@joshpuckett Just spent a soldi 10m playing around the drawing tool, love the whimsy and inspo. Reminds me a little of Happy Medium NYCs draw tool on their website and how they save all the sketches hehe

Anthropic just took a big swipe at OpenAI's decision to put ads in ChatGPT. Anthropic is airing ads mocking ChatGPT ads during the Super Bowl, and they're hilarious 😅 Anthropic is also committing to no ads in Claude theverge.com/ai-artificial-…

When you toggle the lights, the entire page dims to create a more immersive sense of the lighting Such a great design detail 💡

Life update: After 13+ years in New York, I moved to Barcelona. “Starting over” in your 30s can feel so daunting but here I am, excited (a little nervous!) and mostly grateful. If you or someone you know lives here, say hi 👋🏽

Design Twitter 🗣️ we launched @MyRileyApp brand refresh, as a founding designer—SO MUCH thought and heart goes into a brand refresh and launch. It would mean a lot to me you could upvote us on Product Hunt (and peep the new brand 😉) producthunt.com/products/riley…

Honestly this is my biggest problem with the one-size-fits-all approach to parenting advice: it's too generic, and ignores where YOUR child actually is developmentally. Not just their age, but their context, temperament, and family dynamics. 🧵

My biggest gripe about the “toddler” focused gentle parenting experts is that they fail to distinguish between behaviors that we should tolerate in an 18 month old vs a 4 year old

Worst customer service experience of 2025 is easily @DoorDash 😩 my dashpass hasn’t been applied to my last 15 orders with no meaningful response to fix the issue from @DoorDash_Help it seems like anyone I speak to doesn’t know what to do and hand it off to someone else who is equally unable to fix the issue. Is it time to delete my account? 🫠

Your gentle reminder that there is a very inspiring, beautiful, tangible world outside your 4 walls and AI-side quest. TL;DR: go touch some grass 💚

These new @Airbnb icons have been such a wave of design-joy this week, almost feels like a manifesto for design in the AI-design era. In a world where we've been committed to flat design post-skeuomorphism (thanks for leading the way, @Apple!) What's emerging out of this Airbnb summer release looks a lot like the expressive and bold design of all the Memphis Group work that came after Modernism. In a world where you can prompt an LLM to design something pretty-decent-sometimes-even-beautiful-but-definitely-not-UX-approved-(yet), these new icons raise the bar and remind us that a designer's intuition still matters. Functional is not enough, following a UX pattern and calling it innovative is not enough, a heavy dose of spirited-alive (because I'm tired of using "delightful") to make you FEEL something (my favorite "F" word along with form and function 😉) At @MyRileyApp we're closing out on a really fun, alive, expressive brand-update and part of our philosophy has been "thoughtful details aren't frivolous add-ons—they're the heartbeat that makes everyday experiences sing" so of course, I had to play around with our icons in @ChatGPTapp to see what they would look like with different kind of details inspired by Airbnb. I fear this might be addictive! ✨

@davorfyi @Airbnb @Apple I don’t think the style is gonna fade out! A lot of new beautiful web-work is made better with hyper-realistic-detailed design. I’m excited to see how it keeps evolving!
