vlad's article

@stephenhaney Fully remote? 🌐

@vladmoroz Come work with us on Paper!

@raveeshbhalla @paper @figma 💯 comments are super close, in final release stages now. And agents can see comments, which is really useful

@stephenhaney @paper @figma Already did! Used it occasionally a few times and was picking it back up for a random prototype. Big fan of - I know components is on the roadmap and can’t wait for that. Also would love to have comments too: would love to drop comments for myself/my agent/others

This is how @paper wins over @figma

@jmsbaduor @paper totally, this is a great way to visually think through your html structure and layout settings

I am always encouraged to continually push the limit of what I can do and "how fast I can do it right" New workflow: use @paper to setup the HTML structure - yes, paper design is basically HTML, then send it to code, then bring it back to iterate if you need to

@jenny_wen @cursor_ai whoa congrats on all! I use cursor every day, excited to see what you build!

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!

@anainsomnia This is insane 🤩

@panthshah_ @harcourttt @eve_bouff @paper Glorious

Inspired by @eve_bouff prototype Reserve your next galaxy device today at samsung.com I have used @paper shaders.

@grimcodes so sick, nice job

introducing dither-kit a library of gorgeous dithered charts built from the ground up, no dependencies, they're built on top of a tiny <canvas> engine install it today at tripwire.sh/dither-kit

@yidxte @paper not at the moment, because Paper lets you design in html/css we turn your work into an image before feeding into a shader. But we have some new stuff on the way soon that will make it possible :)

@stephenhaney @paper oh nice, it works. is there a way to keep it updating live?

@paper @stephenhaney why can’t I apply shaders to frames or text? It’s kind of frustrating...

@eve_bouff @ycombinator @aaron_epstein I also love this use of the dithering shader

@stephenhaney @ycombinator @aaron_epstein “so i love paper and my claude loves paper and we both love paper and we live in paper”

AI isn't just changing the tools designers use. It's changing the way they think, prototype, and build. In this episode of Design Review, YC Head of Design @eve_bouff joins @aaron_epstein to share the AI-first workflow she uses to design products, websites, and events. Using projects like Paxel, @sotazine, and YC Startup School as examples, she explains how coding agents are transforming everything from rapid prototyping and branding to design systems, and why the biggest bottleneck is no longer software. It's imagination. 00:00 - Eve's AI-First Design Workflow 01:27 - Why She Designs With Her Voice 03:44 - Paxel: Spotify Wrapped for Coding Sessions 07:13 - Building Tools for Yourself 11:01 - Turning Coding Transcripts Into Feedback 12:53 - The Story Behind SOTA Zine 16:57 - Designing With Context, Not Prompts 21:07 - How to Get Better AI Design Outputs 23:20 - Building an Interactive Map of San Francisco 25:17 - Behind Startup School's Visual Identity 29:59 - The Future of Design
