Even in the absence of designers' desire to play with established UI: humans respond positively to a mix of accessible novelty and familiar patterns. Knowing when to apply novelty …

The advent of thinking machines only replaces human thinking if humans choose to stop thinking.

Let me know what you think!

Just published the first version of cardspark_ui [1], a library of polished, themable UI components for TCG apps. Kind of like shadcn for pokémon cards I worked at a startup [2] bu…

Hey, I'm Rebekah and I'm building Popmelt, a browser-native toolkit for UI engineering with local LLM CLIs *tl;dr* Popmelt gives UI engineers and designers a lightweight set of vis…

Amen. It's one real "downside" in this day and age is that it requires fairly undivided attention to be used... that aside, it's without question my favorite way to interact with i…

This is so cool! Please give me a way to share lat/long links with folks so I can show them places that are special to me :)

Canva destroyed graphic design well before LLMs caught up, but UX is still (somewhat surprisingly) on the ropes. My bet: front end devs who need mocks to build something that looks…

Yeah, this is notable. If true, every mobile carrier getting hit at the same time says "coordinated incident", from whatever source and for whatever purpose. Edit to say: my Verizo…

Merry Christmas, everyone! Continually grateful for this community: stumbling into it as a teenager changed my life and I never get tired of spinning out about new tech big and sma…

As usual, size matters. Equating typical 401(k)s with the economic activity of the class GP is referring to is... absurd. But pretending small-time participation in public markets …

Had the exact same thought. How is there not a reasonable maximum time you can hold someone pre-trial? As always, rich offenders walk free.

MCP has this in the spec: it's called "elicitation", and I'm pretty confident this push from OpenAI sets the stage for them to support it. Once a service can actively involve you a…

Three inline subscription CTAs, a subscription pop-up, and a subscribe-wall a few paragraphs in. Oof! Reacting to what I could read without subscribing: turns out profitably applyi…
