Wow @maticrobots is such incredible hardware, probably the most magic I’ve had in years. so many delightful things that make it feel like a robot vacuum sent from the actual future

have been considering putting together an IRL evening in San Francisco this summer with some other rad folks like @brian_lovin @intrater that are working on ~internal~ design prototyping tools. anyone interested?
While your team is just getting started vibe coding prototypes, the team at @stripe is vibe coding a full vibe coding platform. @ow is a design manager at Stripe who built Protodash - an internal AI prototyping tool that lets designers and PMs spin up real, clickable prototypes in minutes. In this ep he walks through: - why generic AI tools produce "blurple slop" that doesn't match your design system - how he built a full prototyping studio on top of dev boxes with cursor cc - why more PMs than designers now use Protodash - the design review mode that lets teams ship feedback direct in the app Plus, we talk about getting to the ultimate dream: demos, not memos. ty to our sponsors! 🧠 @Celigo - Intelligent automation built for AI 💻 @cursor_ai - The best way to code with AI Full episode on yt: youtu.be/hQFEAZK__q0

I designed software for 15 years and never shipped an app of my own. I couldn't code, still can't. Then I learned how to talk to AI and shipped my first iOS app. I created NEUMA to teach you how to build and ship your ideas in as fast as a weekend. heyneuma.com

It's posts like these that reinforce why my wife and I decided to build education.supply. > abundantly clear parents are actively searching for high quality products made for learning > there's a very wide spectrum in the relationship families have with putting tech in front of their kids. some families are entirely no-screen, others are working out how best to integrate (and when to introduce it). iPad alternatives are the most searched keyword on the site
Another iPad alternative is the Yoto player - audiobooks, podcasts, and music for kids. They also have an amazing BBC-style daily news report! Strong recommend.

im always like “alright better get cracking then bud” then dude hammers it out without blinking
when claude gives you a timeline of 1-2 weeks, is it aware it's gonna generate all the code in the next 5 minutes?

Joined @clairevo this week to record an episode of her podcast How I AI—had a blast hanging out and showing the prototyping tool i've been building internally at Stripe! The podcast is out on monday—but here's a sneak peek of our prototyping tool, Protodash, until then!

the stripe design team is hiring for some very fun roles helping define entirely new patterns for the internet, come join us!
Stripe’s product design team is growing! We’re hiring designers who care deeply about craft and want to shape how money moves on the internet.

i should not have bought a 3d printer because every “problem” is now a day long rabbit hole of “oh i could just print that”

it’s actually nuts how good AI has gotten at writing code i always lose receipts, so I wanted a tool to track them manuals, especially for large purchases started playing… 36 hours later I have a solid backend and a decent native iOS app(!!) already. it extracts info from receipts with an LLM, grabs the PDF of the manual a nice product photo from the internet and takes care of it all. ✨ just crazy how fast you can just make things real end-to-end now.
