The thing is, this all applies to working with AI as well: - The AI needs a way to propose tentative changes (think Copilot) - Human needs a way to review / adjust suggestions - Need a way to compare and discuss alternatives Again.... version control problems! 4/

Good insights about building with LLMs, matches my experience so far
As modern web apps become more realtime and collaborative (Figma, Canva, Notion, Linear, etc.), systems and frameworks are being actively developed to support this need. On a high level, I find them bucketing into one of these approaches:
NEW ESSAY: The Sound of Software We may be known for the rich visuals in our @notboring apps, but I’ve had a surprising number of people tell me that it’s the sound design that makes it for them. In most digital mediums like video games and film, sound is half the experience.…

2024 is a year of wandering exploration for me—working with new teams on novel problems! • Just wrapped with @inkandswitch on universal version control • Continuing as a co-organizer for @localfirstconf coming up in May • And starting something new tomorrow :-)

Great talk at @devYonz 's Local-First meetup today by @_adamwiggins_ . This slide stood out. Local-first brings vast benefits for app developers. The same is true for app users. Any progress towards more production ready local-first tools should be celebrated.

Kicking off AI UX 2024 with presentations from @swyx @Mappletons @geoffreylitt and @thesephist Science fair demos and final presentations soon!
This week @Mappletons joins us and talk tech illustrations, digital gardening, designing AI into apps and more!
Had a blast attending AI UX Demos 1024 organized by @swyx @vibhuuuus @Mappletons @thesephist @geoffreylitt ! It's so inspiring to see the burgeoning community showcasing all their work.
This UI I built a couple years ago for a @cushionapp prototype to visualize availability was bonkers. Didn’t pan out, but still love the direct manipulation and realtime calculating…
Good version control puts your mind at ease while exploring. Important alone, with other people, and especially with LLMs.
To design good UIs for collaborating with AI, we need good UIs for version control. Summary of short talk I just gave at AI UX 2024: 1/
@geoffreylitt This is where I landed as well. The collaborator model is a very natural way to integrate arbitrary intelligences into the process and it’s one that is both good without any AI but and yet scales to arbitrarily powerful ones 🙂
To recap: I find it generative to think of designing for collaboration with AI as a version control problem, and hope that frame might be useful to others too. More demos and details: inkandswitch.com/patchwork/note… 12/
Eg, in a world of universal versioning, imagine you ask an AI to update an app design, and it proposes tweaks to the mockups, the code, and the docs... all together in a branch! That's the vision we're pursuing with Patchwork. 11/
That's why on Patchwork we're interested in universal version control: What if all your creative tools (writing, drawing, spreadsheets, ...) could share one version control system, managed by the OS? And what if AI could hook in at that layer, to collab in any app? 10/
OK sounds cool but, some problems: - as a dev, even if you wanna support this stuff, branching, diffs, comments etc. to your app is hard - as a user, if you have to learn a different branching system for every app, not great... 9/
That bot is obviously a toy use case, but I've found real utility in a bunch of editor bots. One I really like: applying the Ink & Switch "academish" writing style guide. inkandswitch.notion.site/Academish-Voic… 8/
