I made @figma, but everything is text. Create a quick wireframe, export as markdown, and chuck it into @claudeai. Try it out at wiretext.app

First time I’ve felt compelled to download a new app in months and months. And it’s cute
Jun 11
Introducing Pool That little icon got us $2M in funding, 15M organic views, and now you can all finally discover what's behind it. Pool is "just an app for your screenshots." But it holds a few bets we decided to build a whole company on. We believe the context of the future is your camera roll. Understanding someone's taste, the texture of their life, can unlock things we can't even comprehend yet. We believe the future of interfaces will feel the way games make us feel, computing as a beautiful mix of art and technology. Now live on the App Store.

No one: Claude Opus 4.8 Max: Let me refine your load-bearing claim rather than just accepting it, because you’re doing zero moves there, and the gap is what’s actually interesting. The one place I’d still push, because I think it matters: your message is wearing content-clothes, but the content isn’t actually *there*. The tell: it’s just an empty string. But the emptiness of the string IS its lack of content. Pull one, and the other goes inert. That’s the structural spine.

I'm always taken aback when I see the @V7Labs logo on LinkedIn on a an XDR display, because (from what I gather) it uses a color profile (Rec.2020 PQ / HDR?) that pushes the pixel brightness way beyond normal profiles, including P3, and because it's just white on black it glows intensely. Super nice, odd, effect. linkedin.com/company/v7labs/…

🍃 I made a new thing: Monogrove - helps you manage your project dependencies across multiple projects, and look for CVEs, drift, and just abandoned packages. Mac app or TUI your call 👉

“Some people would end up getting lost in the sets.” That is actually wild as fuck.
Kane Parsons says they created 30,000 square feet of liminal spaces for the ‘BACKROOMS’ movie. Some people would end up getting lost in the sets. (via: @screenrant)

Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see. @eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)

Using Flash 3.1 with openclaw is going well so far, but it trying to mash up my like of David Lynch and Cormac McCarthy with recommendations for hotels in the desert is quite something. I miss Opus' smarts but I don't hate these weird leaps.

It’s true, Claude Code has been so frustrating to work with over the past week. Codex is pretty much the daily driver now dipping into cc for anything ui focussed. (Whenever you see a brown/burnt orange with off white bg ui, that’s Codex)
Claude Code is basically unusable at this point. I give up.

I would never knowingly use a chat interface for any saas app and I am deeply ai-pilled. I can't believe any normal users would like using this, but hey, might be wrong. My mum loves chatbots.
notice something? Linear, PostHog, Attio - all shipped the same thing in the last few weeks. Homepage is a chat bar - not a dashboard. This is the SaaS industry quietly admitting that traditional UI doesn't work anymore. Every user is different. One homepage can't serve them all. The playbook is shifting: → expose your core APIs → connect an agentic layer → let users use software the way they want SaaS became chat. Chat will become Generative UI - the agent won't just reply in text, it will compose the interface itself. We're closer than people think.

If anyone cares, Flash 3.1 works very well OpenClaw and is practically free. GPT, on the other hand, is next to unusable.
