Visualizing Science: Illustration and Beyond, a talk by @ChristiansenJen, perfectly articulates how the different disciplines of information design work together to improve understanding blogs.scientificamerican.com/sa-visual/visu…

@joshpuckett @alyssaleann Love those! Perfect day drink.

@alyssaleann try a tinto de verano while you're there! 5 of them and you'll be dancing the night away 💃

today we swam in the Mediterranean and ate paella and drank an entire liter of sangria and fell asleep on the beach and I’m so in love that I might throw up

@Francklp2 Follow @petekp He posts about Gen UI and is working on Assistant AI and Tool UI. There’s also A2UI from Google.

Exploring Generative UI right now. Who else is building in this space? What stacks/standards are emerging and where do you think this is heading?

If you're building with AI tools and actually shipping—not just talking about shipping—I want to connect. Drop your product link below. No pitching required.

@gpt_alex @draparente Might I direct your attention to github.com/thatjonwilliam…

@draparente There’s so much alpha in creating skills from books and I feel like it’s very unexplored right now

Earlier this year I was getting frustrated with Claude's charts, fed this book to claude and had it generate a Tufte skill. Instantly got simpler/more beautiful visualizations. gist.github.com/aparente/e48c3…

@mrblackstudio It was a glib response to the idea of a “hype” man for Framer. But it’s true 😊. Your experiments have created more interest for me in Framer as a creative tool than a thousand landing pages.

@yesthatjon I don’t think so. There’s just too many good designers out there doing awesome things. I’m just on the fringes often going in the opposite direction 😅

Hype

Name me a company you dislike more than Meta.

@pmitu When something is both tasty and cold. Mmm + Brrr.

What's MRR? Wrong answers only.

A delightful walkthrough from @DanHollick on how he creates custom tools to generate illustrations and increase the resolution and speed of the outcomes.

@mrblackstudio FFS. All this grifting off other people’s work is getting ridiculous.

Just wanna be clear here. It’s my work. By sharing this way, it takes away from the original author and misleads things. Even though I’m tagged, why would you download the video to upload it again? Use the share function. For all grifters, X now logs original artists work and therefore this message approach doesn’t work for clout.

Reactor Pill in Framer 🔥 Shaders, blend modes & frame styling = next level - By @mrblackstudio

This was the right move.

@kevintwohy It's a Scandinavian system, and so more common in European manufacturing I believe. But, as far as I'm aware, it's intended to address exactly the problem you're encountering.

@yesthatjon Interesting. Have not heard of this, will research. For better or worse most factories/vendors rely on Pantone/TCX etc so sort of stuck with that format/standard.

Is there a premium “color matching” service that will pick a range of Pantone matches for digital colors across various lighting/materials? If not one of you should start it because my eye is twitching over here.

@Orkhan @round I came here to say exactly that. Say you're on a feature branch, Luke.🤞

@round I hope you are doing it on a new branch 😅

doing UX with claude on production code is real fun

@rileycx @hemeon I think a founder is differentiated by distribution. There are many designer/builders now, but few founders who can actually garner attention.

@hemeon founder

What do we call this new hybrid builder? • Design (taste, interaction) • Engineering (ship fast) • AI-native (LLMs, agents) • Product sense (MVP, prioritization) I hear “Product Engineer” or “AI Builder” What are you calling this role?

@hemeon Designer/Builder. Yep, it's a slashie.

@bengold @vilinskyy 👆This. Most of us (designers) just want to build. The autonomy of founding is seductive, but comes with so much overhead. Today’s founding trifecta is designer/builder, system architect, marketing/biz ops.

@vilinskyy I don’t know man, I just want to make stuff. I don’t really want to be responsible for a while business or do all of the admin shit involved.

Designers who have all three, and especially "properly pilled", would find way better incentives at starting their own company. Unless the founder who's looking is insanely good at deep science/hard-to-get connections/tech, that's beyond connecting other's libraries.
