We are super excited to share with you our initial release of Lucky Engine. We are building a robotics engine from the ground up to be what we wished we could find in a simulator before

Starting to look out for my next role in London. I have over a decade of experience designing, engineering and shipping web software. Recently I've been focusing on building complex design → code agentic workflows. Drop me a dm!

If there's one thing I could impress upon younger designers and engineers it's this: Uncommon effort is easier to demonstrate than you think. Yes, it requires more work. But you'd be shocked at how low the bar is for any sort of opportunity or relationship you're pursuing.

I'm using @paper as a side-tool right now. But as soon as they components and themes, i'm all in. - Amazing product - Cares about and understands their users - Founder (and team) is active in community

Good example of when a company forgets why it started & who it was building for. Instead focusing on things like Make, Slides, Buzz, etc.

"Your lack of urgency is wasting your potential."

i once had a close friend in the early 2000s who never asks for advice... no should i? questions, no group chats weighing in, no public planning. one day he just showed up with a new car. another time he mentioned he’d quit his job and had been running his own thing quietly... nobody knew he’d been saving, studying, failing and retrying. bro never narrated the struggle, he never advertised the intention. i used to think he was reckless for not looping people in but years later i realized he was just protecting his momentum. some plans die the moment too many voices touch them, some people work best in silence, where doubt can’t reach them and validation isn’t needed. not everyone moves loud. some people move alone and arrive fully formed. buena suerte. 👍

overcooking you've seen this: someone ships a dashboard that shows every number with a sparkline, every action has a confirmation modal, every empty state has an animated illustration and a tagline. individually each decision made sense to someone. together it feels like chaos. nothing is in focus. that's overcooking. not one bad decision in isolation, but the accumulation of reasonable ones that no one said no to. AI makes this worse as the cost of adding dropped to near zero. it can build a feature, even a whole new concept in minutes. so people do. and then they do it again. the thing that started with a clear purpose slowly becomes a collection of additions that are each justifiable but collectively incoherent. the root problem is that most "new ideas" aren't new. they're repackaging of something that already exists at a more fundamental level. a new sticker on an old concept. it feels like progress because something changed, with a new word and skin – but the thinking didn't go deeper, it just duplicated itself into confusion. the whole has a core. you feel it once you understand the whole system. everything in it are related and balanced. when you overload it, that gravity weakens. not because any one thing is wrong – but because attention is finite and you force it everywhere. what we need aren't more tools that make more slop. it's seeing through the chaos, and returning to what the thing actually is, and cutting everything that doesn't serve that. that's harder now, not easier. because there's always something else you could add with one more prompt.

Stop sharing the work of other designers as if it is your own. I am saddened that this is even a conversation we apparently need to be having, but I'm seeing an increase in posts where work is shared in a way that subtly—or not so subtly—suggests the poster is the one who created it, while giving no credit to the original designer. I think folks do this under the guise of marketing, trying to just 'share inspo' or get traction so they can drop their subscription design service in the comments, but it's a shameful way to try and grow. At best you are cheating yourself out of the chance to actually connect and engage with those creating the work that inspires you. At worst you will inevitably get called out, look like a fool, and immediately go on 'do not hire or refer' lists that you probably weren't aware even existed. Our industry is small, and careers are long. It may seem tempting, like any shortcut is, to do it for the views or as a way to get started, but I promise you your integrity, authenticity, and relationships are far more valuable. It's great to share work that inspires you! We all love discovering new things. But when you do, share it in a way that honors and credits those who made it. The day will eventually come when you wish someone did the same when sharing your own work.

A nice feature to show off a native note-app on the website itself? Mimic some of the text-features! - Completely editable - Slash commands - (Basic) font styling - Even download to see how we manage/format your notes Go ahead, give it a whirl. (Also some release notes, and preview-screenshots to explore on the desktop itself)

Making something people love is mostly making something you love and hoping the overlap is real
