Just finished creating a timelapse of 1.3 million trades lighting up India during Muhurat Trading 2024 on Groww! 🌟 Would love to hear your thoughts! 😊 Check out the interactive experience here: muhurattrading.vercel.app #DataViz #Diwali2024 #groww #d3js

@DilumSanjaya supercool!

Been thinking about sharing some fun, interactive science app ideas Made this one today UI design and planet textures GPT Images 2 Code Gemini 3.1 Pro

Crazy weekend with 61k bike followed by tcs10k

@RiseBharata It's a pressure map, not temperature!

India Is Hotter Than Africa Right Now.

@danywander @claudeai all day, every day

me and @claudeai

@kushsolitary I'll have to check the exact model number in office next time

@tkartik_me which display is that? ❤️

Designing in 2026

Much cleaner

@hckmstrrahul aligned.

@tkartik_me its our job to continue these so that they stay alive 🤷‍♂️

I sometimes wonder if the symbolism and metaphors we use in the UI are even accessible for the newer generations like scratch cards and 📞 symbol for calls 🤔 Great interaction tho!!

Looking to follow more design talent. Share your best work below.

when software had a soul there was a moment around 2005 when using a Mac felt like touching something alive. the dock bounced. the genie effect swooped. exposé scattered your windows like cards on a table. none of it was strictly necessary. all of it felt like someone cared – not about metrics, but about the feeling of using a machine. software back then had texture. it had a philosophy. you could feel the person behind it. someone made a decision to make that icon beautiful, to animate that transition just so, to write that error message with a little warmth. apps had personalities. some were weird. some were over-designed in ways that would make a modern PM flinch. but they were alive. the web was the same. personal sites were genuinely personal. blogs felt like letters. forums had regulars. you knew who made what. the internet had neighborhoods, and each one felt different. nothing was optimized for scale. things were made by people who loved what they were making. somewhere along the way, we traded all of that for growth. A/B tests flattened the edges. design systems standardized the personality out. everything got faster, smoother, more consistent – and somehow less interesting. the quirks were removed because they didn't test well. the warmth got cut because it wasn't measurable. we optimized our way into a world of things that work perfectly and feel like nothing. now every app looks the same. every interface follows the same patterns. every product speaks in the same calm, frictionless voice, siloed in their own little islands. the humanity got rounded off. and then came AI agents. and the speed got inhuman. now you can generate an entire product in an afternoon. ship a feature before lunch. spin up ten variations before anyone's had their coffee. the gap from idea to code is basically zero. which sounds incredible. and it is. but there's a catch. when making things are too easy, the slop comes for free too. mediocre things don't look obviously bad – they look fine. they work. they ship. they pass review. and now there are infinite of them. the internet is filling up with software that functions but means nothing. interfaces that are correct but feel dead. products made by agents, reviewed by no one, shipped into the void. this is the thing that keeps me up at night. not that AI will replace people who care. but that it will drown them out. here's what I still believe: the best things are made by people who couldn't help themselves. someone who lost sleep over an icon. who rewrote the same line of copy twelve times. who added an animation nobody asked for because it made the thing feel right. that obsession – that's not inefficiency. that's the whole point. AI doesn't make that irrelevant. it actually makes it rarer and more valuable. taste is not a markdown skill. caring is not a parameter. the weird, specific, "soul" thing you put into something – that can't be programmed into existence. the path forward isn't to make more slop faster. it's to finally give people with real vision the tools to make the thing they always imagined but couldn't build alone. the designer who had the idea but couldn't code. the kid who saw something nobody else saw. the person who cared too much about something most people wouldn't notice. if we get this right, we don't get a faster factory. we get a renaissance. more strange, personal, opinionated software made by teams of people who care and mean it. that's still possible. but only if the people who care get the space and tools to actually express themselves – and don't just hand the wheel to the agent and walk away.

Any suggestions for PCB manufacturer based in Bangalore??

@animeshsingh38 Hey thanks! I'm doing any circuitry for the first time, I'll definitely check it out.

@tkartik_me wait are you driving each segment individually? if yes you can consider some i2c modules.

That is a lot wires for a simple timer. 😅 But the prototype works. Onto making the case now 🚀

@eglyman x.com/tkartik_me/sta…

We only hire builders (and we’re on a hiring spree)! Reply with something you've built. I'll read them personally. We’re interviewing the best ones. You’ll be a good fit if you: - work best without permission - default to “how could I automate this” - had weird teenage hobbies - spend your sunday making side projects - have more Claude agents than cousins - shipped something this week - make prototypes, not powerpoints - don’t like hierarchy - are good at games: chess, monopoly, poker - would take dinner with Elon over $100k Good luck, Eric

@gonsalves_r is it available on any quickcom?

@marka_eth @steventey @vercel @threejs x.com/tkartik_me/sta…

@steventey @vercel @threejs can you give me some pointers on how to do this i have 2d (svg) characters i’d like to morph into their 3d (threejs) counterparts

This 2D → 3D map animation on @vercel's new CDN dashboard is absolutely magical ✨🤤

Published a framer component for this. You can now plug this in you project! framer.com/marketplace/co…

@SherifZaidan I do have the prompt for parsing the emails. You can DM

@tkartik_me any chance you have the prompts in a prompt repo?

ASCII art is the new Dither for this quarter?
