@vanschneider Fair, but isn’t there also something to learning the rules before learning how to break them 🤷‍♂️

@AdamWhitcroft @_poolday_ Yea I also uninstalled as soon as I saw “uploading”… like, this came up seconds after it said “you have 10,000 screenshots”, and now it’s just blasting them to the cloud, after I didn’t even make an account or anything? Wild

偶然发现 Apple 有一个叫 PrototypeTools 的 framework 用来给内部设计师调参，系统里大量 UI 的交互和动画细节都可以实时调整，并且还支持远程控制。

@jakubkrehel Not a fan of this approach. UI motion should be used for spatial orientation - it should show you where you are, where you came from, and where you can go. When a view animates in one direction, that implies it can be dismissed with a gesture in the opposite direction.

@SebJVidal Been wondering the same the whole time! Lots of places it looked vaguely like a Figma mockup. Guess we’ll see once my update goes through!

@rsms @jorilallo @tommoor I think there’s actually a chrome extension that works well enough.

@JohnnyMorlin Yea this seems like a nice behavior in theory. But in practice, I’ve found it very hard to build a muscle memory for. I wonder if haptics would help 🤔

You can turn 10,000 photos into anything once you get access to the GPU.

Arbitrary scroll clipping is one of my biggest pet peeves in UI. Gradient fades are a nice technique, especially when they only appear on-scroll.

Kinda related: Inline scroll areas that cut off suck as well. Adding a scroll-driven mask to the top and bottom makes it feel much smoother

@ViralManager The amount of praise I’m seeing for this post has me 😵‍💫 Like, I’m genuinely so offended that you thought so little of my intelligence that you’d assume the lower case text would give an aura of authenticity.

i think its disrespectful to have others read your AI slop that you probably spent less time inputting a prompt for than it would take us to read

when software had a soul there was a moment around 2005 when using a Mac felt like touching something alive. the dock bounced. the genie effect swooped. exposé scattered your windows like cards on a table. none of it was strictly necessary. all of it felt like someone cared –

@ryolu_ If u wanna share some profound insight about how ai is changing the act of soulful creation, it’s a choice to do so in an utterly soulless rambling of ai generated slop

@ryolu_ Writing can also have a soul, which is sadly absent from this tweet. LLMisms abound. I’m not at all opposed to AI-assisted writing, but I do think that, once you get a feel for its language patterns, they’re dead giveaways. Some tragic irony here. “use lowercase, sound profound”
