I have keep reminding myself to stop listening to guides or tutorials and just do when it comes to building, everyone is discovering things in real time anyway at this point...

AI-native UX What do apps look like when you design AI first? Starting a thread to collect some examples I've found.

When did iOS start converting inline? 👀

I think about this a lot

and expanded character set is also good 💪

I spent hours looking for the right font and all I was looking for was a geometric font with a round tittle 😂

@darynakulya @OpenPhone @mahyarraissi 🙌🏼

Today, @OpenPhone is truly living up to its name. I know what you're thinking—weren't you already OpenPhone? Well, here's a secret: Up until today, we were more like...ClosedPhone. 😅 Let me take you back 7 years to the day we named our company. We chose "OpenPhone" with a vision—a promise to ourselves and our future customers. But we had no idea it would take us 7 years to truly live up to that name. And today, we're officially launching our open API and a suite of features allowing businesses to really customize the way they communicate with their customers. And suddenly, that name feels more fitting than ever. It's like we've been wearing shoes that were slightly too big, and we've finally grown into them. Why does this matter so much? Because now, OpenPhone isn't just a name—it's a reality. ➝ Developers can build on top of our platform ➝ Businesses can truly customize their experience We have grown from a product you use to a platform you can build on. This launch isn't just a milestone for our product; it's a pivotal moment for us as founders too. As a founder, you have to keep falling in love with your product over and over again. It's what keeps you resilient, what prevents burnout. And let me tell you, this launch made me fall head over heels all over again. Honestly, I feel even more excited than I did on day 1. It's like we're back at the starting line, but this time with thousands of amazing customers cheering us on. It's day 1 of a whole new chapter. It's the moment we've truly become OpenPhone. To everyone who's been on this journey with us—thank you. To those just joining—welcome and buckle up. The real OpenPhone era begins now. Here's our launch landing page: openphone.com/fall-launch-24 (I'm biased but this is probably the best page we've ever shipped 🙂) ps — this photo was the first in my camera roll from when @mahyarraissi and I started working on OpenPhone together. Who needs project management tools when you have sticky notes?  😂

I'm getting tired of continuously typing questions into LLM's... Can someone create something that beams the questions into a chat box from my head please. K thx

Designed a built a minimal static blog generator using next.js and @cursor_ai at infocus.design in an afternoon. Lots of little things to tweak, but this gave me the confidence needed to figure out that I need to actually build a product when I can leverage ai like this

Another little Claude experiment... this one I might actually launch with something 🫡

This doggo is way cooler than all of us

@ElCaz Live and learn, all good 🙂

@vrtlakram Oof that's brutal!

I just learned the modular power supply cables are proprietary to each manufacturer… I also just burned an SSD Remind me not to tinker at 1am 😔

Off to make a portfolio I guess…

Been on a streak of side projects instead of focusing on career stuff and it’s been refreshing. I now need a job to maintain these new hobbies 😂

Hiding your brand under the notch is a cool little detail @tradingview 👌🏼
