Hello!
Today we're releasing Paper Desktop
Paper is now a canvas for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex. Any agent can read and write html to Paper.
• push or pull from your codebase
• pull real data from anywhere
• less work, more design
What will you ship? Sound on 🎶

I’ve been meaning to redesign my portfolio for over a year, and I ended up exploring seven different approaches in one afternoon!👀
Paper is an infinite design canvas where every design is already HTML and CSS, so agents like Claude Code and Cursor can work on it directly via the MCPs. I used Paper’s Snapshot Chrome extensions to turn my portfolio into editable layers and then ran Claude Code for seven layout directions, all laid out side by side on one canvas. That let me compare them for real and finally decide on a new design style.
Definitely check them out!❤️

Alana was literally the first person to believe in Paper (long before it was called Paper!)
She is a true builder, something rare in investors.

5 things @alanaagoyal does differently
> solo gp that commits code every single day
> doesn't take pitch meetings
> runs her agents in cmux on top of @mitchellh's ghostty
> built her personal website using a dozen of her own portco's products
> automated her investor updates without AI writing
ep 4 of show me your stack is live!

Excited by Fable 5 in Paper
My takeaways so far:
- It's NOT fast, that's for sure
- The results are more thoughtful
Designs feel more balanced, fewer unique typography styles, contrast looks improved against previous models.

someone asked me why Paper shipped a pen tool instead of components
the pen tool started last October
at Paper we work as one person on a project for deep focus
feels strange in this AI era but if you look back, we're shipping quality work faster than any design tool ever
The secret to shipping consistently: Moving with deliberation.
According to @rsms, Figma may ship relentlessly but in practice, that velocity often came from one person spending a year on a single project.
Staggered, deeply intentional work creates the effect of speed.

components and tokens are on their own tracks and will ship soon too
I don't know that we could make these types of projects go faster by adding more people, at least not while maintaining the quality level we aspire to

shipping code was not the bottleneck
making useful software takes taste, user empathy, and hard decisions
design is how you rise above the noise

Making emails is so much harder than it should be
Now you can design emails in Paper visually and use the Resend MCP to make them deliver-ready without the silly work
Design → Email handoff has never been easier
We partnered with our friends at @paper to show it off:
1. Design in Paper
2. Paper MCP to Resend MCP
3. Resend MCP to create the email
Here’s a quick walkthrough 👇

I am so excited by the response to our vector launch yesterday.
The design community wants more vector editing tools in Paper.
We have an ambitious roadmap ahead!
✒️ Pen meets Paper 🖋️
Have you seen the new pen tool?
@harcourttt shows off the new launch and what's coming next, check it out!

Good morning!
The Pen Tool is live in Paper
Draw shapes, generate SVGs, or vectorize images, and edit the points and paths.
Paper uses real SVGs so exports are 1:1, no surprises.
The new SVG workflow: create → refine → ship.
Try it out! And show us what you draw.

We cannot wait to see how you use these new tools.
Our goal is to make tools so you can do your life's best work. Today's launch is a small step in that direction.
Please share all feedback! We have a community slack and discord linked in the footer of paper.design

Copy/paste from Figma to @Paper is now here and it works!
All the layers and their properties (including images and SVGs) got imported in an instant ✨

love this vision for @mainframe
review is the new bottleneck and we need tools to stay happy and sane while reviewing tons of work
May 26
we're excited to share the new @mainframe, turning agent work into video explainers, recaps, and walkthroughs x.com/mainframe/status/20593…

RT @verycracked: what’s your go to design tool in 2026 and why?
I’m mostly on @paper but want to hear what others are using these days
