some news: building a new company ✳️
built on the belief that AI isn't just changing how we interact with computers. it will change how we communicate with each other :)
we’re 8 people, funded & hiring iOS & backend positions!
lil site with more info:
I love this stance on product design. A lot of designers try to innovate by coming up with new, foreign patterns.
Innovation could happen by putting familiar patterns in a new context.
Here’s the Braun T3 transistor radio and Apple's iPod.
Some parts of a wallet are always going to be comparable to others. Our token pages are similar to Cash App. There's only so many ways to do a price chart.
But when it comes to what counts, our NFT experience, activity tab, swaps, send flow, is unmatched.
And…this is unlikely and maybe against the creative process…but it would be incredible if
@kanyewest
put out
#DONDA
as it is now and continued to update it until he feels it’s “finished”…so we can all witness the work evolve in real time.
I'm starting a new chapter 👋🏻🌴
After co-founding Jour back in 2018, later acquired by
@avec_alan
, I've decided to part ways to recharge & explore something new.
Excited for the future and to plant new roots!
Today
@Apple
awarded Locket as a Cultural Impact Winner. One of the only awards I respect!
I’ve been quietly helping Locket design the product. It’s been a real joy jumping into social with
@thefuturematt
new is perfect, i’m off notion calendar / cron
lil story: dennis had to catch his flight, but asked me to drop him off at t-mobile so he can open a direct line of communication with his users
lots of care from
@dennismuellr
&
@tryamie
, it’s felt 🫶🏻
I'm surprised how underrated the iPadOS cursor redesign is.
Given how we're so used to traditional cursors, this feels so right on iPad. Maybe can even be utilized on macOS?
Worth rewatching this by
@bwalkin
.
Watch me talk about the design thinking and mechanics behind the new pointing system in iPadOS. Then
@malonso
,
@ms_ccwan
, and
@DylanRoss
will show you how to best update the design of your app for the new pointer.

Very excited this morning to announce that Jour has been acquired by Alan!
Thankful for the trust
@jcsamuelian
and
@Gorintic
are putting into our team and thrilled for the next chapter with Alan Mind.
✈️🇫🇷 – currently flying to Paris and will be settling in for a month!
as usual, i packed my essentials in two big suitcases: one for clothes, the other for my pro display xdr
say hi so i can give my eyes a break, preferably for coffee at Grand Amour 🫶🏻
I played with
@family
this weekend and was extremely impressed with the design.
It's not unheard of for their team to pull off something at this level of craft, but some of the details are just 🤯
Drop your ENS for early access!
Been quietly building something new!
Looking for an engineer with ML experience who's excited to work with me early and shape the idea.
Especially cool if they’ve worked on or have a passion for hardware.
Open to suggestions, RT appreciated :)
i'm looking for a part-time video editor who is somewhat familiar with Figma! do you know someone?
i've designed lots of fun ui that needs storytelling :)
DMs open – happy to share more!
Also: Beyond iMessage, this could be native to all messaging apps – like voice messages.
If I went deeper into SwiftUI, I'd show a progress bar to make active recording clearer.
Shoutout
@austinvalleskey
for showing me his secret SwiftUI tricks 🙏
Exploring cities with iOS 15 maps is incredible.
It made me think of another layer to add on top: what's happening now?
Other ideas:
🍿 Show movie titles and tap the sign to buy tickets
🏟 Hover over stadium to see live game play-by-play
✈️ Show flight status & trip progress
Congrats
@withjour
team on building such a loved product that helps many.
- 4.9/5 stars with 20k reviews
- 1m+ downloads
Blessed to be able to work on a product that’s driven by these stories.
💫💕
Extremely proud of this team — Alan raises $193M.
Since Jour was acquired 1 year ago, I’ve had the chance to work with an incredible team with outstanding founders
@jcsamuelian

See our future plans and what we’ve been building at Alan Mind ✨
i don't count how many designers i've seen being condescendant about folks like me sharing ideas openly on twitter - like i'm not a "real" designer or something but just a twitter guy playing around
Messing around with a bottom sheet component that can have one, two, or three snap points.
Little features I'll add as improvements:
① Tap dimmed area to dismiss
② Haptic feedback to feel the snap points
③ Dismiss if you swipe down quickly
@jasonyuandesign
Lower expectations you normally hold yourself accountable for & be easy on yourself.
Communicate with your team that you’re navigating a burnout period so you don’t feel you’re letting others down.
Intentionally end your workdays early.
Go on a vacation if you can 🤍

Process & Tools
• 3D Art:
@midjourney_ai
• UI Design & Animation:
@figma
I can't believe that's all, of course with hours of testing prompt ideas until 3am 🫶🏻
@glefevre
I spend most of my time wired into a display while working and the 14-inch is way more portable on airplanes, cafes, etc.
+ group chat consulting for a second opinion with

Noticed I use Figma in a similar way when I tried to search for a text layer inside a file
Feature wishlist
@figmadesign
• Option to toggle "Text" results
• Dynamic thumbnail to show result of search
• Clicking the file would focus you on the text
