@designertom @benblumenrose @designerfund You continue to deliver fantastic interviews @designertom. Watching you and @benblumenrose's latest episode now!

I've been asking people what it means to be "AI fluent". @benblumenrose gave me the best definition I've heard: He says it’s not about the tools at all, but knowing what to do with "I wonder if." At @designerfund he sees how 50+ design teams are actually adopting AI. We got into what happens when decent becomes default, why the T-shaped designer is about to get a lot wider, and why he's keeping his kids away from AI right now. "Build the instincts before the amplifiers." New State of Play out now (link in comments).

@smartereveryday @whoisinspace That's some nice TURBULENT rocket smoke!

Rocket Smoke is the best smoke. @whoisinspace has been updated!

@smartereveryday Will stock up on popcorn 🍿

The next Smarter Every Day will be an hour and a half long..... I kind of got carried away.

@ridd_design @msllrs @Lovable Just finished watching this today, ty mtt for sharing your process and your (❌passion❌) obsession of design!

what does a top 1% portfolio look like? I interviewed @msllrs to get a behind-the-scenes of the portfolio that got him hired as a designer at @Lovable 👀 He shares some really tactical mental models that I think everyone can benefit from 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=hI1vsP…

@Praha37v Gotta hand it to ya, well done! 🙌

how are the animated hand icons we crafted?

Discovered this fun little emoji celebration microinteraction easter egg for being the 67th like on one of @designertom's YouTube shorts — thx for the unexpected surprise @YouTube ! 🤷‍♂️ 🎊

@DramaIsMyAura Quality

no cheating do this with your keyboard and reply with what you get

Design's best trendspotter is @ridd_design. - He drives industry dialog with @joindiveclub - He changes the way designers work with @inflight - He spotlights designers, tools and trends early I spent two days with him to learn how he does it. One of the most important questions he asks: What should exist? It's a question I asked before embarking on this series going backstage with some of the industry's most talented people. This is the first episode. What I learned was a lot different than what I thought I would.

@smartereveryday Sounds like you may be ready to try out a Google Pixel phone : )

I enjoy the iMessage ecosystem, which is largely why I'm on iOS. The latest iOS update seems to be a pretty significant step backwards to me in terms of functionality and ease of use. Am I the only one that feels this way? I wish I could revert to the older version.

@KMkota0 Love the smooth control, very interested in this

a new type of motion graphics tool – keeping the beta super small rn if you want to try, reply to this post

@icanvardar I've used a silicone MacBook keyboard protector. It works well but dulls the look and makes the keys a bit harder to press

how can i prevent my macbook keyboard from becoming like this?

@boltdotnew Love how fast you can test out and visualize your ideas after just the first prompt!

See this? Want one? We're giving 3 away! Like this post and tell us what you love most about Bolt!

@chefsevenn Beans and HP sauce

What’s missing?

@AugustasDesign @figma BG & TY

Fuck it. I'm giving away the most requested hero backgrounds as a @figma file for Free! How to get them? 1. Comment "BG" 2. Follow me - so I could DM 3. RT (optional) - so more of you get it

@RiveoApp Count me in too please! This looks sweet

Beta for the mac version is starting. Let me know if you want in!

@smartereveryday Have found good results with Unsplash for free open source imagery (Pexels is also a good option) unsplash.com/s/photos/conta… They also have paid options on there as well

I need a photo of a mega-gigantic container ship (the bigger and more containers the better) and I don't want to use AI to make one. Does anyone have a photo I could license in exchange for American Dollars?

The ever continuing evolution of @Framer continues to impress. Big updates today including vector editing & collections (aka "vector sets "). One step closer to designing everything in Framer (from concept to full-fledged design systems)

Adobe? Adobye… @figma's #Config2025 just announced some impressive vector drawing tools! youtube.com/watch?v=5q8YAU…
