@mwseibel @AaQq85890411 France’s framework is pretty good. - Political ads are banned. - Campaign donations are capped to 4.6k per person. - Total campaign spending is capped (16.8m for first round and 22.5m for second). - Lobbying must be disclosed and financial contributions are prohibited.

@AaQq85890411 I don’t know practically how you do this. When some many people have an interest in the rules of society I don’t think you can effectively prevent people from trying to influence those rules. Has any country succeeded at what you are trying to accomplish?

so remove the problem that causes all of this. End political lobbying, end political donations beyond $100 per person, make working in congress attractive by doubling everyone's salary.

@gokulr I feel like we have a different definition of product design. Making mockups is like 30% of the job. The most important part is identifying problems and figuring out creative solutions. The PM and PrD scopes have always overlapped. Plus, the bar is higher than ever for UI.

DESIGN: THE FIRST AI CASUALTY I'm increasingly sure that 2026 signals the end of product design as a full-fledged stand-alone function within companies. If so, it will be the first role / function to be eliminated by AI on a go-forward basis. Instead of hiring FT designers, startups are hiring / will hire design consultants to create a design system that the founder likes (this takes a few weeks max). Once the design system is finalized, PM/Eng feed it into their AI tool of choice to generate prototypes. The design system is refreshed annually by the same consultant. Larger companies will likely not backfill design roles and will do some targeted attrition to reduce the design department to 20% the size it is today. If you're a designer, I think you have two choices: 1. Become an entrepreneur: Start a design agency and become the go-to resource for design systems for startups and even larger companies. This can be a good recurring revenue business. 2. Become a builder: Add PM/Eng responsibilities to become a product builder. Would suggest you embrace this proactively vs waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm really sorry about this - some of my best friends and the people I admire most and have learnt the most from are designers - but it seems inevitable.

@gabe__perez Tbh same with GPT models. But I'm not sure I have the skills / I don't use those models... I'd love to collab with someone technical on this. I think i'd be super cool if it also worked with Claude Desktop app & IDEs (like VS code & co).

@vecartier please add gemini and cursor support to cc-beeper 🥺

@itskasturiii It’s because at the end of the day it’s not a tool for designers, it’s made by and for people who can’t design

the issue with Claude design is that it’s not a canvas. might be a skill issue but my visual thinking is faster than my ability to translate it into words. until i can move things around in a canvas, i’m not leaving Figma. i don’t want to prompt every change when i already know what i’m trying to do

CC-BEEPER: A floating macOS pager for Claude Code by @vecartier producthunt.com/products/cc-be…

@javaeeeee1 Thanks for the repost !

@SIGKITTEN Kinda made something like this last week-end for Claude Code in the terminal. Not hardware yet, just a floating widget for now. github.com/vecartier/cc-b…

the new claude app has a "hardware buddy" feature

@beknabdik Yeah I had to dig a bit before landing this. Got inspired and forked some cool projets like FluidVoice

@vecartier smart combo. kokoro + whisperkit for local is fast. curious how it handles accented speech — thats where on-device stt usually drops off vs cloud

I use Claude Code every day but I keep getting distracted by other stuff. Come back 20 minutes later and it's been waiting for a permission or finished ages ago. So I vibe coded a little pager that floats on my desktop that tells me when Claude needs me and lets me answer...

The whole thing is vibe coded with Claude Code. First open source project, probably imperfect in every way, but I use it a lot and wanted to share it. Not affiliated with Anthropic. but got inspired by the community. cc @trq212 @_catwu @jenny_wen

Technical bits if you're curious: - Pure Swift + SwiftUI, zero external dependencies - IPC via local HTTP server (NWListener) receiving hook events from Claude Code - On-device STT (WhisperKit + Apple Speech) and TTS (Kokoro + Apple) - Everything runs locally

@lydiahallie I've just realised that whenever I use extended thinking, even once or twice (in claude, not claude code). It torpedoes my usage. Might be worth a look

Update: still working on this. It's the top priority for the team, I know this is blocking a lot of you. More as soon as we have it.

We're aware people are hitting usage limits in Claude Code way faster than expected. Actively investigating, will share more when we have an update!

@felixleezd Please, I need it so much!

Designers, if you're starting vibe coding or build this new year, I want to gift one of you a 3-month subscription of Claude Pro to support. <3 Just drop a comment below. Happy New Year!

@rork Interested to try it !

Rork is the easiest way to use Claude Code with Opus 4.5 to build real mobile apps, publish to App Store in 3 clicks and start making revenue Reply to get a free 25$ subscription. Ends tomorrow!

@businessbarista Claude

I want to start a community dedicated to Claude Code. It’s become the gateway drug to coding and experiencing the power of AI for tons of people. This will be a space for people to share killer use cases, agentic workflows, proven prompts, and connect with other CC obsessives. Comment “Claude” if you want to join.

Changing the order of the tabs in the Google search results and putting AI Mode in front is some master mind evil stuff Misclicked it about 20 times in the last 24h, i'm going crazy

@david_attisaas How much upfront money is needed to get the engine going and maintain cashflow when you start with ads?

this 1.5 month payout delay is really annoying indeed. it protects the users though who can ask for a refund at any moment... even a month or so later and for the upfront needed cash if you're not from usa or similar, it it's hard to get a bank credit line for that. another solution could be finding an investor or asking family/friends. saul isn't the first person facing this need for cash issue and won't be the last one. others from outside the usa have figured it out and found a solution to make it work. 2/ I assume the content that worked with paid ads could work as organic content though provided the content isn't too salesy.

@GabLattanzio Let's go, il faut lancer un mouvement maintenant

Je n'ai pas raconté mes messages privés reçus depuis un mois, mais pour mille super sympas à qui je n'ai pas pu répondre (merci 🫠), il y en a eu 50 d'insultes de la part de LFIstes avec le procès habituel en "fausse gauche". Je vais vous dire pourquoi ça me glisse dessus et pourquoi tout le monde devrait les ignorer quand ils excommunient. Voici ce à quoi ressemblerait un procès en étiquette à leur égard. Chikirou était prestataire du sarkozysme. Guiraud et Hassan ont grandi avec le Soralisme. Pendant que je faisais ma part pendant le mouvement CPE 2006, Léaument défendait Bayrou. Coquerel était chez les souverainistes post-socialistes. Taché était député macroniste. Tout un tas de leurs têtes de liste locales et de co-organisateurs de manifs étaient et sont encore des militants religieux. Mélenchon 2025 traiterait de raciste Mélenchon 2021. Mélenchon 1991 était rocardien (apparté : qu'a-t-il retenu ?). La campagne LFI 2017 refusait de parler de gauche et de classe, pour leur préférer une coloration full cocorico et peuple. Enfin et surtout, il n'y a rien de plus réactionnaire que de faire le jeu de Poutine et Tebboune. Les mélenchonistes n'ont pas à privatiser la gauche. Et si le PS faisait mieux que réfléchir à l'intérêt électoral immédiat, ils feraient mieux que de se positionner face à eux comme la lune face à la Terre. Quand la gauche se reconstruira et fera mieux que 26%, elle le fera avec deux paramètres centraux : comprendre que les prestations ne doivent pas étouffer les services publics, et que la jeunesse ne doit plus souffrir d'une redistribution où l'avenir subventionne le passé. Alors, que chacun se sente bien libre de son positionnement à la lumière des circonstances. Je ne retire pas aux leaders de LFI leur droit à l'autocritique, mais eux-mêmes interdisent a d'autres ce qu'ils s'autoriseront toujours par démogagie électoraliste. Les procès en étiquette ne servent qu'à filtrer pour ne garder que les perroquets en s'interdisant de débattre. C'est comme cela aussi qu'ils s'en prennent à la culture démocratique dont nous avons tous besoin.
