What if you could turn your voice into a video game? (try it for yourself 👇)

This is why people are focused more on AI + manufacturing (aka coding). Including way too many designers. Creative work is hard to define, and deeply personal. The measurement for success isn't the output it is the work done in between.

Guess who's back? Back again. End of the school year edition.

The new mymind API is getting better everyday. I've seen some lovely things people built with it already. I'm convinced it will be the most useful and beautiful personal memory layer for anything going forward. Still in Private Beta currently, but I have some additional invites. If you're a mymind member and want to get access to the API, send me a DM and I will get you set up.

@vanschneider Just shot a DM your way 🤘

@hannah_hearth I'm already hearing commentary "well looks like the gentle part of their approach was lost after taking that last elbow"

@willking I want a limited series Parenting Olympics show in the style of the 90's hit: Supermarket Sweeps. Includes competitions from: - The bunny hill⛷️ - Airport security✈️ - Cooking with your toddlers🍳 The judges are 10 year olds.

An Olympic sport, but it's you trying to do stuff for your melting down toddler while driving.

Design Engineering Tip: Reduce backdrop blur while the user scrolls fast. Heavy blur during motion destroys perceived smoothness and increases GPU workload. Lowering blur dynamically keeps interfaces crisp while also improving performance. let t; const nav = document.querySelector(".navbar"); window.addEventListener("scroll", () => { nav. style.backdropFilter = "blur(8px)"; clearTimeout(t); t = setTimeout(() => { nav. style.backdropFilter = "blur(24px)"; }, 120); });

@jshguo Find new paths to wander.

Some days it really feels like the creative well is empty. I can still make things, but nothing feels fresh. How do you usually deal with that?

@saml_dev @samgoodwin89 So far! I am on the beta using the effect beta as well so there have been some sharp edges, but I love the mental model a lot.

@willking @samgoodwin89 I just discovered this tool a couple days ago. You like it?

Does this mean I am officially on the core team?

@beginbot What in the begin is this...?

there are few things more lovely than inviting friends over to share some luxurious algorithms, while enjoying some exotic arpeggios together.

Does this mean I am officially on the core team?

@ianzelbo @futureform_ @Tesla You're looking for @ermanmalak

My team at @Tesla is hiring a talented 3D generalist to help build the Tesla App! Looking for a strong portfolio of 3d art, experience with game engines, and an eye for design You’ll get to ship to real customers, build cool stuff, and work closely with me

@simonhamp @bradenkeith You get it 🤣

@bradenkeith @willking Just let it rip and refine

the fatigue of reading agent plans is real

Fun auto-migration name from today:

A lot of focus on what manufacturing/coding work harnesses are. I started building the harness for creative work.

@entrepeneur4lyf @joshcirre That's all that matters!

I built an entire social network focused on AI music producers and service that has HLS streaming (R2 CDN) and features from SoundCloud, Patreon, Discord and Facebook. I’m just working on some tools too incentivize membership. I made a badass lyric editor, song library, prompt builder and a super comprehensive Suno guide as well as a WebAudio “mastering” app but I’m finishing up a stem splitter and much better mastering tool and testing. I’ve got some bugs to fix as well and I’m not happy with the aesthetic. It’s kinda cartoony and dated. I might just use the theme I made for the DAW. Sounds kinda silly but I really LOVE IT! 🙃

You had no idea this was coming... I have a bit to go yet... probably 2-3 weeks worth of work yet since I am finishing up Nation X and my MixLens app.

@peduarte @raycast wking-io Let me in!

love to see so many ppl trying the new @raycast already ❤️ if you havent been invited yet reply with your raycast username

@entrepeneur4lyf @joshcirre That is so sick. It has got me into making music and finding so many new project ideas around that process.

That’s awesome! I’ve been planning this one since 2023… Opus reminded me last night when I asked it to search our chat history just to start a new chat. It’s been a great learning experience. I use Opus 4.6 in the desktop app to research and help me write specs. Over the weekend, I created my first model based on an MIT model and trained it to detect the neural codecs that the ai music generation models use. Tomorrow is my 57th birthday. Feeling pretty good today 😎
