This is really big news. Google introduced the Open Knowledge Format (OKF) - a standardized way to store information in a directory of markdown files. Makes it really easy to make a digital brain that agents can use. These files can serve as a living wiki. You can give agents the ability to query them or edit them. They can interlink. Seems to me this could replace Notion or Obsidian. I can think of so many uses for this. Google's blog post: cloud.google.com/blog/produc… An easier to understand explanation is the SPEC.md file: github.com/GoogleCloudPlatfo… I gave those two links to Antigravity and asked how we could use it for any of the projects we're working on. It came up with so many ideas. I would imagine Claude Fable 5 would whip up some pretty amazing things based on this system. Currently creating an OKF library of our pepper garden. It's going to be a fun weekend.

We went from 0 to 2,200 paying customers in under a year by following @ycombinator's 15 rules: 1/ Do things that don't scale. Get your first 10 customers by hand. 2/ Launch now, not when it's "ready". A mediocre product in front of real users teaches you more in a week than 6 months of polishing in the dark. 3/ Charge from day one. If nobody will pay, you don't have a startup, you have a hobby. 4/ Talk to users every single day. The roadmap you need is sitting in your customers' heads, and they'll hand it to you for free 5/ Always hunt the 90/10 solution. For almost any feature there's a way to capture 90% of the value with 10% of the effort. 6/ There are only two real jobs: write code and talk to users. Everything else (conferences, press, VC coffees, corp dev calls) is fake work. 7/ You pick your customers as much as they pick you. 10 users who love you beat 1,000 who kind of like you. 8/ Growth is an output, not a strategy. Grow before product market fit and all you're buying is churn. 9/ Do less, really well. Pick one or two metrics and judge every task against them. 10/ Know if you're default alive. Paul Graham's question: on current growth and current burn, do you reach profitability before the money runs out? 11/ Don't hire until it hurts. Headcount is not progress, it's burn. Every great startup was embarrassingly small for embarrassingly long. 12/ Momentum is the only real moat in year one. Ship something every week, even something tiny. 13/ Every great startup is badly broken at some point. The game isn't avoiding fires, it's how fast you put them out. Again. And again 14/ Ignore your competitors. Startups die of suicide, not murder. In year one, the only company that can kill yours is your own 15/ Startups rarely die from running out of money. They die because the founders fall out. Brutal honesty with your cofounder is the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy Good luck !

I've been building brand tools with AI lately and it's the most fun i've had with design in years. not generating finished assets, but building the generator that makes on-brand textures / patterns / key visuals on demand. turns out, many designers are vibecoding tools like this! so i'm starting a running thread to collect the good ones. built something like this? drop it below. 👇

Introducing text-to-lottie: an open source skill and harness for generating production ready Lottie animations with codex/claude code. $ npx skills add diffusionstudio/lottie Prompts guide and repo in the comments.

Massive output uptick due to agentic AI. Complete flat adoption.

To get good animations from an AI you need to get good at telling it what you want: - "stagger this list of items" - "make this animation direction-aware" - "spacial consistency", "crossfade", "layout animation", I made a motion vocabulary for this: animations.dev/vocabulary

unpopular opinion: I haven't used Figma text layers in last 3 years every component uses a text/heading component instead. buttons, inputs, cards, everything. no raw text layers, no text styles panel just convinced the whole design team at @opencode to rebuild our system like this 🫡 why: - figma's type panel is painfully slow to work with - auto-layout is baked in, skip the wrapper frames - typography variables just work video overview below 📹

Introducing Code on Canvas in @pencildev AI design tool for Claude and Codex. Design ❤️ Code are officially in a relationship, opening new ways to create on canvas. Ask agent to generate custom design tools inside Pencil on the fly, create interactive components, generative art and more, but still keep the full manual design control. This is just the beginning. Let us know what you think. And let's take it to the next level together. Download the new Pencil update today.

People ask me how has AI changed the design process? Just look at @tryramp Product Designer job description
