Sneak peek at the @OpacityHQ team chatting about the state of AI and design. Full video coming Wednesday :)
Jun 15
We gave over 500 product demos at Stripe Sessions, back to back.
One pattern ran through almost all of them, and it points to where design is heading.
Our first State of Design breakdown is out Wednesday.

We shipped a minimum viable brand this week, on purpose.
@drewwilson and @NotoriousUSB talk through the reasoning:
What a full brand system actually costs a company at our stage, and why we put that time into the product instead.

Here's the full convo between @NotoriousUSB and I on why we scoped the new @OpacityHQ brand to its essentials, the "minimum viable brand", and what an over-built brand could cost a company at our stage.

Did you know that the .png format was created out of spite? Or that .jpeg just discards like half of the colours in your image because you won't notice?
To celebrate last week's launch, I published a chapter on image compression.

Fun fact: @valiocon was probably the biggest reason I ended up at GitHub. Met @kneath, gave some rough feedback on an icon change, and remains one of my favorite conferences bringing dev design more together.

Go to ValioCon and remember that the best part of this whole design thing was always the people.
Attending events and seeking real community will change your career in so many unforeseen ways.
And this conference in particular is in a class of its own.

Minmum Viable Brand™
Full convo will drop tomorrow!

Every designer knows the trap of over-polishing the brand before the product is even launched. We chatted about why we did something different this time. Full conversation coming tomorrow.

Hilarious
Hollywood has spent nearly $600 million trying to bring Matt Damon home.
Have they considered maybe he just doesn’t want to come back?
