@RasmusNielsen Just tried it! Enjoyed the style, had a few challenges. Where should I send feedback? (if you want it ;-)

I am building an app where you get a random film roll each day... Launching May 6. It's free. Pre-order now! rasmusnielsen.dk/roll

@RasmusNielsen Love the idea ❤️

@Lloyd 🖐️ Been doing this the manual way (voice record plus request summary later), curious to try something made for this + help digger deeper

I've been working on an app called Noodle. Noodle is a thinking partner. When I Noodle, I take a walk and jabber away about a topic - I "Noodle on it" - and Noodle helps me dig deeper with suggested topics. When I'm done, Noodle generates a summary and some ideas for next time. There's something nice about rambling away with no interruptions. It's almost meditative. I've tried voice-mode agents, but they interrupt, the turn-taking is annoying - I don't get into any kind of flow. I'm trying to do uninterrupted thinking-out-loud. I can talk and ramble and only get input from Noodle if I need it. Swipe up to get Noodle to expand on a specific topic suggestion. Swipe a topic left to see fewer suggestions like that, and right to tell Noodle that was a good suggestion. It quickly catches on. AI certainly has the potential to make us lazier. But I'm hoping something like Noodle can make us smarter, help us explore more of the ideas we have, and ultimately think more clearly. It certainly helps me. Still plenty to refine, but Noodle is ready for some TestFlight users. So hit me up if you've got a stack of things to Noodle on!

@LukeW Interesting! I always felt uncomfy with JS scripting for the lack of structure and OO I knew from ActionScript, so my lull was between the death of Flash and the advent of React, which brought back a component model I could grasp (the department and CI is a different story…)

FWIW designers (like myself) used to code. Then in 2013, React came out, and craftwork became dependency management and CI. Effectively, boxing many of us out.

@meodai Idea: first scope, then explore. Start with a small subset (15-20?) that semantically covers the broad categories of Unicode characters. User picks closest to what they’re looking for, iterating to “bottom level”, and from there explore variations laterally.

what if you could navigate unicode characters by visual similarity?

@flarup Didn't the manual also feature an "ultimate" city design based on a octagon with primarily those futuristic skyscrapers? Or was that in a non-official book? 🤔 It always impressed me, but I never got to more than a few of those myself.

Good thrift find

@mikker Been using Claude Code in VS Code, with okay but mixed results. I did notice that, whenever a branch becomes a mess, it works well to delete the changes, keep the chat history, and ask it do to it again with all it's learnt in the process!

@wwalmink Try Codex and keep it on a short leash. It's way better than I would ever be

It is increasingly obvious to me how much energy I used to spend on making the code a product on its own. So much thought into the right abstractions, the right structure. Not the outcome, the structure. The goal of this was to have a codebase that was easy to work in, easy to reason about. Easy to maintain. Almost none of it was to further the product. If so, only in a sort of meta work indirect way. Now that I don’t have to care about most of it on my own stuff, it’s suddenly staring me in the face how much faster one can move, when you don’t hem and haw over every single micro decision. And now I’m wondering: how could this look for every other aspect of my business? What if I didn’t care so much about the tone of the marketing. What if I didn’t care so much about the shape of customer service. What happens if i make it about the outcome and not the structure? Yesterday I had Codex write all the first-pass docs for Tuna and it got it 90% great. I edited 5% and decided to not care about the last 5%.

@vanschneider Never understood why they use a broken USB-C connector to mean link 🤷‍♂️

@Lloyd Keen to see what you built, happy to try! Not a big MCP user yet, first experiences a few months ago were frustrating. Happy to try in context here.

Quite confident I've built the best story mapping tool out there AI-native, MCP server, real-time sync, filtered Views + ability to share them, mobile friendly... Working on Linear sync today Hit me up if you want to try an early version

@LukeW I admire you jumping in and trying a ton of new tools together. Honestly though, the sound and animation strongly remind me of these game ads 🫣 Just an idea: what if you threw a pixelation effect on top? Hide up some of the AI artefacts and connect visual and music theme better?

thoughts based on creating this short with AI: - took me roughly a day - cost $50 (~30 videos, 50 images, 5 audio tracks) - used lots of tools: Reve, Veo, Photoshop, ScreenFlow & Keynote - some AI-ness creeps through but it's close - used to cost thousands & take months

You deserve a developer experience that’s on your side.

@madsviktor The spreadsheet includes a note from a German customer: "Changed my business, I tripled my revenue, wouldn't know what to do without it". Score: 8. (based on own experience)

Your NPS is 47. What does that mean? Nobody knows. But you'll present it at the board meeting anyway. Meanwhile, 200 customers wrote actual words explaining their problems. You read 6 of them.

@vanschneider Great principles to aim for, while keeping in mind (digital) products got a lot more complex since Ram's radio. They're constantly evolving and need to pack a ton of features in often tiny form factors, even without bloat. It leads to compromise, but that's simply trade-off imo.

@Mads_Hartmann Great color for finding your gear in a mess! Plus for Makita and Bosch: they are made in liberal democracies.

@wwalmink I had forgotten about DeWalt!

We bought a house and we’ll get access soon. So now we have to make one of lifes biggest decisions. Bosch green, Bosch blue, or Makita

@RobSwish @flarup @dinolordsgame +1 on season affecting what you can/can’t do on the map! Fine if it’s little things rather than big changes, but I think that will add a touch of realism and meaning to the seasons.

@flarup @dinolordsgame I enjoyed this particularly with Civ 6, natural disasters and things, I realise it's a huge add on, could be a nice addition down the line to freshen things up 🙂

We’ve been thinking a lot about how to get more visual variety in @dinolordsgame without just making more and more one-off environments. So we started experimenting with seasons as a system for doubling the look and mood of the same maps. Thoughts?

@stevelauda_ @RobertLigthart_ @jamesm P.S. @stevelauda_ I actually wasn't aware of this optical trick. I love it :)

@stevelauda_ @RobertLigthart_ @jamesm There's sadly no such thing as gradient borders in CSS, but you could use a trick with multiple backgrounds, a transparent border, and padding-box. This requires no additional elements, real or pseudo :) Example: codepen.io/walmink/pen/bN…

I am forever grateful that I know @jamesm exist and learn A LOT from him about small details approach that I never know in my entire life before. Small details matters A LOT. Almost identical variables being applied for both, just small adjustment being made and the quality is totally different. Which one looks and feels better?

@LukeW I love how the various charts and tables create some visual diversity and thereby signpost the sections, getting away from the sea-of-text-syndrome of chat-based AI.

continuing to improve our new interface for agentic AI with a new mobile layout.

@flarup It looks amazing! 🤩 The game escaped my attention for a while, so good to see how far it has come. This is two big childhood themes combined and I’d love to play it this year! (Looks like it runs on MacOS too?🤞)

We put together a small end-of-year trailer capturing some milestones from 2025. Still a lot of work ahead, but we did well in 2025 year.
