Check out what my buddy is making. It’s been super useful for me so far.
I'm building a new company with @hnshah. Today we're launching our first product. It's called Typeahead. Autocomplete for everything you write on your Mac. You type, suggestions appear inline right at your cursor and you hit Tab to accept. It picks up how you actually write. It runs on a local model, so it works offline and your writing never leaves your device. One time purchase, free updates for life. If you write a lot on a Mac, check it out. Live on Product Hunt today ⌨️

Remotion Maps skill got updated and now powered by @maplibre No API token required anymore! Just install the skills and generate cinematic map animations: flight paths, camera tracking, zooms, animated routes.
Added a new Remotion skill: Maps! It's not always one-shot, but very steerable. Requires you to make a Mapbox token, and to re-install the skills.

It's funny how apps and cars are having the same issue: bring our buttons back! Don't give me an input field to chat to my content. Give me buttons and thought out flow of how to achieve what the app was made for. Don't slap on an prompt field and expect I'm just as affective.

This is what the future of design looks like. Not just this specific toolΒΉ, but the fact that every team in the world is now is empowered to build their own 'design factory'. Shader Lab was built with Claude Code, @threejs, @nextjs, and @vercel. To the exact needs, vision, and specification of @basementstudio. Every time we work on a project with them, we get a glimpse of an arsenal of internal tools they've deployed. Some built specifically for a project, some more general purpose. It's now easier to generate software re-assembling powerful building blocks, than searching and procuring the right SaaS for the job. ΒΉ though it's a banger
gm, today we're launching Shader Lab, like photoshop but for shaders β€’ design slick layered shader compositions β€’ export high-quality assets or shaders β€’ OSS package to plug & play ↳ eng.basement.studio/tools/sh…

Today we're open sourcing open-agents.dev, a reference platform for cloud coding agents. You've heard that companies like Stripe (Minions), Ramp (Inspect), Spotify (Honk), Block (Goose), and others are building their own "AI software factories". Why? 1️⃣ On a technical level, off-the-shelf coding agents don't perform well with huge monorepos, don't have your institutional knowledge, integrations, and custom workflows. 2️⃣ On a business level, the moat of software companies will shift from 'the code they wrote', to the 'means of production' of that code. The alpha is in your factory. Open Agents deploys to our agentic infrastructure: Fluid for running the agent's brain, Workflow for its long-running durability, Sandbox for secure code execution, AI Gateway for multi-model tokens. (Because of our focus on Open SDKs and runtimes, this codebase is a gem even if you're not hosting on Vercel.) TL;DR: if you're building an internal or user-facing agentic coding platform, deploy this: vercel.com/templates/templat…

I designed the new icon set for @cursor_ai. ✨ 420 icons. 2 sizes. 2 styles. One single family. Simple, beautiful and practical – with just enough character to feel satisfying.

It took me exactly 99 (!) sketches to find the right shape I had in mind for the new @screenstudio logo. Literally dreamt about it at night till I nailed the sketched and digital version. There's no end to cool stuff you can make if you really take the time.
Literally every logo has already been done.

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

as agents make it easy to add features, design matters more, not less. the role is no longer just pushing pixels – it’s deciding what should exist, how it fits together, how humans stay in control, and how intelligence feels clear, trustworthy, and useful. taste, craft, and judgment have always been the bottleneck. the game is not who ships fastest, but who makes the right thing for humans.
Replying to @lennysan
I don’t know exactly what’s going on here, but it does feel AI-related. Unlike PM and eng, which started growing in 2024 (two years post-ChatGPT), design didn’t. If I had to venture a theory, I’d say that because AI is allowing engineers to move so quickly, there’s less opportunityβ€”and less desireβ€”to involve the traditional design process. That said, you’d think design would become a differentiator as more products compete for attention. Something to think about for your company! We’ll keep watching this trend and AI’s impact on org design more generally. One interesting observation we made when we went a level deeper: the ratio of demand for PMs vs. designers has flipped. In mid-2023, we went from more open designer roles to more open PM roles. And ever since, PM demand has been pulling away (currently 1.27x). This will be another trend to monitor, in terms of how AI is reshaping org design.

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

i built arcoty.pe/ to solve this issue!! arcotype sorts all of the 2000 fonts on google fonts for the first time by visual similarity vibe tagging for easier browsing & searching no more defaulting to inter anymore haha
i wish fonts didnt cost $100000000 to use legally so if you use one in an app you're basically forced to use Inter or something on google fonts or nothing at all
