@ryanflorence Linear set a bar that's genuinely uncomfortable to be measured against. Good problem to have.

Studying linear UIs today and man they are making my job hard

@bbssppllvv @referodesign 🔥

This thinking indicator is just two lines of math: x = 7cos(t) − d·cos(7t), y = 7sin(t) − d·sin(7t) No keyframes. No Lottie. Coming soon on @referodesign

@skooookum Building software requires taste. Taste can't be prompted.

AI is very good at writing code and dangerously mediocre at building software.

@garrytan The gap between people who've actually leaned in and those who haven't is already showing in output quality. It's only going to widen.

Lots of engineers think AI codegen is only good enough to do little bug fixes here and there If you tell them you can ship 15k LOC of ai gen code to prod they think you have lost your mind. It’s so so early. And also those engineers are living in 2025.

@trq212 The design system context is what makes this a real workflow shift, not just a neat demo. That's the piece that was missing.

Today’s Figma MCP update makes it one of the strongest integrations with Claude Code I’ve seen. You can now use Claude Code to design in Figma with the the full context of your design systems.

@stephenhaney Always find it interesting when the magic turns out to be uncommonly well-organised divs

Pretty accurate breakdown of Paper's rendering engine, for those interested in such things

@danshipper This is exactly how good creative direction works too. One person who breaks things to find what's true, one who makes it repeatable. The mistake is hiring two architects and wondering why nothing ships

new model for engineering team structure in 2026: 2 people only one pirate and one architect the pirate's job is to move as fast as possible to develop valuable, shipped product features by vibe coding. the architect's job is to turn the product surface discovered by the pirate into a reliable, structured machine—also by vibe coding, but at a slower, more well-reasoned pace. every product needs a pirate but most product's only need an architect once they some form of PMF, and in that case they usually don't need one full-time. architects can work across many codebases and solve interesting technical challenges. pirates go hard on a product that they own end-to-end.

@dmiiiitrii The jump from 'people know it' to 'people feel it' is the whole job of brand. Looks like you got there

new icon and logo design for Kree8 2.0

@ZingadePiyush Motion as a utility class is the right abstraction

Introducing Motionwind ✨ A Babel plugin that turns Tailwind-like classes into Motion animations. Zero imports, zero runtime overhead. Works with Next.js, Vite, and React. No imports. No runtime. Just classes. Link:👇

@DannPetty The ones using AI to push the brief further are fine. The ones waiting for AI to catch up to their taste are better than fine.

Designers are not cooked. We’re still the chefs and they can’t stand it.

@trq212 The design-to-code handoff is still the most broken part of the creative workflow. If Claude Code closes that through Figma, it changes everything about how studios work.

I'll be doing a livestream with Figma on March 31st on how to use Claude Code with the Figma MCP to collaborate between engineers and designers. Hope to see you there, you can sign up below!

@Conrad_rd this is what Stage Manager should have been

imagine...

@flavioAd SVGs ❤️

Every time Google AI Studio makes an svg i’m like yeah ok this is insane This was literally one shot

@BrettFromDJ Absolutely stunning

More interface details. 😍

@sama Same thing's happening with design. The muscle memory of doing it all by hand is what gives you the taste to judge what the machine produces now.

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.

@raphaelsalaja The best part about this being a skill file is that you're not just preserving the rules, you're baking them into every project by default.

i've distilled everything i've written on userinterface.wiki into a single skill file. 119 rules across 11 categories across animations, timings, ux laws, typography, audio, and more. npx skills add raphaelsalaja/userinterface-wiki

@shadcn The days of having to write your own versions of this are over

To get translucent menus right, we had to manually test components over different gradients & colors, checking visuals & accessibility. Now multiply that by 5 component types across 5 styles in both light and dark modes. It's a lot of work. Work that, for now, AI can't do.

@shadcn Phone for the idea, laptop for the build. Context window is doing most of the handoff work now.

Tell me about your prompting workflows. Start something on your laptop, pick it up on your phone. Phone to desktop.  What does your setup look like? Which apps?

@DannPetty The gap between design and production has been the industry's biggest lie for years. This is the close.

Design in Figma. Build in Figma Make. This combo is still so underrated!

@trq212 It's just coding. The barrier was never the language, it was the time.

we need a better word than vibe coding man, Claude can create the most beautiful things
