Is it bad luck to get out of your car **seconds** before Phil Collins'
"In the Air Tonight" drum break comes in?

Congrats @smothers_john and @noondesign team! So fun to be a fly on the wall to this story. Great launch!
Apr 2
Early last year I had the privilege of leading @noondesign’s initial round of financing and partnering with two founders looking to tackle one of the most ambitious problems in product design. What started as an investment quickly turned into a much deeper collaboration. I'm excited to share that I joined the Noon team last year to build alongside @bandiaditya , @kushagrasinha7 and the incredible team they’ve assembled.
Product designers today are caught between a canvas and code. Design lives in one place, production code lives in another. Everything in between is translation and that’s where things break.
Noon is the first design tool rebuilt from the ground up that works entirely on your product code, so you can design how it looks and how it works. With AI that works in seconds, not minutes.
We’ve quietly been working with a number of leading designers and are excited to open up access soon. If you’re a designer, or know a designer that wants to get early access, we can’t wait to show you what we’re up to.
Grateful to @chemistry @firstround @ScribbleVC @AforeVC @svangel @soleio @joulee @iansilber @lil_dill @johnnie and the many others who believed in us early.

I’m thrilled to announce we’ve raised $44M to build a new home for product design. Meet @noondesign.
No workflow is more broken and fragmented in 2026 than the product designers’. The very same people who care most about building software don’t have software purpose built for them. @kushagrasinha7 and I have lived this problem first hand as designers ourselves.
That’s why we built Noon. The first product design tool that works entirely on your product code, so you can design not only how a product looks, but also how it works. With AI at its core that works in seconds, not minutes.
For the first time, you can create, iterate, build, test and ship. All in one canvas. No translations or roundtrips to the codebase and back.
Comment “Get Noon” and we’ll get you on the list for early access.

Every designer at @tryramp is a builder at heart.
If your app bar looks like this
If you think "months" is an unreasonable timeline
If you are obsessed with details
If you always --dangerously-skip-permissions
You'll find yourself right at home.

We only hire builders (and we’re on a hiring spree)!
Reply with something you've built. I'll read them personally. We’re interviewing the best ones.
You’ll be a good fit if you:
- work best without permission
- default to “how could I automate this”
- had weird teenage hobbies
- spend your sunday making side projects
- have more Claude agents than cousins
- shipped something this week
- make prototypes, not powerpoints
- don’t like hierarchy
- are good at games: chess, monopoly, poker
- would take dinner with Elon over $100k
Good luck,
Eric

Email isn’t going anywhere. It’s just going to get a whole lot better.
Introducing Sutro—an email client designed for people and their agents. Bring your own Claude, Codex, or OpenClaw agents and have them work with you directly in your inbox.

Today we at Playbit are sharing our first iteration of the Playbit runtime, our vision for building playful personal-scale software.
playbit.app/
Personal-scale software means programs by you, for you and for the people in your life. An app for your friends isn't very useful if only some of them can run it, so usually these projects have only one option: the web, an abstraction which many apps don't fit well into.
We wanted a better solution, so that's what we're building. A runtime designed for highly dynamic graphical apps that are collaborative, with a really good set of developer tools.
The Playbit runtime is a bit like an OS, but lives inside a host environment and gives guest code a small system layer to interface with. In practice it’s a minimal ABI-stable syscall interface with well-defined semantics.
While we only support macOS in this initial release, our vision is for a powerful multimedia and collaborative platform which you can write your app for once, and run it on any platform.
Learn more and grab the macOS app at playbit.app/
With love and a bit of code,
– Edward, Nick, Julia and Rasmus

Rebooting an old pattern from Facebook days:
Have @claudeai build a little "variables panel" with sliders for whatever you're working on to dial in the details.
Great for animation timings, stroke and elevation, type scales, etc.

Fun trick w/ Claude Code for detail work.
When asking it to make a set of visual changes, ask for a little "A/B button" so you can toggle them on or off.
